Searching for Data at the Geosciences Node

Some data sets have customized search tools to help you select and view data products.

The MER Analyst's Notebook is the tool of choice for the serious user of Mars Exploration Rover data. The Notebook integrates the data sets with mission planning information and engineering data to allow virtual "replay" of mission events. Similar Analyst's Notebook tools are planned for future landed missions such as Phoenix.

The MRO CRISM Spectral Library is a collection of laboratory spectra of Mars-analog materials. The Library allows searching of spectra based on the material classification and other parameters.

The Odyssey GRS Data Node at the University of Arizona provides custom-generated GRS data products tailored to the user's latitude-longitude and time range specifications.

The Mars Orbital Data Explorer (ODE) will enable searches for MRO data and other Mars orbital data sets by selecting an area on a map or by specifying detailed search criteria. 

Downloading Data
