PDS Imaging Node Annex for Geospatial Products

This form is intended for use by planetary science investigators who have a specific scientific need to deliver derived geospatial data products to the public. Data products should be derived from an official PDS archive but are not part of that archive; such products are often created later in a mission from archived data as part of a NASA-funded research or restoration project.

Following submission of this information and preliminary review by the Imaging Node, users will be asked to provide detailed metadata for the product(s), including image/product size, map projection used, geographic extent, etc. For a few image or map formats (e.g., ISIS Cube, PDS img, GeoTiff, Shapefile), some product details can automatically be gathered. Examples of geospatial data products and required metadata include the Clementine UVVIS Warped Mosaic (image) or Renovated Lunar Global Geologic Maps (GIS).

* Denotes a required field.
