Abstract
Abstract The Planetary Data System (PDS) is a distributed, discipline‐oriented entity with the following objectives: (a) assemble, publish, and distribute peer‐reviewed, documented planetary datasets; (b) work with planetary missions to ensure that datasets will be PDS‐compatible and will be delivered to the PDS on predetermined schedules; (c) develop and maintain standards and tools for assembly and documentation of datasets; and (d) provide expert assistance to the planetary community on data ordering functions, analysis techniques, and preparation of PDS‐compatible datasets. To implement these objectives the PDS is divided into several nodes. The Central Node is responsible for managing the PDS, interfaces with missions, developing standards, and technology utilization. The Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility concentrates on planet, spacecraft, and instrument position and orientation information, and the Imaging Node handles large, raw‐image archives. The PDS also includes a suite of discipline‐oriented nodes—Planetary Atmospheres, Geosciences, Planetary Plasma Interactions, Small Bodies, and Rings. The PDS has interacted with a number of planetary missions and has also sponsored the preservation of a number of older datasets. The involvement of the planetary community in defining the structure of the PDS and in implementing the operational system has been fundamental to the success of this distributed system. Specific examples described in the paper to illustrate PDS archiving are the production and distribution of Magellan datasets and the archive compiled from the Geologic Remote Sensing Field Experiment.
