MaRS, RSI and VeRa Volumes and Datasets Organizations, Formats and Name Specifications 4.1 Definitions and General Concept 4.1.1. Definitions 4.1.1.1.Data Product A labeled grouping of data resulting from a scientific observation. Examples of data products include spectrum tables, and time series tables. A data product is a component of a data set. 4.1.1.2. Data Set The accumulation of data products, secondary data, software, and documentation, that completely document and support the use of those data products. A data set is part of a data set collection. 4.1.1.3. Data Set Collection A data set collection consists of data sets that are related by observation type, discipline, target, or time, and therefore are treated as a unit, archived and distributed as a group (set) for a specific scientific objective and analysis. 4.1.1.4. Volume A physical unit used to store or distribute data products (e.g. a CD_ROM or DVD disk) which contain directories and files. The directories and files include documentation, software, calibration and geometry information as well as the actual science data. A volume is part of a volume set. 4.1.1.5. Volume Set A volume set consists of one or more data volumes containing a single data set or collection of related data sets. In certain cases, the volume set can consists of only one volume. 4.1.2. Data- and Volume Set Organization The general concept for the MaRS, RSI and VeRa Data- and Volume Set Design is shown in Figure 4-1 (not available in Ascii). One data object is accompanied by a label. The result is a data product. Data product + ancillary data + documentation is a data set. One data set equals one volume. 4.2. Volume and Dataset Name Specification 4.2.1. Dataset 4.2.1.1. Dataset ID The Data Set ID is a unique alphanumeric identifier for the MaRS, VeRa and RSI data products. One data set corresponds to one physical data volume and both have the same four digit sequence number.

However, since the radio science team tries has to archive data for Mars Express as well as for Venus Express and Rosetta, it was granted the use of spacecraft-independent mission phase names which can be used for all three missions. Nevertheless, for Venus Express the ESA-defined mission phases will be used.

In all other file names and documents we keep PSA-level. (**) In the keyword DATASET_COLLECTION_ID the CODMAC-levels are used instead of PSA-level. In all other file names and documents we keep PSA-level. 4.2.3. Volume 4.2.3.1. Volume ID The Volume ID provides a unique identifier for a single MaRS, RSI or VeRa data volume, typically a physical CD-ROM or DVD. The volume ID is also called volume label by the various CD-ROM recording software packages. The Volume ID is formed using a mission identifier, an instrument identifier of 3 characters, followed by an underscore character, followed by a 4 digit sequence number. In the 4-digit number, the first one represents the volume set, the remaining digits define the range of volumes in the volume set. For Mars Express level 1/2/3 data and measurements taken before 1.1.2006 the first digit U is not defined after the kind of measurement (see below for Rosetta and VEX), but after the Mission phase (see Table 4-8). U = 0: Commissioning 1: Occultation 2: Gravity 3: Solar Conjunction 4: Bistatic Radar 5: Passive/Active Checkouts 6: Swing-bys/Fly-bys 7: Cometary Coma Observations 9: Higher Science data Important note: the here defined ESA PSA Volume_Id is not identical with the Radio Science Volume_Id. The Radio Science Volume_Id is a number which is incremented measurement by measurement, independent what kind of measurement was conducted. The Radio Science Volume_Id belonging to one single measurement can be found in the Logbook, located in the folder DOCUMENT/MRS_DOC (or RSI_DOC or VRA_DOC). The ESA PSA Volume_Id in contrast is incremented by measurement types. MEXMRS_4021, for example, denotes the 21th archived Bistatic radar measurement recorded by the Mars Express MRS instrument since implementation of this guideline. It is applied to measurements recorded after the 1.1.2006. For measurements that were recorded earlier in general the radio science volume_id was used.

Volume Version ID There can be several version of the same volume, if for example the archiving software changed during the archiving process or errors occurred during the initial production. This is indicated by the Volume Version ID, a string, which consists of a V for Version followed by a sequence number indicating the revision number.

Volume Name The volume name (formatted according to Table 4-7 ) contains the name of the physical data volume (typically a CD-ROM or DVD) already identifiable by its VOLUME ID. Both the VOLUME ID and the VOLUME NAME are printed on the CD-ROM or DVD label. xxxxxx_zzzz_yyyy_ddd_vv.v Acronym| Description |Example ======================================== xxxxxx|Mission and Instrument ID|MEXMRS | |RORSI | |VEXVRA --------------------------------------- zzzz |Radio Science Volume_Id |0001 --------------------------------------- yyyy |Year of the measurement |2004 ---------------------------------------- ddd |Day of year of the |180 | measurement | ---------------------------------------- vv.v |Volume Version ID | V1.0 Table 4-7 : Volume name definition Examples: MEXMRS_0001_2003_180_V1.0 RORSI_0999_2016_355_V1.0 VEXVRA_0508_2008_190_V1.0 4.2.4. Volume Set A volume set consists of a number of volumes. 4.2.4.1. Volume Set ID The volume set ID identifies a data volume or a set of volumes. Volume sets are considered as a single orderable entity. Volume set ID shall be at most 60 characters in length, must be in upper case and separated by underscores.

Volume Set Name The Volume Set Name provides the full, formal name of a group of data volumes containing a data set or a collection of related data sets. Volume set names shall be at most 60 characters in length and must be in upper case. Volume sets are considered as a single orderable entity. In certain cases, the volume set name can be the same as the volume name, such as when the volume set consists of only one volume.

RSR Level 1a The RSR is a computer controlled open loop receiver that digitally records a spacecraft signal through the use of an analog to digital converter (ADC) and up to four digital filter sub-channels. The digital samples from each sub-channel are stored to disk at regular intervals in real time. In near real time the records are partitioned and formatted into a sequence of RSR SFDUs which are transmitted to JPLs Advanced Multi-Mission Operations System (AMMOS ). Included in each RSR SFDU is the ancillary data necessary to reconstruct the signal represented by the recorded data samples in that SFDU. The structure of RSRs is described in the NASA document 820-13, 0159 -Science Radio Science Receiver Standard Formatted Data Unit (SFDU) And in the IGM documents ROS-RSI-IGM-MA-3113-RSR-Read-Program-Manual MEX-MRS-IGM-MA-3026 RSR-Read-Program-Manual The physical layout of the RSR SFDU is divided into five sections: the SFDU label, the header aggregation CHDO label, the primary header CHDO, the secondary header CHDO, and the data CHDO. The primary header CHDO and the secondary header CHDO together constitute the value field of the header aggregation CHDO; the header aggregation CHDO and the data CHDO together constitute the value field of the RSR SFDU. The length of the RSR SFDU (in 8-bit bytes) is designated as N in this module. In general, the length of all items in the RSR SFDU are fixed, except for the data CHDO. The length of the data CHDO is variable and is determined by the sample rate and sample size of the recorded data. The length of the data CHDO is designated as M in this module. In any case, the total length of the RSR SFDU is easily ascertained from the length attribute in the SFDU label (total SFDU length N = SFDU length attribute + 20). 6.1.2.3.

Only files with continous sequenced numbers (the file names are the same only the sequence number varies for these files) are merged together. Otherwise a new Level 02 data file is created (merging data files with a new sequence of files). The level 2 source_product_id however gives the RAW IFMS file names since the raw files are used for processing. But the content of the IFMS raw files are identical to the corresponding level 1a IFMS files in one data set, only the file name is different.

IFMS meteorological calibration The meteorological file is the Level 1b IFMS output and describes the temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity at the ground station site. The file is accompagnied by the IFMS configuration file *.CFG (see Appendix 14.1 for content). Since the meteorological information is stored independently from doppler and ranging measurements, these files usually do not start and stop at the same time as a Doppler or range data file. That means that sometimes the meteorological data applicable for a Doppler or range data file has to be extracted from two files. 10.1.4.1.

SRFs were derived separately for each receiver channel; but the fact that the spectral characteristics of each receiver depended almost entirely on digital signal processing meant that there was little practical difference among channels when sampling rates (output bandwidths) were the same and the SRFs were interchangeable. 10.2.5.1 File name format GNCs are ASCII files having names of the form rggSUE0L02_SRF_yydddhhmm_qq.TAB 10.2.5.2 File format SRFs are ASCII PDS SPECTRUM objects with attached labels. 10.2.6 Bistatic Radar calibration log files Bistatic radar calibration log files (BCL) contain system temperature calibration results. For each receiver channel the table includes the best estimate of system temperature with the antenna pointed to zenith (either pre- or post-cal, or a combination of both), the associated noise diode temperature, and the system temperature at the mid-point of the bistatic (surface) observation. In general there is one set of four rows for each experiment - one for each receiver channel (X-band and S-band, right- and left-circular polarization). The table is cumulative, growing by four rows for each new observation. The Bistatic Radar Calibration files are produced by the Stanford University Element (SUE) under the direction of R.A. Simpson. 10.2.6.1 File name format BCLs are ASCII files having names of the form rggSUE0L1A_BCL_yydddhhmm_qq.TAB Since these files are cumulative the first file from Stanford gets after renaming the sequence number _00 and when an updated BCL - usually after a new bistatic radar measurement - is received the new file will get the same file name as the first file but the sequence number is increased by one and so on.

Time Standards MaRS, RSI and VeRa data products make use of different Time and Reference systems. For our data processing and archiving the most important Time Systems are: Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Ephemeris Time (ET) The scientific success of a Radio Science Experiment depends critically on a common understanding about the conventions for the reference and time systems. The following sections give an overview of the time standards necessary to understand the above mentioned Time Systems and to convert to other common Time Systems. It should be noted that radio science data are generated and recorded at ground stations. Thus the times given in the data and label files are ground station and not onboard time. Note: In some equations the letters h, m, s or d are used. They refer to hour, minute, second or day of the corresponding value. 13.1.1. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is obtained from atomic clocks running at the same rate as TT (see section 13.1.3.3 ) or TAI (see section 13.1.3.2 ). The UTC time scale is always within 0.7 seconds of UT1 (see section 13.1.3.5 ). By the use of leap seconds, care is taken to ensure that this difference is never exceeded. However, because of the introduction of the leap seconds it becomes clear that this time scale is not steady. The International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) can add leap seconds and is normally doing this at the end of June or December of each year if necessary. The actual UTC can only be determined for a previous point in time but predictions for the future are published by the IERS. This fact should be noted when future missions are planned on the base of the UTC time standard. UTC can be obtained by the difference of the predicted value DUT1 or the past value (delta)UT between UT1 and UTC published in the IERS Bulletin A (http://maia.usno.navy.mil/) which contains previous leap seconds and predictions: UTC = UT1 - DUT1 or UTC = UT - (delta)UT This relation is needed to obtain UT1 (UT) from UTC. 13.1.2. Dynamical Time Scale T_eph for the JPL DE405 Ephemeris In a general relativistic framework, time is not an absolute quantity but depends on the location and motion of a clock. Therefor unlike UTC T_eph is not based on the rotation of the earth around its axis. T_eph refers to the center of mass of the solar system and is the independent variable of barycentric planetary ephemerides. It should be noted that during the years 1984 2003 the time scale of ephemerides referred to the barycenter of the solar system was the relativistic time scale Barycentric Dynamic Time TDB (see section 13.1.3.1). From 2004 onwards this time scale for the JPL DE405 ephemeris will be replaced by T_eph. For practical purposes the length of the ephemeris second can be taken as equal to the length of the TDB second. T_eph is approximately equal to TDB, but not exactly. On the other hand, T_eph is mathematically and physically equivalent to the newly-defined TCB (see section 131.3.7), differing from it by only an offset and a constant rate. Within the accuracy required by MaRS, RSI and VeRa we use: T_eph ~ TDB. T_eph is then defined as seconds past J2000, with J2000 being 12 h, 1 January TDB. 13.1.3. Other Time Standards 13.1.3.1. Barycentric Dynamic Time (TDB) Since the differences compared to TT are fairly small, the corrections can be determined by the following approximation : TDB = TT + 0.001658*sin g + 0.000014*sin(2g) [s] with g being the mean anomaly of the Earth in its orbit given by g=357.53 + 0.95856003*(JD(UT1)-2451545.0) [deg] 13.1.3.2. International Atomic Time (TAI) TAI provides the practical realization of a uniform time scale based on atomic clocks. This time is measured at the surface of the Earth. Since this time scale is a steady one, it differs from UTC by an integral number of leap seconds introduced up the current point in time: TAI = UTC + LS where LS is the number of leap seconds. The unit of TAI is the SI second. 13.1.3.3.Terrestrial Dynamic Time (TT) Terrestial Time (TT) - formerly Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT) - is to be understood as time measured on the geoid. It has conceptionally a uniform time scale. TT is the independent variable of geocentric ephemerides. TT replaced Ephemeris Time (ET) in 1984. The difference between TT and the atomic time scale (TAI) is a constant value of 32.184 seconds: TT = TAI + 32.184 One therefore obtains also the relationship: UTC = TT - 32.184 - LS TT does not take into account relativistic corrections. It is used as an independent argument of geocentric ephemeris. 13.1.3.4. GMT (UT) Time is traditionally measured in days of 86400 SI seconds. Each day has 24 hours counted from 0 h at midnight. The motion of the real sun was replaced by the concept of a fictitious mean sun that moves uniformly in right ascension defining the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Universal Time (UT). Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time (GMST), however, is the Greenwich hour angle of the vernal equinox, i. e. it denotes the angle between mean vernal equinox of date and the Greenwich meridian. The mean vernal equinox is based on a reference system which takes into account the secular effects, i.e. the precession of the Earths equator but not periodic effects such as the nutation of the Earths axis. In terms of SI seconds, the length of a sidereal day (i. e. the Earths spin period) amounts 23 h 56 m 4 s.091 +- 0 s.005 (corresponding to a factor 1/1.00273790935) making it about four minutes shorter than a 24 h solar day. Hence, sidereal time and mean solar time have different rates. 13.1.3.5. Universal Time (UT1) Universal Time UT1 is the presently adopted realization of a mean solar time scale (constant average length of a solar day of 24 hours) with UT1 = UT. As a result, the length of one second of UT1 is not constant because of the apparent motion of the sun and the rotation of the Earth. UT1 is therefore defined as a function of sidereal time. For any particular day, 0 h UT1 is defined as the instant at which Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time (GMST) has the value: GMST(0h UT1) = 24110.54841 + 8640184.812866 * T_0 + 0.093104 * T_0exp(2) - 0.0000062 * T_0exp(3) [s] For an arbitrary time of the day, the expression may be generalized to obtain the Greenwich hour angle GHA by multiplying this time with the factor 1.00273790935, adding this result to GMST and convert it into degrees (if so desired) GMST(UT1) = 24110.54841 + 8640184.812866 * T_0 + 1.00273790935 UT1 + 0.093104 * Texp(2) - 0.0000062 * Texp(3) [s] where T is the time in Julian centuries since the 1st of January 2000 , 12 h, i.e. 2000 Jan. 1.5 : T = (JD(UT1)-2451545)/36525 and JD is the Julian Date. Ecliptic and Earth equator at 2000 Jan 1.5 define the J2000 system. The most useful relation for computer software is one that uses only JD (UT1): GMST(degree) = 280.46061837 + 360.98564736629 x (JD-2451545.0) + 0.000387933 Texp(2) - Texp(3) /38710000 The difference between UT1 and TT or TAI (atomic clock time, to be explained below) can only be determined retrospectively. This difference is announced by the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) and is handled in practice by the implementation of leap seconds (maximum of two in one year). The above formulae contain implicitly the Earths mean angular rotation omega in degrees per second [3.15]. Omega (rad/s)=(1.002737909350795 + 5.9006E-11 T - 5.9E-15 Texp(2)) * 2 PI/86400s 13.1.3.6. Geocentric Coordinate Time (TCG) Geocentric Coordinate Time TCG represents the time coordinate of a four dimensional reference system and differs from TT by a constant scale factor yielding the relation TCG = TT + L_G (JD-2443144.5) * 86400 s L_G = 6.9692903E-10 For practical reasons this equation can also be put into the following relation : TCG = TT + 2.2 s/cy * (year-1977.0) cy = century 13.1.3.7. Barycentric Coordinate Time (TCB) The Barycentric Coordinate Time TCB has been introduced to describe the motion of solar system objects in a non rotating relativistic frame centered at the solar system barycenter. TCB and TCG exhibit a rate difference which depends on the gravitational potential of the Sun at the mean Earth-Sun distance 1 AU and the Earths orbital velocity. The accumulated TCB-TT time difference amounts to roughly 11 s around epoch J2000. TCB = TCG + L_C (JD-2443144.5) * 86400 s + P (Mc Carthy 1996) and P approximately +0.0016568 s * sin(35999.37 degree T + 357.5 degree) +0.0000224 s * sin(32964.5 degree T + 246 degree) +0.0000138 s * sin(71998.7 degree T + 355 degree) +0.0000048 s * sin(3034.9 degree T + 25 degree) +0.0000047 s * sin(34777.3 degree T + 230 degree) T = (JD-2451545.0)/36525 L_c = 1.4808268457E-8 The largest contribution is given by the first term. When neglecting the other terms we can approximate P by: P = 0.001658 s sin(g) + 0.000014 s sin(2g) 13.1.3.8. Julian Date (JD) In astronomical computations, a continuous day count is used which avoids the usage of a calendar. The Julian Date (JD) is the number of days since noon January 1, 4712 BC including fractions of the day. 13.1.3.9. Modified Julian Date (MJD) Since the JD has become such a large number, the Modified Julian Date was introduced for convenience. JD was reset at November 17th 1858 which leads to the following equation : MJD = JD-2400000.5 days Note that the count for MJD starts at midnight. 13.2. Time formats 13.2.1. ISO Time Format In our data and label files we use UTC time to measure the time the data were recorded at the ground station in the PDS compliant ISO/DIS 8601 standard format CCYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sss. (Example: 2004-06-21T025208.000 corresponds to the date 21.6.2004 and the time of day 2:52:08.000). 13.2.2. Time in Fractions of Days of Year This is the UTC time in the format fraction of days of year starting with the first day of year the data was recorded at 00:00.000 UTC. (Example: 2003-07-01T18:03:02.000 in ISO format corresponds to 182.752106 in fraction of days since the 1 st July was the 182th day of the year 2003.) This format is only used in the data files. 13.2.3. Ephemeris Time Format Ephemeris time is given in seconds starting with the 1st January 2000 at 12:00:00.000 TDB (see also section 13.1.2). 14 Appendix 14.1.
