MESSENGER MDIS EXPERIMENT DATA RECORD V1.0
Abstract ======== The Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) consists of two cameras, a Wide Angle Camera (WAC) and a Narrow Angle Camera (NAC), mounted on a common pivot platform. This dataset includes the Experiment Data Record (EDR) version of all available images acquired during the cruise phase to Mercury and includes post- launch checkout images, flyby images of Earth, Venus, Mercury, and the Moon, images acquired from Mercury orbit, and inflight calibration images. In addition to the imagery, anciliary information (including calibration files needed to process the data further) is included.
