This document will serve to
provide users of the MESSENGER Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer
(EPPS) data products with a detailed description of the EPPS instrument, data
product generation, validation and storage. Note that the EPPS is made up of two instrument
subsystems, the Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS), and the Energetic
Particle Spectrometer (EPS). The
FIPS and EPS will be described in individual sections within this document.
They will be referred to separately when necessary and referred to as the EPPS
instrument when dealing with areas common to both instruments. The FIPS covers the lower energy range
of particles and measures the mass per charge (M/Q), energy per charge (E/Q)
and incoming direction of each charged particle. The EPS covers the higher
energy range and measures mass, energy, and incoming direction of each
particle. The MESSENGER EPPS data products are deliverables to the Planetary
Data System (PDS) and the scientific community that it supports. All data
formats are based on the PDS standard.
The EPPS science data are divided into two categories:
Level 2 edited-raw data (referred to as experiment data records or EDRs) and
processed data (referred to as reduced data records or RDRs). RDRs are
generated from EDRs, and represent data calibrated to a physical unit such as
particle intensity (Level 3), resampled Level 4 data products, or derived Level
5 data products. This SIS describes the EPPS EDR data products.
EDRs consist of unprocessed instrument-count data
including a description of the observation geometry (boresight, spacecraft, and
target). In those cases where on-board compression has been applied, the EDRs
will contain the decompressed version of the compressed instrument data as
downlinked to the SOC through the Deep Space Network (DSN). The
decompressed EDR data will be delivered to the PDS as CODMAC Level 2 data.
EPPS’s EDR is formatted to include standard PDS labels, spectra, pulse-height
analysis and housekeeping data (instrument count data are otherwise unprocessed).
To make full scientific utilization of the archived EDR data, processing such
as conversion of data values into engineering units, and geometric
rectification may be necessary. A detailed description of all data products in
the EPPS’s EDR follows.
In addition this SIS describes the
EPPS documentation volume, which will contain products related to both the EDR
and RDR level archives. The contents of the documentation volume will enable
one to conduct useful analysis of the EDRs. The documentation volume is
described in greater detail in section 6.6.

This document has undergone several revisions. The following are those revisions available from the PDS:
· MESSENGER Software Interface Specification for the Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer, Version 2F, 10/10/2006. First version delivered to PDS.
· MESSENGER Software Interface Specification for the Energetic Particle and Plasma Spectrometer, Version 2G, 12/10/2007. Second version delivered to PDS. This version describes Version V1.0 of the EPS and FIPS datasets. Minor changes.
The EPPS EDR data products are stored on Hard Disk and in an SQL (Structured Query Language) relational database for rapid mission access during mission operations. The data products will be electronically transferred to the PDS Planetary Plasma Interactions (PPI) Node according to the delivery schedule in the MESSENGER Data Management and Archiving Plan. The data in the EDR files themselves will be stored in a PDS binary TABLE object unless stated otherwise (section 5.2).
Due to changes in the EPPS flight software, several new EDR’s have been added, and several have been retired. In addition, the formats of some of the EDR’s have been updated. Due to these changes, the EPS and FIPS data sets have been advanced to version V2.0. These versions supersede and replace version V1.0. The new data set identifiers are:
The following table summarizes the changes from V1.0 to V2.0. Also see tables 2 and 8, following for more details.

The roles and responsibilities of the instrument teams,
Applied Physics Lab (APL), Applied Coherent Technology (ACT), and the Planetary
Data System (PDS) are defined in the MESSENGER
Data Management and Archiving Plan.
The EPPS system encompasses two
instrument subsystems – the Energetic Particle Spectrometer (EPS) and the
Fast Imaging Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS). EPS covers the energy range of 25 to
>500 keV for electrons, and 10 keV/nucleon to ~3 MeV total energy for
ions. FIPS covers the energy/charge
range of <50 eV/q to 20 keV/q.
The Johns Hopkins University/Applied Physics Laboratory constructed the
EPS instrument. It provides
electron, high and low-energy ion as well as diagnostic events as a single
stream of data that is placed into the EPS event FIFO for processing by the
EPPS flight software. The FIPS instrument was constructed by the University of
Michigan Space Physics Research Laboratory. It provides a single serial stream of
event data to the EPPS system at rates of up to 50K events/sec. The desired
throughput for FIPS charged particle event processing as well as for EPS event
processing is 5 kHz. FIPS generates a single 48-bit raw event packet format
which includes a 1-bit header that identifies the event as a proton event or a
non-proton event; an 11-bit TOF value; as well as a Wedge, Strip and ZigZag
values (each 12 bits in size). In addition, the FIPS system generates counter
and housekeeping information that the EPPS software can access via the I2C bus
interface. Detailed descriptions of
the EPS and FIPS sensor can be found, respectively, in Livi et al. (The
energetic particle spectrometer (EPS) on MESSENGER: Instrument description,
characterization, and calibration, MESSENGER Project report, 2004) and
Zurbuchen et al. (The Fast Ion Plasma Spectrometer (FIPS) calibration report, MESSENGER
Project report, 2004).
The Fast Imaging Plasma
Spectrometer (FIPS) sensor is designed to measure the distributions and
composition of magnetosphere ions as well as to characterize the nature of the
planetary magnetic field of Mercury.
It will do this by measuring the mass per charge, the energy per charge,
and incident angles for particles entering the
sensor. The particle
intensity is also calculated from the event rate
information.
The FIPS consists of an
electrostatic analyzer (ESA), located at the entrance to the sensor, a post
acceleration chamber between the output of the ESA and the carbon foil, and a
time-of-flight telescope. The ESA
at the entrance to the FIPS acts as a wide-angle lens for ions. It only allows
ions with a specific energy/charge band to enter through its output plane. This band is stepped through 64 values
to complete one measurement cycle (scan).
The times spent in each step can, in principal, be set to arbitrary
values, different for each step.
However, FIPS is normally operated in one of two stepping rates, once
step per second (normal mode) or one step per 100 milliseconds (burst
mode). When delays due to high
voltage ramp-ups are included, these result in cycle times of 64 sec and 8 sec,
respectively. Associated with each
step in a scan is a voltage setting, a threshold, a settling time, and a
duration or time interval after which the next voltage step is performed. Ions exit the output plane of the ESA
and are then accelerated in the post acceleration chamber. This acceleration is done to boost low
energy ions to penetrate the carbon foil. The acceleration also helps to
reduce energy straggling and angular scattering – effects that cause
degradation in mass resolution and imaging. The carbon foil serves as the source for
secondary electrons, which are scattered out by the penetration ions. After penetrating the foil, the particle
resides within the TOF (time-of-flight) chamber where velocity and incoming
angle are computed. Velocity is
determined by the time difference between the generation of secondary electrons
in the start foil and a stop surface, and angle is determined by spatially
imaging the position of the generation of the start secondary electrons. From the velocity, energy per charge,
and the post acceleration potential it is then possible to calculate the mass
per charge. The measured species
for the FIPS range from H to Fe.
The FIPS instrument provides a
single serial stream of event data to the EPPS system at rates of up to 50K
events/sec. The EPPS software maintains a mass distribution spectrum for the
FIPS instrument. This spectrum consists of a collection of two hundred
fifty-six bins (each 24 bits wide) that count the number of events
corresponding to M/Q values. In addition the software maintains a set of 5
element energy spectra. Each FIPS
spectrum corresponds to a specified M/Q range and consists of sixty-four 24-bit
bins. For events whose M/Q values
fall within one of the selected ranges, an energy value is computed and used to
determine which bin within the corresponding spectrum to increment. The spectra
are accumulated over an integral number of voltage scans, after which they are
compressed and output in telemetry. FIPS also records 5 heavy ion
energy-summed images (called “velocity distributions”) for each of the same 5
M/Q values plus one for protons.
A commanded number of raw events will be
recorded at each scan level.
The Energetic Particle
Spectrometer (EPS) determines the distributions of the higher energy
magnetospheric ion and electrons, including the composition of the ions to characterize
the nature of the planetary field of Mercury. It does this by measuring the energy and
velocity of the particles and then using a look-up table to determine the mass
and therefore the species of particle. The measured species for the EPS include
H, He, CNO, Fe, and electrons.
Electrons are measured by solid-state detectors behind absorbing
aluminum flashing.
The EPS sensor consists of a 60mm
diameter, tuna-can-like cylinder, in which a start foil and stop foil, wrapped
around opposite curved sides of the cylinder, constitute the time-of-flight
chamber. An incoming particle hits the start foil and scatters one or more electron,
which is attracted to the start anode ground. The particle continues and hits the stop
foil, scattering other electrons, which are then attracted to the stop
anode ground. The solid-state detectors outside of, but wrapped around the
curved face of, the stop foil, then detect the
particle and measure the energy state.
The detectors are arranged so that
each detector senses the events within a given range of incidence angles. Each of the six detector modules is
composed of four pixels: large and small ion and large and small electron. This
provides 24 detector elements. At
any one time, 12 of the 24 elements are used (6 ion and 6 electron
detectors). Each of the six EPS
detector modules also maintains its own spectrum via sixty-four 16-bit bins.
Sixty-three bins will count the particle/energy combinations of interest, and
one will count the remaining “background” events which do not fall in the
particle/energy combinations of interest. The spectra are accumulated over a
time set by ground command, after which they are compressed and reported in
telemetry.
The EPS system also includes
thirty-two 16-bit rate counters and three 24-bit rate counters that are read by
the EPPS software every n seconds (n specified by command). EPS status and
housekeeping data such as voltages, currents and temperatures are also
periodically sampled.
The EDR data products generated by the EPS and FIPS subsystems, as well as the EPPS instrument status EDR, are described in this section. For all the EDR products there is a detached PDS label file which describes the contents of one data file. Each label file will have the same base name as the data file it is describing, with the extension “.LBL” to denote a label file. The label file defines the start time and end of the observation, product creation time, and the structure of the binary (or ASCII) tables.
The data product overview will first cover the EDRs unique to the EPS and FIPS subsystems, then describe the EPPS Engineering and Status EDR. There are a total of 9 EDR data products. Four of these are science and ancillary data products for the EPS instrument. Four others are science and ancillary data products for the FIPS instrument. The last is the engineering and status data products for the entire EPPS instrument. Each data file contains the data collected on a given earth day.
The EPS portion of the data archive
currently consists of five EDR data products. The EPS instrument creates all of
its different science data packets during one observation, but the packets are
telemetered to the ground at different times. The different formats of these data
packets do not lend themselves to standardization into one EDR file format.
Therefore, different EDR formats have been developed, each of which captures
one specific data grouping such as spectra or PHA data. A given EDR data file
will contain all the observations obtained on same earth day. The following table shows the
different EPS data products. Each data product is identified within the PDS
label by a STANDARD_DATA_PRODUCT_ID value (shown in parentheses).
The table has been updated to reflect an instrument
flight software (FSW) version 6 upload on 8/18/2008, henceforth known as the
FSW6 upload. The software changed to consolidate and improve instrument
telemetry allocation on EPS. During
the time of instrument check out shortly after launch, EPS’s time-of-flight
section suffered a failure, subsequently, EPS lost its ability to measure ions
by elemental mass species (can only now measure ion and electron). Hence a change of FSW is required to
improve EPS’s ion and electron data products. This software upload changed the
packet formatting such that two EPS EDRs had to be retired and be replaced by
two new EDRs. Two additional EDRs had to be created to store data from two new
instrument packets. Finally, the format for the EPS PHA EDR has been updated to
be support slight changes in the PHA data. The new PHA data format will be
consistent for EDRs before and after the flight software upload. The new flight
software code was uploaded on 8/18/2008 and implemented on 8/19/2008. Thus,
data on or after 8/19/2008 is generated from FSW6.
In addition, version 5 of the instrument
flight software (FSW5), uploaded 9/6/2007, consolidated the EPS housekeeping
data with FIPS housekeeping data in a new EDR, the EPPS_LONG. Thus the High
Priority Housekeeping (EPS_HI_HOUSEKEEPING) EDR has also been retired.
Version 7 of the instrument flight software (FSW7), uploaded on 8/18/2009, did not affect the format of the EPS EDRs. Thus, data on or after 8/18/2009 is of the same format as data generated from the FSW6 upload. FSW7 does affect the FIPS EDRs and changes are detailed in section 5.2.2.

The EPS Spectra Data is stored as counts/accumulation for a number of defined data channels. The spectra are reported within 4 different classes of channels: high-resolution/low-resolution electron channels, and high-resolution/low-resolution ion channels. The channels are defined in Tables 2-5. The information provided in these tables is given for each of 6 different view directions. Note that the exact boundaries given with either energies or times-of-flight are subject to change via ground commands. Tables 2-5 list electron energy levels as recorded within the onboard sensors and electronics. The translations of those electronic levels to the energies of the incoming particles can be found in the Livi et al. (2004) Calibration report referenced at the beginning of this document.

The
element that is not represented in Tables 2-5 is directionality. The nominal total field-of-view (FOV) of
EPS is 160° x 12°. Because the
electron and ion Solid State Detectors (SSDs) are side-by-side, the total
electron or high energy ion FOV in the long dimension is about 1/12 smaller
(~13° smaller) or about 147°. And, the centers of the ion and electron
FOV’s are shifted with respect to each other by ~13°. Let us define two angles within the MESSENGER
spacecraft coordinate system:
“alpha” is the angle from the +Y(s/c) axis and within the Y(s/c)-Z(s/c)
plane (with “plus” angles viewing towards the +Z(s/c) axis); “beta” is the
angle for rotations away from the Y(s/c)-Z(s/c) plane. With these definitions, the total FOV of
EPS is roughly: (-80° <
alpha < +80°) and (-6° < beta < +6°). The ion FOV is (-67° <
alpha < +80°) and (-6° < beta < +6°). The electron FOV is (-80° <
alpha < +67°) and (-6° < beta < +6°). For low energy ions (where
the directionality is determined by microchannel plate anodes and not solid
state detectors), the field-of-view is :
(-80° < alpha < +80°) and (-6° <
beta < +6°).
The
direction within the ~160 degree field of view is determined for high-energy
ions and for electrons with the determination of which solid state detector
(SSD) was active. With the
high-energy ion and electron segments, there are a total of 12 SSD elements
active at any one time. The
numbering scheme for these detector elements ranges between 0 and 11, with the
even SSD elements corresponding to electrons and the odd SSD elements
corresponding to ions. The “0”
detector (an electron detector) is the one that looks most closely aligned with
the –Z(s/c) axis, while the “11” detector looks most closely to the
+Z(s/c) axis. In the data that is
telemetered to the ground, the directionality of the electrons and ions is
represented with a number between 0 and 5.
For electrons the directions (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) correspond to SSD’s (0,
2, 4, 6, 8, 10). For high-energy
ions the directions (0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5) correspond to SSD’s (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11).
There is a confusing element in
the representation of the directionality of low energy ions (time-of-flight
only). The directionality is now
determined not with the SSD’s but with the microchannel plate anodes. The numbering of the TOF Start-Anodes
ranges between 0 and 5. An ion or
electron that passes right over Start-Anode “0” (only the ion “stimulates” this
start anode) strikes either SSD 10 or SSD 11. Thus, the Start-Anodes 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
and 0 map to SSD’s (0, 1), (2, 3), (4, 5), (6, 7), (8, 9), and (10, 11),
respectively. The confusing element
is that the Low Energy Ion direction “5” (representing the firing of anode “5”)
corresponds roughly (not exactly) to the High Energy Ion direction “0”, and the
Low Energy Ion direction “0” corresponds to the High Energy Ion direction
“5”. This confusing element
exists for historical reasons, and because this representation is how the
directionalities are indicated on board the instrument, we believed that even
more confusion would be introduced if we made a change within the data
generated on the ground.
In FSW6, the high (energy)
resolution spectral EDR product (EPS_HIRES_SPECTRA) is integrated for T*N1
seconds, where both T and N1 are commandable parameters. The EPS_HIRES_SPECTRA
data are sent from the spacecraft in high priority telemetry packets. The low (energy) resolution spectral EDR
product (EPS_LORES_SPECTRA) is integrated for T seconds (high time resolution)
and contains rate data as well as the low energy spectra. The EPS_LORES_SPECTRA
data are sent from the spacecraft in medium priority telemetry packets. The
EPS_SUMMARY_SPECTRA EDR product contains both high and low energy spectra and
is integrated over T*N1 (low time resolution). The EPS_SUMMARY_SPECTRA data are
sent from the spacecraft in high priority telemetry packets. It provides
redundant data and a quick look capability; it may be enabled or disabled by
command.
In previous releases, these
spectral products were identified by the priority with which the data packets
were telemetered by the spacecraft to the ground. In FSW6, this naming
convention has been discontinued.
The following table clarifies the relationship between the EDR names and
the various resolutions and priorities of the three principle products:

New in the FSW6 is the Scan
data. In scan mode, EPS varies the
energy thresholds integrating hardware rates at each threshold setting (defined
in tables). The thresholds are changed
three times, then the base thresholds are restored. A scan is defined as four threshold
settings, three offsets and one nominal.
AT each threshold step, a subset of the hardware rate counters are
accumulated for ¼ second.
The Scan mode gives EPS the ability to lower its electronics threshold
by temporary suspending the processor operation.
PHA events are stored by the EPPS flight software in either the EPS High, Medium, or Low priority Science packet, for data prior to FSW6. The following explains how PHA event data is collected for data prior to the FSW6 upload on 8/18/2008. PHA events are distributed among the packet buffers in round-robin fashion: the first detected event is stored into the high-priority packet buffer, the next event is stored in the medium-priority packet buffer, and the last event is stored into the low-priority packet buffer. Please note that there is no individual time tag per PHA event.
Each event allocated to a particular buffer is simply stored into the next slot within the buffer until the buffer fills up. Thereafter, a rotating priority PHA replacement scheme is used in deciding which events may be displaced from the filled buffer. The maximum number of PHA events saved per integration period for a particular packet is shown in the following table:
Table 7 Maximum PHA Events per Integration
EPS Packet Type |
Maximum number of PHA events saved during each accumulation interval |
High Priority |
10 |
Medium Priority |
20 |
Low Priority |
300 |
Note that a given EPS science packet (which may or may not contain PHA events) is time tagged with one MET time (not per PHA event). PHA events are accumulated within an integration period depending on the priority of the given science packet. Each PHA event is time tagged with the same MET associated with the science packet in which it was contained. Thus, there will be a maximum of 10 High Priority events with the same MET, 20 Medium Priority events with the same MET or 300 Low Priority events with the same MET. A given PHA EDR data file will contain the observations obtained on the same earth day and arranged in time order. Therefore a given PHA EDR data file will contain a set of N PHA events with the same MET, followed by another set of PHA events with the same MET, etc.
The FSW6 upload created a PHA packet for the express purpose of downloading PHA events. The EPS collects data for T*N1 seconds (where T=integration time and N1 is the integration time multiplier). If the integration is aborted then N1 will be the actual value instead of the commanded value. Over the T*N1 integration time, EPS saves PHA data in the order that it is seen. Each PHA packet can record a maximum of 934 PHA events. The events in a single PHA packet are time tagged with one MET time.
FSW6 also retired the high, medium, and low priority packets and consequently the capture of PHA events within those packets. The only packet which contains EPS PHA events is the EPS PHA packet and is sent down as a medium priority packet; the file naming convention will reflect that FSW6 PHA EDRs are no longer associated with a priority level.
The FIPS portion of the data
archive currently consists of four EDR data products. As with the EPS the data collected in
one observation is downloaded at different times and in different packet
formats. Therefore, different EDR formats have been developed, each of which
presents a different grouping of the data. The following table shows the
different FIPS data products and their files. Each data product is identified
within the PDS label by a STANDARD_DATA_PRODUCT_ID value (shown in
parentheses). Note: a FIPS Flight Software Upload (FSW5) was conducted on Sept
6, 2007 which implemented several changes to the FIPS science packets. This in
turn changed the format of the FIPS EDRs. The EDRs prior to FSW5 were
regenerated to reflect the updated format. The FSW5 upload also modified the
FIPS High Priority Science packet: housekeeping data was no longer being stored
in the FIPS High Priority Science Packet. Instead, that housekeeping data was
added to the EPPS Status packet, which in turn led to the creation of the
EPPS_LONG_STATUS EDR. The FIPS_HI_HOUSEKEEPING EDR is no longer generated for
data collected on or after 9/6/2007.
This was superceded by a FIPS
Flight Software Upload (FSW6) conducted on 8/18/2008, henceforth known as the
FSW6 upload. This software upload changed the packet formatting such that the
Medium Priority FIPS Spectra EDR had to be retired and was replaced by FIPS
High Resolution Proton Velocity Distribution EDR. The FIPS SCAN EDR was created
to store data from a new instrument packet. The new flight software code was
uploaded on 8/18/2008 and implemented on 8/19/2008. Thus, data on and after
8/19/2008 is from the FSW6 load.
Another instrument flight software
upload (FSW7) was conducted on 8/18/2009. This software upload enable the
creation of Proton PHA events in addition to the existing Heavy Ion PHA events.
Both types of PHAs are combined in a single EDR file. The PHA data are also
exclusively generated by specific PHA packets. The naming convention for FSW7
PHA EDRs has been updated to reflect this change. Additionally the FIPS High Resolution
Proton Velocity Distribution EDR has been retired due to the FSW7 update.
The table below reflects the
changes brought about by each successive FSW upload.
Specific changes to the FIPS EDR
formats are described in a NOTE at the start of each FIPS format file.

Each of these items is explained
in detail in the following sections.
Much of this information is updated from ‘FIPS Data Processing and
Instrument Control’. Further
details can be found in ‘EPPS Instrument Flight Software Specification’. (See
Section 2 of this document for full bibliographic information.)
Table 9 Rate Counters
The rate counters are 32 bit
values, which are compressed to 10 bits.
The first 3 rate counters listed are retrieved from FIPS at the end of
each energy/charge (E/q) step (typically 1 second per step). The Stop Events
counter is retrieved periodically and included in the housekeeping data. The fifth, Events Processed, counter is
internal to the EPS processor which, when compared with the Valid Event
counter, shows how many events have been registered in hardware but not
processed in software, due to time limitations. The rate counters are compressed using a
10 bit logarithmic compression code, 5 bits for mantissa and 5 bits for
exponent (5/5 compression).
The Mass Distribution is a histogram of events classified by their
Mass/charge (M/q). All events are included in this data, both
proton and non-proton. The
Mass Distribution data object consists of 128 bins of 24 bit counters
(compressed to 10 bits using the 5/5 compression. Nominally, these 128 bins span 0.9 AMU
to 42 AMU, in a log scale. Bin 0
contains the sum of all events with M/q below the usable range (nominally 0.9
AMU) while bin 127 contains the sum of all events with M/q above the usable
range (nominally 42 AMU). This data
product is accumulated over a full scan sequence (10 scans; taking typically
~670 s in nominal mode).
To find the bin to increment, the
EPPS Flight software uses a lookup table based on the E/q step and the measured
TOF value. This lookup table is generated
in two parts: First, a table of M/q (in AMU/e) as a function of
E/q step and TOF is calculated:
M/q = 2 (kU + |Va|) * TOF 2 / ( d2 * 1040 ns2
keV / cm2 AMU)
where:
k
= deflection system constant, approx 1.33
U=
deflection system voltage, in kV
Va=
post acceleration voltage, in kV
TOF
= the measured Time of Flight, in ns
d
= distance over which TOF is measured, in cm.
Note: This equation does not include a term
for the carbon foil scattering and energy loss, which tends to spread the calculated
M/q values for each species making in flight calculations less precise than is
possible on the ground.
Second, the M/q values are binned
logarithmically across the M/q range (nominally 0.9-42 AMU/e):
Mq_bin = ( log(M/q) –
log(0.9) ) / ( (log(42) – log(0.9))/128 )
The Element Energy Spectra
represent the distribution of events over E/q that fall within a specified M/q
range. There are 5 separate
vectors, each corresponding to a different (commandable) M/q range, called
Energy Vector Ranges. These are
presented as histograms of 64 bins, each a 24 bit counter, compressed to 10
bits using 5/5 compression.
For inclusion in a data packet, the bins for each vector are ordered in
ascending order, 0-63, and the 5 vectors are ordered 1 through 5. This data product is accumulated over a
full scan sequence (10 scans; typically 670 s in nominal mode).
Figure 1 Graphical
depiction of relation among Element Energy Spectra, the Mass Distribution and
the E/q - M/q measurement space.
Note: Not all E/q or M/q bins are depicted.
PHA words contain the
full-capability measurements of single particle events. Each PHA word contains
the TOF, E/q step, and (X, Y) location of the event on the start MCP. is accompanied
by its associated DSHV step number, a 6-bit value. The LSB of the TOF value is dropped, 11
to 10 bit. The X and Y positions
are calculated from the 12 bit Wedge, Strip, and Zigzag data. First commanded offsets are
subtracted from each value then the calculation below is performed:
The 28 bit packet is represented
as follows in the following order:
DS
voltage step [6
bits]
TOF [10
bits]
X = INT(128*Wedge/(Wedge+Strip+ZigZag)) [6
bits]
Y= INT(128*Strip/(Wedge+Strip+ZigZag)) [6
bits]
Since not all PHA words can be
telemetered to the ground, a representative sample is transmitted according to
a buffered, rotating priority scheme.
As events are collected, the flight software stores up to 12 events per
deflection system voltage step in a buffer. At the end of the scan, these events are
read out in voltage step order, one from each voltage step. Within a voltage step, PHAs are read out
in the same order that they were stored.
When no PHA exists for a given voltage step, one is read from the next
voltage step which has PHAs remaining, until the allowed number of PHAs (quota)
for this scan have been selected.
The quota is 128 PHAs per scan for High and Medium priority events. The quota for Low priority events is set
by ground command, with a maximum of 617 PHA words. This scheme has the effect of
downlinking a selection of PHAs which are as evenly distributed across voltage
steps as possible, while still telemetering the full quota of PHA words.
High or Medium priority PHA events
contain the DS voltage step, TOF, X, and Y values. Low priority PHA events
contain the DS voltage step, Wedge, Strip, and ZigZag values. Proton PHA words
are not included and thus never included in the data. The ‘Valid Event’ rate is then
used to calculate the appropriate weight of each transmitted PHA word which
would reconstruct the distribution of actual valid events.
The PHA events are included as part of the FIPS high, medium, or low science packets. As of FSW6 PHA events are also included as part of the FIPS Scan packet. There is only one MET time tag associated with a science packet, even though it may contain multiple PHA events. Thus, the FIPS PHA EDRs will contain multiple records with the same MET timestamp. The maximum number of PHA events with the same MET timestamp is dependent on the priority level of the PHA event. It is possible to narrow the MET time window associated with a set of PHA events by combination of the E/q step number with the stepping rate. See section 5.1.1 for a description of FIPS stepping rate and note that MET timestamps are for the end of the scan. This priority level is assigned based on the priority of the telemetered science packet containing the PHA event. The maximum number of PHA events contained for a particular packet type is shown in the following table:
Table 10 Maximum PHA Events per Packet Type
FIPS Packet Type |
Maximum number of PHA events contained in the packet |
High Priority |
64 |
Medium Priority or FIPS Scan |
128 |
Low Priority |
617 |
Heavy Ion (FSW7) |
617 |
Proton (FSW7) |
1169 |
Note that a given FIPS science packet (which may or may not contain PHA events) is time tagged with one MET time. PHA events are accumulated within an integration period depending on the priority of the given science packet. Each PHA event is time tagged with the same MET associated with the science packet in which it was contained. Thus, there will be a maximum of 64 High Priority events with the same MET, 128 Medium Priority events with the same MET or 617 Low Priority events with the same MET. A given PHA EDR data file will contain the observations obtained on the same earth day and arranged in time order. Therefore a given PHA EDR data file will contain a set of N PHA events with the same MET, followed by another set of PHA events with the same MET, etc.
EDR priority designations have been eliminated with the introduction of FSW7.
Now there are just 2 types of PHA packets – heavy ion and proton.
However, the descriptions given above with regard to the MET time tags and EDR
content still apply.
FIPS is an imaging instrument that
views into a region of solid angle that has conical symmetry and is
bounded by 2 nested cones, with half angles of ~15
and ~75 degrees. The symmetry axis
of the field of view points in the direction of (-0.74324, -0.383558, 0.548158)
in spacecraft coordinates. In the
back plane of the instrument the field of view is mapped onto a Cartesian (X,
Y) coordinate system, with binned elements up to a resolution of 64 x 64. Distributions of the (X, Y) positions
for each PHA represent the distributions of the velocity directions of particle
events. These distributions are
stored as 8 x 8 arrays of counters.
The values X/8 and Y/8 are used as the row and column
within the velocity distribution matrix to give the bin
to be incremented.
Proton Velocity Distribution
This velocity distribution is
calculated for only Proton events once per scan (typically ~65 s in nominal
mode). The first bit in the event
packet delivered by FIPS indicates whether it is a proton event.
Heavy Ion Velocity
Distributions
This set of five velocity
distribution arrays are calculated by including all PHA words in the same M/q
ranges as those of the Element Energy Spectra. One set of these 5 distributions is
produced every scan sequence (10 scans; ~670 s in nominal mode).
There will be an EDR data product
containing the engineering and status information for the EPPS instrument
– the EPPS Status EDR. This data product will consist of an external PDS
label file and its pointer to an ASCII table file. The data product is in ASCII to
facilitate the browsing of instrument status parameters with commonly available
text readers during mission operations.
Note: a FIPS Flight Software
Upload (FSW5) was conducted on Sept 6, 2007 which significantly changed the
format of the EPPS Engineering and Status packet. Instead of changing the EPPS
Engineering and Status EDR it was decided to create a new EDR, called
EPPS_LONG_STATUS, to contain the content of the updated Status packet and
retire the EPPS_STATUS EDR after FSW5.
Therefore the EPPS STATUS EDR
covers the time period from launch to 9/5/2007. The EPPS_LONG_STATUS EDR will
contain the engineering and status information for data collected on or after
9/6/2007.
There will be one EPPS PDS Documentation Archive Volume and one EPPS PDS Data Archive Volume. The data volume will contain level 2 CODMAC(Committee on Data Management and Computation) data products, also known as EDRs. Each product will have a unique file name and conform to the file naming convention in section 6.5. All EDR products will be stored at the Applied Physics Laboratory/Science Operations Center (APL/SOC) during mission operations. Volumes will be electronically transferred to the PDS PPI Node following the procedure in section 5.3.3.
Inputs to the SOC will consist of telemetry in the form of
CCSDS packets. Data downlink is telemetered through NASA’s Deep Space Network
(DSN) managed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, CA, and then
forwarded to APL. Level 1 CODMAC data (spectra, pulse height analysis,
engineering data) is extracted from the telemetry packets and stored online at the SOC. Level 2 CODMAC data (EDRs)
is then generated by the ‘PIPE-EPPS2EDR’ software, which is run automatically
at the SOC.
The EPPS EDR files will be
produced by the MESSENGER Science Operations Center (SOC) operated jointly by
APL and ACT. The ‘PIPE-EPPS2EDR’ software created by
ACT creates the EDR products to the proper PDS labeled format. The EDR data products are made available
to the MESSENGER Science Team for initial evaluation and validation. At the end of the evaluation and
validation period, the data are organized and stored in the directory structure
described in section 6.8 for transmittal to the PPI Node. The transmittal process is described
in the following section, Data Flow. An initial release of the documentation
volume will accompany the initial release of the data volume. Thereafter, there
will be updates to the documentation volume whenever the EPPS team determines
that they have a sufficiently improved calibration to warrant a new release.
PDS will then provide public access to the data products through its online
distribution system. These products
will be used for engineering support, direct science analysis, and construction
of other science products.
The
MESSENGER SOC operates under the auspices of the MESSENGER Project Scientist to
plan data acquisition, generate, and validate data archives. The SOC supports
and works with the MOC, the Science Team, instrument scientists, and the PDS.
Figure 2 MESSENGER Data Flow shows the flow of data within the MESSENGER project and out to PDS. The MOC handles raw data flow to and from the MESSENGER spacecraft and the SOC converts the raw telemetry into EDRs. The Science Team validates the EDRs and notifies the SOC if corrections are needed. Documentation, EDRs, and science products are delivered to the PDS Planetary Plasma Interactions (PPI) node. SPICE kernels are delivered to the PDS Navigation and Ancillary Information (NAIF) node. The delivery process is detailed below.
The MESSENGER SOC will deliver data for the EPPS EDR data volume to the PDS PPI Node in standard product packages. Each package will comprise data and ancillary data files, organized into directory structures consistent with the volume design described in section 6.8. The initial release will also contain the documents and required files for the EPPS documentation volume, organized into directory structures as described in section 6.7. Subsequent releases to the EPPS documentation volume will be at the discretion of the EPPS team and be delivered whenever the EPPS team determines that they have a sufficiently improved calibration to warrant a new release.
The following describes the electronic transfer process of releasing data to PDS for both the data volume and the documentation volume. This process will be implemented for the first PDS delivery. Future data deliveries will be assumed to follow the same process unless otherwise noted in an update of this document. Given the long duration of the mission the project reserves the option of exploring alternate data delivery methods for subsequent deliveries. As such, the method of electronic transfer may change and will be revised accordingly in the SIS. Any changes to the delivery process will be noted in an update to the SIS document and will include the specific dates which will use the new delivery process. The delivery of products to the data volume will follow the schedule in the MESSENGER Data Management and Archiving Plan. The delivery date for updates to the documentation volume will be determined as needed at the discretion of the EPPS team.
In the week prior to the delivery date the directory structure will be compressed into a single “zip archive” file for transmittal to the PDS node. The zip archive preserves the directory structure internally so that it can be recreated after electronic delivery to the PDS node. The zip archive file is transmitted to the PDS node via FTP to an account set up by the receiving node. Also transmitted will be a checksum file created using the MD5 algorithm. This provides an independent method of verifying the integrity of the zip file after it has been sent. Within days of transmittal the PDS node will acknowledge receipt of the archive and checksum file. If acknowledgement is not received, or if problems are reported, the MESSENGER SOC will immediately take corrective action to effect successful transmittal.
After transmittal the PDS node will uncompress the zip archive file and check for data integrity using the checksum file. The node will then perform any additional verification and validation of the data provided and will report any discrepancies or problems to the MESSENGER SOC. It is expected that the node will perform these checks in about two weeks. After inspection has been completed to the satisfaction of the PDS node, the node will issue to the MESSENGER SOC acknowledgement of successful receipt of the data.
Following receipt of a data delivery the PDS node will organize the data into a PDS volume archive structure within its online data system. Newly delivered data will be made available publicly from PDS once accompanying labels and other documentation have been validated.
The PDS label conforms to PDS
version 3.6 standards. For more information about this standard consult the PDS
Standards Reference Document. The label is detached and in a separate PDS label
file. The purpose of the PDS label is to describe the data product and provide
ancillary information about the data product. There is a PDS label file for
every EPPS EDR data file. There is one DATA_SET_ID assigned to the EPPS EDR
data. The EDRs are further grouped into data products and are identified by the
STANDARD_DATA_PRODUCT_ID keyword and the file naming convention, section 6.5. . Example label file
content is shown here for every EDR data product. Note that the data is
contained within a binary table or ASCII table and the details of the table
structure are described by an external ASCII format file (*.FMT). The fields in
each format file are described separately in the Appendix.

The format for the EPS High, Medium, Low PHA PDS Labels are identical in terms of the PDS keywords used. In addition, the format of the PHA_TABLE object is the same for all EPS PHA EDRs. Therefore, only one FORMAT file is used to describe all PHA_TABLE objects. The file naming convention will distinguish whether the EPS PHA EDR contains high, medium, or low priority PHA data.
After the FSW6 upload, the only packet which may contain EPS PHA events is the EPS PHA packet. There is no longer any association with high, medium or low priority as of FSW6 for EPS PHA EDRs. Section 6.5 File Naming Conventions will explain the designation for N/A priority in the filename.

The format for the FIPS High,

used. In addition, the format of
the PHA_TABLE object is the same for all FIPS PHA EDRs. Therefore, only one
FORMAT file is used to describe all PHA_TABLE objects. The file naming convention will
distinguish whether the FIPS PHA EDR contains high, medium, or low priority PHA
data.
After the FSW6 upload, the only
packets which may contain PHA events are the high priority, low priority, and
scan packets (medium priority packets being retired). The file naming
convention will distinguish whether the FIPS PHA EDR contains PHA events
extracted from high or low priority, or
scan packets. This is detailed in Section 6.5.
After the FSW7 upload, the only
packets which may contain PHA events are the Heavy Ion packet and Proton packet
(Scan and Low Priority packets being retired). Because of this the PHA file
naming convention is simplified to show the year, day of year, and the fact
that the file contains PHA events. This is detailed in Section 6.5.

The EPPS EDR data products are constructed according to the data object concepts developed by the PDS. By adopting the PDS format, the data products are consistent in content and organization with other planetary data collections. In the PDS standard, the EDR data file is grouped into objects with PDS labels describing the objects. Each EDR data product consists of two files:
The time fields in the EPPS table objects reference the Mission Elapsed Time (MET). This MET is the spacecraft time in integer seconds that is transmitted to MESSENGER subsystems by the Integrated Electronics Module (IEM). This is referred to by the MESSENGER project as Mission Elapsed Time (MET). MET = 0 is August 3, 2004, at 05:59:16 UTC, which is 1000 seconds prior to the MESSENGER launch. Relativistic effects and circumstances occurring during the mission would result in MET not being a true account of seconds since launch. For this reason the MESSENGER spacecraft clock coefficients file is archived at the PDS Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) Node. This file is used in conjunction with the leapseconds kernel file in order to calculate the conversion between MET and UTC.
The conversion is easily done through the use of SPICE kernels and the CHRONOS Utility. CHRONOS is a utility included with the SPICE package that is distributed by the PDS NAIF node. The SPICE kernels are files that contain the information needed to perform the conversion. Two SPICE kernels are required. One is the Leapseconds Kernel (LSK) and the other is the MESSENGER Spacecraft Clock Kernel (SCLK). The SCLK file is used by CHRONOS to convert between spacecraft clock time and ephemeris time, while the LSK file is used to convert from ephemeris time to UTC time. The CHRONOS utility is self-documenting and the SPICE package itself contains full documentation on each of the utilities (including CHRONOS) and how they are used.
Table 10 lists the computational
assumptions for the geometric and viewing data provided in the PDS label. There
are two coordinate systems in use: 1) the celestial reference system used
for target and spacecraft position and velocity vectors; and 2) the planetary
coordinate system for geometry vectors and target location. The celestial coordinate system is J2000
(Mean of Earth equator and equinox of J2000). The planetary coordinate system
is planetocentric.
Different time series data
products will be provided corresponding to different coordinate systems. These include: inertial celestial (e.g.
J2000), Mercury centered body fixed, Mercury centered magnetospheric, Mercury centered
solar wind, and solar orbital (appropriate for cruise). The detailed definition of
magnetospheric coordinates depend on the orientation of the Hermetian magnetic
dipole and will therefore be updated during the mission.”
Table 11 Computational Assumptions
<> The
mid-point time of observation is used for the geometric
element computations.
<> Label
parameters reflect observed, not true, geometry.
Therefore, light-time and stellar aberration corrections are
used as appropriate.
<> The
inertial reference frame is J2000 (also called EME2000).
<>
Latitudes and longitudes are planetocentric.
<> The
"sub-point" of a body on a target is defined by the surface
intercept of the body-to-target-center vector. This is not
the closest point on the body to the observer.
<>
Distances are in km, speeds in km/sec, angles, in degrees,
angular rates in degrees/sec, unless otherwise noted.
<> Angle
ranges are 0 to 360 degrees for azimuths and local hour
angle. Longitudes range from 0 to 360 degrees
(positive to the East).
Latitudes range from -90 to 90
degrees.
The data are organized following PDS standards and stored on hard disk and an SQL (Structured Query Language) relational database for rapid access during mission operations. The MESSENGER SOC will transfer data to PDS via electronic transfer and delivery methods as detailed in section 5.3.3. After verification of the data transfer PDS will provide public access to MESSENGER science data products through its online data distribution system.
The EPPS EDR data archive volume set will include all data acquired during the MESSENGER mission. The archive validation procedure described in this section applies to data products generated during all post launch phases of the mission. To be clear, there is one and only one documentation volume and one and only one EPPS EDR data archive volume created over the whole mission. Initial releases of both volumes will occur during the first EDR delivery date as stated in the schedule in the MESSENGER Data Management and Archiving Plan. Updates to the data volume will occur according to the same schedule. Updates to the documentation volume will occur at the discretion of the EPPS team.
PDS standards recommend that all data included in the formal archive be validated through a peer-review process. This process is designed to ensure that both the data and documentation are of sufficient quality to be useful to future generations of scientists. The schedule of PDS data deliveries, however, necessitate some modification of the normal PDS review process since it is impractical to convene a review panel to examine the archive volume for every PDS data delivery. The following describes the modified validation process. The process is presented as several steps, most of which occur in the PDS peer review. This peer review is conducted before any volumes are produced and released to PDS.
The peer review panel consists of members of the EPPS team, members of ACT, the PPI node of PDS, and at least one outside scientist actively working in the field of energetic particles research. The PDS personnel are responsible for validating that the volumes are fully compliant with PDS standards. The instrument team, ACT, and outside reviewer(s) are responsible for verifying the content of the data set, the completeness of the documentation, and the usability of the data in its archive format.
The peer review will validate the documentation and data archive volumes via a two step process. First the panel reviews this document and verifies that the volumes and EDRs produced to this specification will be useful. Next the panel reviews the initial release of the data and documentation volumes to verify that the volumes meet this specification and are acceptable. Once automated production begins, software provided by ACT produce a summary of each data product and software provided by the PPI node verifies that all the files required by PDS are present and the files themselves conform to PDS standards. If an error is detected by either of the above programs, the error is corrected, if possible, before the update to the volume is delivered. Otherwise the correction will occur at the next scheduled delivery date. If an error in a data file is uncorrectable, (i.e. an error in the downlink data file) the error is described in the cumulative errata file that is included in the data archive volume.
The peer review will also validate the EPPS EDR data in a two step process. The first step consists of reviewing a sample data set for compliance with the PDS standards. The sample data set is delivered and reviewed in conjunction with delivery and review of this SIS document. The second step is examination of the data to ensure usability and completeness. The PDS personnel will be responsible for validating that the EDR data set is fully compliant with PDS standards. The instrument team, ACT, and the outside science reviewer(s) will be responsible for verifying the content of the data set, the completeness of the documentation, and the usability of the data in its archive format.
Any deficiencies in the archive data or documentation volumes will be recorded as liens against the product by the review panel. The sample data set is created using software provided by ACT. Once the sample data is validated, and all liens placed against the product or product generation software are resolved, the same software will be used to generate subsequent data products in an automated fashion.
Once automated production begins, the data file content will be spot checked by members of the EPPS team. “Quick look” products generated by software provided by ACT and the EPPS team will be produced routinely and examined by members of the team. In addition, the data will be actively used by team members to perform their analysis. Any discrepancies in the data noted during these activities will be investigated. If the discrepancy is a data error, the response will depend on the source of the error. If the error is in the software producing the data product, the error will be corrected and the data affected will be reproduced, replacing the data file. If there is a correctable error in a data file, the file will be replaced. If an error in a data file is uncorrectable, the error will be described in the cumulative errata file included in the archive volume. The structure of data files and labels will be spot checked by the PPI node for compliance with PDS standards and this SIS.
The MESSENGER EPPS EDR data products will be archived at the PDS PPI Node. The EDR data set in the data archive volume is intended to store the data in a form closest to the raw telemetry data received from the spacecraft. The automated production and release of EDRs lends itself to the regular release schedule outlined in the MESSENGER Data Management and Archiving Plan. If errors are discovered the data will be replaced with corrected EDRs on the next scheduled delivery date.
Calibration tables and calibration procedures will be required to properly analyze EDRs. These ancillary data will be archived at the PDS PPI Node as part of the EPPS documentation volume. The documentation volume will also be referenced by the EPPS RDR data archive volume. The documentation volume will therefore include both the EPPS EDR SIS and the EPPS RDR SIS in addition to the calibration tables, calibration procedures, and other documents applicable to either data archive volume. A first release of the EPPS documentation volume will accompany the initial release of the EPPS EDR data archive. The initial release of the documentation volume will only contain EDR level documentation and the parameters derived from the ground calibration tests. After the initial release there will be updates whenever the EPPS team determines that they have a sufficiently improved calibration to warrant a new release.
The possibility exists that errors may be introduced into the archive even with validation procedures applied to the archive volumes. An ERRATA report file is maintained to track and document all discovered uncorrectable errors that may occur during the mission. Correctable errors, such as revised EDRs or EDRs that were missing from a previous PDS delivery will be provided at the next scheduled PDS delivery or at the final delivery date (schedule in the MESSENGER Data Management and Archiving Plan). PDS will then replace the outdated files with the revised EDR files in the data directories of the archive volume. The ERRATA report file is archived in the ROOT directory of the EPPS EDR data volume.
Data is stored in ASCII table
format or in binary table format .
A detached PDS label file will provide a detailed description of the structure
of each table. See section 5.2 for details on which data product contains a binary table or an ASCII
table.

of each field in the individual format files.
The file names developed for PDS data volumes are restricted to a maximum 27 character file name and a 3 character extension name with a period separating the file and extension names. Given this restriction the general form of the EPPS file name for all EDRs except the Status EDR will be “EEEZ_XYYYYDDDAAA_V#.DAT” where:
EEE instrument identifier: represents the EPPS instrument
EPS, EPPS/EPS
FIP, EPPS/FIPS
Z specifies whether the packet contains data taken from the high,
medium, or low priority science packet
H, High Priority
M, Medium Priority
L, Low Priority
The FSW6 upload removed the EPS PHA association with priority
N,
indicates N/A association for EPS PHA EDRs
FIPS PHA EDR data can also be extracted from the FIPS Scan packet:
S, data from Scan packet
FSW7 FIPS PHA EDR data is only extracted from FIPS PHA packets:
P, data from PHA packet (heavy ion or proton)
X specifies whether data contains PHA events, spectra/counts, or
Housekeeping data.
P, PHA events binary data file
S, Spectra binary data file
H, Housekeeping ASCII file
NOTE: The FSW6
upload had the effect of retiring several EDRs and adding new ones. In order to
keep the EEEZ_XYYYYDDDAAA_V#.DAT file naming convention the Z and X characters
are used in conjunction to identify the new EDRs:

V1.DAT"
FIPS HRPVD
EDR:
Z_X= "P_V" Ex.
"FIPS_V2008233EDR V1.DAT"
YYYY four digit year
DDD three digit day of year
AAA specifies whether the data product is an EDR or CDR
V# Version number. The initial version is “V1”. The version number increments to “V2”, “V3”, etc for each successive version of the EDR product that is produced. A new version of the EDR product may be produced as a result of an error in the product or as a result of errors discovered in the product generation process.
.DAT the file extension is dependent on the file type
.DAT, Instrument Data in binary table
.TAB, Spacecraft data in ASCII table
.LBL, Detached PDS label file
Thus, EPSL_P2006001EDR.dat will contain the all the Low Priority PHA events collected by the EPS sensor on Jan 01, 2006, and is an EDR data product.
The EPPS Status EDR has the naming convention “EPPSYYYYDDDAAA_V#.TAB” where:
EPPS designates the file as the Status EDR
file
YYYY four digit year
DDD three digit day of year
AAA specifies whether the product is an
EDR or CDR.
V# Version number. The initial version is “V1”. The version number increments to “V2”, “V3”, etc for each successive version of the EDR product that is produced. A new version of the EDR product may be produced as a result of an error in the product or as a result of errors discovered in the product generation process.
and .TAB is the ASCII table containing the status information.
The EPPS Status EDR is no longer generated on or after 9/6/2007 due to the FSW5 upload; instead use the EPPS_LONG_STATUS EDR for data on or after 9/6/2007. The EPPS Long Status EDR has the naming convention ELONGYYYYDDDAAA_V#.TAB where:
ELONG designates the file as the Long Status EDR file
YYYY four digit year
DDD three digit day of year
AAA specifies whether the product is an EDR or CDR
V# Version number. The initial version is “V1”.
.TAB indicates that the data is stored in an ASCII table.
Two archive volumes are created to archive both the EPPS EDR data and the documentation which will be needed to analyze the EDRs. The first volume is the EPPS Documentation Volume. This documentation volume will contain products related to both the EPPS EDR and RDR data archives. The initial release of the documentation volume will contain only EDR level documentation. RDR documents (such as the RDR SIS and dataset catalog) will be added to the volume at the time of initial release of those datasets. Once all of the EPPS data products are designed and released, the documentation volume will contain the following products:
The second archive volume, designated as the EPPS Data Archive Volume, will contain the EDR data and required files for conforming to PDS volume archive standards. This includes the index files, AAREADME.TXT file, etc. The current best estimate of the data archive volume size is 2.6 GB. This estimate was calculated by the MESSENGER project as part of a data downlink analysis for the entire mission.
The following illustration shows the directory structure
overview for the EPPS documentation volume. This volume will be periodically
updated as knowledge of the instrument, its calibration, and its operation
improve over time. A first release of this volume that includes parameters
derived from ground calibration tests will accompany the initial release of the
EDR data archive. After initial release there will be updates whenever the EPPS
team determines that they have a sufficiently improved calibration to warrant
the update. Note that in some
deliveries, the products that belong in a particular directory may not yet be
available. If a directory has no products in a particular delivery, it will not
appear in the archive directory tree. Empty directories will not be delivered.

Figure 4 Data Volume Directory Structure
<ROOT>
Directory
This is
the top-level directory of a volume. The following are files contained in the
root directory.
AAREADME.TXT - General information file. Provides users with
an overview of the contents and organization of the associated volume, general
instructions for its use, and contact information.
VOLDESC.CAT -
PDS file containing the VOLUME object. This gives a high-level description of
the contents of the volume. Information includes: production date, producer
name and institution, volume ID, etc.
ERRATA.TXT - Text file for identifying and describing
errors and/or anomalies found in the current volume, and possibly previous
volumes of a set. Any known errors for the associated volume will be documented
in this file. This includes revised
EDRs meant to replace EDRs in a previous PDS delivery.
<DATA>
Directory
This top level
directory contains the EDR data products. Directly underneath the <DATA>
directory are subdirectories corresponding to the standard data products
(section 5.2). The
directories are further subdivided into YEAR and MONTH directories.
<GEOMETRY>
Directory
This
subdirectory contains information about the files (e.g. SPICE kernels, etc)
needed to describe the observation geometry for the data.
GEOMINFO.TXT : Identifies
and describes the SPICE kernels that a user must have in order to determine
observation geometry for the data. The SPICE kernel files are archived with the
PDS NAIF node.
<INDEX>
Directory
This
subdirectory contains the indices for all data products on the volume. The following files are contained in the
index subdirectory.
INDXINFO.TXT – Identifies and describes the function
of each file in the index subdirectory.
This includes a description of the structure and contents of each index
table in the subdirectory AND usage notes.
INDEX.TAB - The EDR index file is organized as a table:
there is one entry for each of the data files included in the EPPS data set;
the columns contain parameters that describe the observation and instrument and
spacecraft parameters. These parameters include state information, such as
integration time, spacecraft clock count, time of observation, and instrument
modes.
INDEX.LBL - Detached PDS label for INDEX.TAB. It contains
the INDEX_TABLE object which identifies and describes the columns of the EPPS
index table.
MD5.TAB - The MD5 checksum file that contains MD5 hash values for every
file in the volume.
MD5.LBL - Detached PDS label for MD5.TAB.
<LABEL>
Directory
This
subdirectory contains the “label fragments” (i.e., the *.FMT files) for all data products on the
volume. These format files describe
the table and data objects which store the data.
The MESSENGER EPPS data and volume archives will be transferred from the SOC to the PDS PPI Node using the electronic transfer process detailed in section 5.3.3. The SPICE kernels will be electronically transferred to the NAIF node. The transfer will take place according to the schedule in the MESSENGER Data Management and Archiving Plan.
Table 12 PDS Delivery Schedule – REMOVED (refer to MESSENGER Data Management and Archiving Plan)
The following are the fields as
defined by the EPSHIGH.FMT structure file. This file defines the binary table
containing the EPS High Priority spectra data. Archive volume is optimized by
defining the table structure once and providing a reference to it in the PDS
label file. The fields are numbered according to their column order in the
table. Data_Type refers to the PDS
standards data type for a particular column in the table.
The FSW6 upload was done on
8/18/2008 and implemented on 8/19/2008. The software update retired the EPS
High Priority Spectra packet. Thus there are no EPS Hi Spectra EDRs on or after
8/19/2008.

The following are the fields as
defined by the EPSHI_HK.FMT structure file. This file defines the ASCII table
containing the EPS Housekeeping data (taken from EPS High Priority Science
Packet). Archive volume is optimized by defining the table structure once and
providing a reference to it in the PDS label file. The fields are numbered
according to their column order in the table. Data_Type refers to the PDS
standards data type for a particular column in the table.
The FSW6 upload was done on

High Priority Spectra packet which also contained the high priority
housekeeping data. Thus there are no EPS Housekeeping EDRs on or after

Computer due to multiple hits.
Accumulation period is N1.
The following are the fields as
defined by the EPS_PHA.FMT structure file. This file defines the binary table
containing the EPS Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) event data. The FSW6 upload
resulted in changing the EPS PHA data format. It was decided to merge the new
format with the previously existing format rather than create an entirely new
EDR.
Prior to FSW6 the EPS PHA data
could be one of four types: Electron PHA event, Low Energy Ion PHA event, High
Energy Ion PHA event, Diagnostic PHA event. After FSW6 there are no separate
event types.
There are some common fields for
the PHA formats pre and post FSW6, however other fields may be unique. Fields
added as a result of FSW6 are INT_TIME, INT_TIME_MULTI, and ENERGY_BIN. The EPS
PHA binary table will contain all the possible fields that may be populatedes
and will include a “Not Applicable” value when appropriate. Archive volume is optimized by defining
the table structure once and providing a reference to it in the PDS label file.
The fields are numbered according to their column order in the table. Data_Type
refers to the PDS standards data type for a particular column in the table.

The following are the fields as
defined by the FIPS_HI.FMT structure file. This file defines the binary table
containing the FIPS High Priority data. Archive volume is optimized by defining
the table structure once and providing a reference to it in the PDS label file.
The fields are numbered according to their column order in the table. Data_Type
refers to the PDS standards data type for a particular column in the table.
The FSW5 upload was implemented on
9/6/2007. As a result the FIPS High Priority EDR format was updated to include
two additional columns: FIPS_SCANTYPE and STOP_RATE. The values for these two
columns are N/A prior to 9/6/2007.
FIPS High Priority EDRs are no
longer generated on or after 8/18/2009 due to the FSW7 upload.

The following are the fields as
defined by the FIPS_HK.FMT structure file. This file defines the ASCII table
containing the FIPS Housekeeping data (taken from FIPS High Priority Science
Packet). Archive volume is optimized by defining the table structure once and
providing a reference to it in the PDS label file. The fields are numbered
according to their column order in the table. Data_Type refers to the PDS
standards data type for a particular column in the table.
As of the FSW5 upload on 9/6/2007

The following are the fields as
defined by the FIPS_MED.FMT structure file. This file defines the binary table
containing the FIPS Medium Priority spectra data. Archive volume is optimized
by defining the table structure once and providing a reference to it in the PDS
label file. The fields are numbered according to their column order in the
table. Data_Type refers to the PDS standards data type for a particular column
in the table.
This EDR is retired after the FSW6
upload on 8/18/2008. As a result there are no FIPS Medium EDRs created on or
after 8/19/2008.

The following are the fields as
defined by the FIPS_PHA.FMT structure file. This file defines the binary table
containing the FIPS Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) event data.
A FSW5 upload was implemented on
9/6/2007. As a result the FIPS PHA EDR format has been updated to include an
additional column, FIPS_SCANTYPE. The values for this column are N/A prior to
9/6/2007.
A FSW7 upload on 8/18/2009 created
the FIPS Proton PHA packet. It is necessary to include the proton hardware
decimation value in order to analyze proton PHA events but there was a need to
keep the same number of columns and byte lengths as in EDRs prior to 8/18/2009.
Thus, column 3 now stores either the priority decimation value or the priority
level of the PHA data, depending on whether the EDR is pre or post-FSW7.

The following SPICE kernel files will be used to compute the UTC time and any geometric quantities found in the PDS labels. Kernel files will be generated throughout the mission with a filenaming convention specified by the MESSENGER project.
*.bsp:
MESSENGER spacecraft ephemeris file. Also known as the Planetary Spacecraft
Ephemeris Kernel (SPK) file.
*.bc:
Messenger spacecraft orientation file. Also known as the Attitude C-Kernel (CK) file.
*.tf:
MESSENGER reference frame file. Also known as the Frames Kernel. Contains the MESSENGER spacecraft, science instrument, and communications antennae frame definitions.
*.ti:
MESSENGER instrument kernel (I-kernel). Contains references to mounting alignment, operation modes, and timing as well as internal and field of view geometry for the EPPS.
*.tsc:
MESSENGER spacecraft clock coefficients file. Also known as the Spacecraft Clock Kernel (SCLK) file.
*.tpc:
Planetary constants file. Also
known as the Planetary Constants Kernel (PcK) file.
*.tls:
NAIF leapseconds kernel file. Used
in conjunction with the SCLK kernel to convert between Universal Time
Coordinated (UTC) and MESSENGER Mission Elapsed Time (MET). Also called the
Leap Seconds Kernel (LSK) file.
Table 31 CODMAC/NASA Definition of processing levels for science data sets
CODMAC
Level |
Proc.
Type |
Data
Processing Level Description |
1 |
Raw Data |
Telemetry data stream as received at
the ground station, with science and engineering data embedded. Corresponds
to NASA packet data. |
2 |
Edited Data |
Instrument science data (e.g. raw
voltages, counts) at full resolution, time ordered, with duplicates and
transmission errors removed. Referred to in the MESSENGER program as Experiment Data Records (EDRs).
Corresponds to NASA Level 0 data. |
3 |
Calibrated Data |
Edited data that are still in units
produced by instrument, but have transformed (e.g. calibrated, rearranged) in
a reversible manner and packaged with needed ancillary and auxiliary data
(e.g. radiances with calibration equations applied). Referred to in the
MESSENGER Program as Calibrated Data Records (CDRs). In some cases these also
qualify as derived data products (DDRs). Corresponds to NASA Level 1A. |
4 |
Resampled data |
Irreversibly transformed (e.g.
resampled, remapped, calibrated) values of the instrument measurements (e.g.
radiances, magnetic field strength). Referred to in the MESSENGER program as
either derived data products (DDPs) or derived analysis products (DAPs).
Corresponds to NASA Level 1B. |
5 |
Derived Data |
Derived results such as maps, reports,
graphics, etc. Corresponds to NASA Levels 2 through 5 |
6 |
Ancillary Data |
Non-Science data needed to generate
calibrated or resampled data sets. Consists of instrument gains, offsets;
pointing information for scan platforms, etc. |
7 |
Corrective Data |
Other science data needed to interpret
space-borne data sets. May include ground based data observations such as
soil type or ocean buoy measurements
of wind drift. |
8 |
User Description |
Description of why the data were
required, any peculiarities associated with the data sets, and enough
documentation to allow secondary user to extract information from the data. |
The above
is based on the national research council committee on data management and
computation (CODMAC) data levels.
