During the course of the MESSENGER mission the MAG science team may update previously released data products or documentation; for example, updates may occur due to changes in calibration data or procedures. Updates will be reported in this file. Older versions of data and documentation will not be retained in the archive. Section A of this file contains an entry for each MESSENGER release with general information about the contents of the release, in order from newest to oldest. Updates to previously released files are reported in these entries, along with any known errata. Section B of this file contains general notes, if any, concerning the archive as a whole. Section B also contains notes that do not accompany a particular release. ******** SECTION A ******** RELEASE NUMBER: 15 RELEASE DATE: 2016-05-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2004-08-12 to 2015-04-30 (Launch, Earth Cruise, Earth Flyby, Venus 1 Cruise, Venus 1 Flyby, Venus 2 Cruise, Venus 2 Flyby, Mercury 1 Cruise, Mercury 1 Flyby, Mercury 2 Cruise, Mercury 2 Flyby, Mercury 3 Cruise, Mercury 3 Flyby, Mercury 4 Cruise, Mercury Orbit, Mercury Orbit Year 2, Mercury Orbit Year 3, Mercury Orbit Year 4, Mercury Orbit Year 5) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MAG RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: All RDRs REASON FOR UPDATES: N/A All products have been regenerated and now have product version number V08. V08 supersedes all previous versions. This is the final release for this volume which includes a complete redelivery of all reduced data products. These have been reprocessed using the final SPICE parameters, all final calibrations and corrections, as applicable with the following exceptions: The MBF and MSO data for the year 2006 were not included in this release. These data were in the dataset until release 15, at which time they were superseded and removed from the dataset. These data had little physical significance because they came from a pre-Mercury instrument checkout period but were expressed in Mercury-based coordinates. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 14 RELEASE DATE: 2015-10-09 Notes: No RDR delivery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 13 RELEASE DATE: 2015-03-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-03-18 to 2014-03-17 (Mercury Orbit Year 3) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MAG RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MAG RDR REASON FOR UPDATES: N/A 1. Reprocessed RDRs based on delivery 12 EDR/CDR regeneration which addressed issues with duplicate telemetry packet handling and data gaps 2. Labels are revised to incorporate consistent data set id in this redelivery. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 11 RELEASE DATE: 2014-03-07 DATA COVERAGE: 2012-03-26 to 2013-03-17 (Mercury Orbit Year 2) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MAG RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None REASON FOR UPDATES: N/A No known errors or variances. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 9 RELEASE DATE: 2013-03-08 DATA COVERAGE: 2004-08-03 to 2012-03-25 (through Mercury Orbit) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: MAG RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None REASON FOR UPDATES: N/A Some PDS labels erroneously contain undetermined data quality flags. In these cases please refer to the data confidence level note for the correct data quality flag. ******** SECTION B ******** This section is provided for general notes concerning the archive as a whole. It also contains notes that do not accompany a particular release. 2014-11-17 It was discovered that in previous versions of this dataset the data labels listed incorrect DATA_SET_IDs for several of the data products. This has been corrected. The data itself remains unchanged. Note on the MD5.TAB files in the PDS archive of these data: Because of recent changes in some files (particularly text files), the MD5 checksums for those files may differ from the ones listed in MD5.TAB.
