During the course of the MSL mission the RAD 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. Section A of this file contains an entry for each MSL 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 A ******** RELEASE NUMBER: 8 RELEASE DATE: 2015-03-16 DATA COVERAGE: 2014-08-03 to 2014-11-10 (Sols 708-804) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: RAD RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None RELEASE NUMBER: 7 RELEASE DATE: 2014-12-05 DATA COVERAGE: 2014-03-28 to 2014-08-03 (Sols 584-707) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: RAD RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None RELEASE NUMBER: 6 RELEASE DATE: 2014-08-01 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-11-10 to 2014-03-28 (Sols 450-583) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: RAD RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None RELEASE NUMBER: 5 RELEASE DATE: 2014-03-17 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-08-10 to 2013-11-10 (Sols 360-449) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: RAD RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None Timing errors similar to those mentioned in the errata for Releases 1, 2 and 3 also exist in Release 5. No other errata are reported for this release. RELEASE NUMBER: 4 RELEASE DATE: 2013-12-13 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-05-09 to 2013-08-10 (Sols 270-359) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: RAD RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None Timing errors similar to those mentioned in the errata for Releases 1, 2 and 3 also exist in Release 4. No other errata are reported for this release. RELEASE NUMBER: 1, 2, and 3 RELEASE DATE: 2013-08-30 DATA COVERAGE: 2011-324 to 2013-081 (Sols 0-269) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: RAD RDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None Timing errors have been found in about 20 percent of the RDR data files. An ASCII file (TIMING_ERRORS.TXT) describing some of these errors is in the present volume in the DOCUMENT directory. The RAD team plans to correct these errors and to re-release the data in a future release. Due to errors related to the timing issues (see above), the data in the file RAD_RDR_2013_123_21_52_0222_V00.TXT are redundant. The same data are in the file RAD_RDR_2013_081_04_32_0222_V00.TXT. Only the file header lines are different. ******** SECTION B ******** This section is provided for general notes concerning the archive as a whole. Some documents in this archive appear in Portable Document Format (PDF) files. PDF files can be read using free software available at www.adobe.com. PDS requires that a PDF document be accompanied by an ASCII text version; however, this has not been done for some PDF files in this archive because the documents contain figures, tables, equations, or other content that cannot be rendered as ASCII text. HTML is sometimes used as an alternative to plain ASCII, but in this case suitable HTML versions that captured all the content of the PDF could not be created.
