During the course of the MESSENGER mission the EPPS science team may update previously released data products or documentation; for example, updates may occur due to changes in calibration data or procedures. Updates may be reported in this file. 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 A ******** RELEASE NUMBER: 16 RELEASE DATE: 2017-05-12 PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: Calibration files No new FIPS CDR data files were released in Release 16. However, some new calibration files were added to the CALIB directory, and the labels and format file of some older calibration files were updated. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 15 RELEASE DATE: 2016-05-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2004-08-16 to 2015-04-30 (Launch, Earth Cruise, Earth Flyby, 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: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR. 1. No EPPS data were collected during the Venus 1 Flyby phase. 2. All FIPS CDR products were redelivered, except those for which the FIPS instrument was not in its nominal orbit configuration. The nominal orbit configuration was generally used during orbit operations and during portions of the cruise. CDRs from when FIPS was not in its nominal orbit configuration are final as of release 14 are not included in release 15. 3. This is the final release for this volume which includes a complete redelivery of all calibrated data products, except as described above. These have been reprocessed using the final SPICE parameters and all final calibrations and corrections, as applicable. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 14 RELEASE DATE: 2015-10-09 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-01-01 to 2015-04-30 (Mercury Orbit Year 2, Mercury Orbit Year 3, Mercury Orbit Year 4, Mercury Orbit Year 5) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR. Notes: No known errors or variances. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 13 RELEASE DATE: 2015-03-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2014-03-18 to 2014-09-17 (Mercury Orbit Year 4) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None. EPS Scan products between 2014-078 and 2014-083 as well as between 2014-246 and 2014-254 do not exist in this archive due to data gaps in the source EDR volume. Modified the EDR SIS document "EPPS_EDR_SIS" to remove reference to unused .CSV files and change occurrences of "experimental" to "experiment" in reference to EDRs. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 12 RELEASE DATE: 2014-09-05 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-09-18 to 2014-03-17 (Mercury Orbit Year 3) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: FIPS CDR 1. Previously delivered FIPS CDRs were regenerated for this release to apply an extensive revision of FIPS efficiencies. These efficiencies incorporate in-flight from the orbital mission as well as ground calibration data. This release represents a significant improvement in the calibration of these CDR values. The regenerated products include FIPP_P(PHAs) from 2011084 - 2014076 and FIPS_R(Rates) from 2011082 - 2014076 2. The following files that one might expect to find in this archive do not exist due to data gaps in the source EDR volume: FIPP_P2011092 FIPS_R2011092 FIPP_P2011093 FIPS_R2011093 FIPP_P2011094 FIPP_P2011095 FIPP_P2011096 FIPP_P2011141 FIPS_R2011141 FIPP_P2011142 FIPS_R2011142 FIPP_P2011143 FIPS_R2011143 FIPP_P2012005 FIPP_P2012068 FIPP_P2012108 FIPS_R2012108 FIPP_P2012109 FIPS_R2012109 FIPP_P2012110 FIPS_R2012110 FIPP_P2012111 FIPS_R2012111 3. Added the FIPS FIPA_F*.TAB files and associated labels to the CALIBRATION directory. 4. The EPPS_CDR_SIS and EPPS_FIPS_EDR2CDR documents are updated to include information about the FIPS FIPA_F* calibration files and further discussion about FIPS calibration. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 11 RELEASE DATE: 2014-03-07 DATA COVERAGE: 2013-03-18 to 2013-09-17 (Mercury Orbit Year 3) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None. Notes: No known errors or variances. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 10 RELEASE DATE: 2013-09-06 DATA COVERAGE: 2012-09-18 to 2013-03-17 (Mercury Orbit Year 2) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None.

Previously delivered CDR products in the FIPS_HI_SPECTRA, FIPS_MED_SPECTRA, and FIPS_SCAN directories were reprocessed and are redelivered in this release. The version numbers in their file names are incremented. 2. Some new FIPS_HI_SPECTRA CDR products were created from data collected in 2004. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 7 RELEASE DATE: 2012-03-15 DATA COVERAGE: 2011-05-18 to 2011-09-17 (Mercury Orbit) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None. 1. Multiple versions (*V1.TAB AND *V2.TAB) of FIPS CDRs both been delivered to PDS in Delivery 6. This was a mistake. In all cases where V1 and V2 files for the same product exist, the V2 files supersede the V1 files. The V1 files should be removed from the archive or disregarded. 2. FIPS CDRs from 2009 DOY 293 - 2010 DOY 041 which have a filename of *V2.TAB are redelivered to PDS. These were created due to additional data being downloaded from the SSR. 3. FIPS and EPS CDRs from 2011-DOY 063 to DOY137 are redelivered to PDS. They have *V2 in the filename. PRODUCT_VERSION_ID in the associated labels indicate V2. These files are new versions generated to fix the Mercury Local Time values. 4. The updated PRODUCT_CREATION_TIMES for FIPS CDRs prior to 2009 DOY 293 should be disregarded. They was due to a software design which tied CDR regeneration to directory structure. This has been fixed for future releases. 5. The following files are updated/replaced for delivery 7: CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE001.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE002.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE003.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE004.GIF 6. The following files are deleted from the MESSENGER document archive: CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE005.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE006.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE007.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE008.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE009.GIF CALIBRATION/IMAGES/IMAGE010.GIF -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 6 RELEASE DATE: 2011-09-15 DATA COVERAGE: 2009-10-15 2011-05-17 (Mercury 4 Cruise, Mercury Orbit) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None. 1. An error in the DESCRIPTION field of the DATA_QUALITY object in the FIPS_PHA_CDR.FMT and FIPS_SCAN_CDR.FMT has been corrected. The indicators for good (0) and bad (1) were reversed in the earlier versions of these files. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- RELEASE NUMBER: 5 RELEASE DATE: 2010-03-15 DATA COVERAGE: 2008-10-21 to 2009-10-14 (Mercury 3 Cruise, Mercury 3 Flyby) PRODUCT TYPES RELEASED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: EPPS CDR PRODUCT TYPES UPDATED FOR THIS ARCHIVE: None.
