END_OBJECT = TEXT END This subdirectory contains the catalog object files for the entire volume. The following files are included in the catalog subdirectory. CATINFO.TXT: Description of the contents of this directory (this file). EPPSEPSDATASET.CAT: Describes the general content of the EPS uncalibrated data set and includes information about the duration of the mission and the person or group responsible for producing the data. EPPSFIPSDATASET.CAT: Describes the general content of the FIPS uncalibrated data set and includes information about the duration of the mission and the person or group responsible for producing the data. EPPSEPSDATASET_CDR.CAT: Describes the general content of the EPS calibrated data set and includes information about the duration of the mission and the person or group responsible for producing the data. EPPSFIPSDATASET_CDR.CAT: Describes the general content of the FIPS calibrated data set and includes information about the duration of the mission and the person or group responsible for producing the data. NOTE: The DATASET.CAT catalog has been replicated as four seperate catalog files, EPPSEPSDATASET.CAT, EPPSFIPSDATASET.CAT, EPPSEPSDATASET_CDR.CAT, and EPPSFIPSDATASET_CDR.CAT. The files EPPSEPSDATASET.CAT and EPPSFIPSDATASET.CAT are essentially identical, as are the files EPPSEPSDATASET_CDR.CAT and EPPSFIPSDATASET_CDR.CAT, but each has a different data set id, one for the EPS detector and one for the FIPS detector. INSTRUMENT.CAT: Describes physical attributes of the EPPS instrument and provides relevant references to published literature. INSTHOST.CAT: Describes the MESSENGER spacecraft. MISSION.CAT: Describes the scientific goals and objectives of the MESSENGER program. PERSON.CAT: Lists and provides contact information for the people involved in the MESSENGER mission, including those involved with EPPS. REF.CAT: Provides references to scientific papers and other publications of interest to those using the data, both for EPPS and the mission as a whole.
