This data set is on B/W microfiche supplied by the Orbiter Imaging Team. The microfiche cards are in COSATI format with 60 images per card. The top row of each card contains descriptive information such as (1) spacecraft identification and sequence number, (2) gray scale control, (3) resolution control frame, (4) first and last picno's on the card, and (5) any MTIS target frames that may have accompanied the images on the card. The images are arranged by picno and version. The primary mission is on cards 1-164 with approach science sequences 168C09-170C49 on cards 1-3 and revs 003A01-136A34 on cards 4-164. The extended mission is on cards 165-312 which contain revs 175A08-398A48. The continuation mission is on cards 313-527, and contain revs 400A01-618A56. The primary mission ended when the communications link between Mars and earth was degraded and temporarily lost due to solar conjunction. This explains the gap in the revs between the primary and extended mission. All the cards contain 2 versions per image except cards 4-36 which have 3 versions per image. Microfiche quality is sufficient for ordering individual images; however, it is not intended for scientific analysis.
