This collection consists of the Experiment Data Records (EDRs) for the approximately 38000 images obtained by the Voyager 1 TV experiment, stored magnetic tapes. The EDRs consist of unprocessed (raw) instrument data in VICAR format. Each image file consists of 33 blocks, containing 32000 bytes per block. Each block is composed of 25 logical records of 1280 bytes each. The first three logical records of the first block contain a label. The label is followed by 800 logical records (one per image line) containing pixel and engineering data.
Details of the data set are provided by Martin et al., "Planetary Image Conversion Task: Final Report," JPL Publication 85-50, 1985, which is available at NSSDC. This publication includes the only catalog currently available for the collection. The catalog lists images by FDS count, a spacecraft event time, against tape/file position. For this reason, it is necessary to be able to identify the FDS counts of interest before placing an order.
