This data set contains the complete set of Mariner 6 far-encounter photometric photographs on an IBM 360, binary magnetic tape. Each file contains a single picture, and each record in a file corresponds to a line of TV pictures. A picture element is written in binary as an eight-bit byte. Preceding the binary picture data of each file are several label records written in EBCDIC. These records, which contain five 72-byte logical records each, provide information such as the number of lines and samples in the following file, picture identification, and a history of the computer processing to which the picture has been subjected. Documentation that describes the genesis and scaling of the numerical photometric data is available in hardcopy and is sent to requesters along with the tape.
