WP9: Databases (Research and technological development)

Objectives

WP 9 on Databases (DB) aims at setting up standard public reservoirs for the data issued from the other WPs: astrometric data, rotation data, topography, ephemeris SPICE kernels.

Description of work

Task 9.1 : Astrometric database

feeding NSDB with WP 6 data. Caried out by IMCCE.

Task 9.2 : Rotation database

collecting setting up rotation data and setting up in standard format from task 7.6. Carried out by TUB and IMCCE

Task 9.3 : SPC kernels

collecting SPC data from WP 8 (tasks 8.3, 8.8.6, 8.9) and transforming in SPICE format. Carried out by IMCCE

Task 9.4 : SAT kernels

Collecting SAT data from WP 8 (tasks 8.4, 8.7, 8.10) and transforming in SPICE format. Carried out by IMCCE

Task 9.5 : Map images

Satellite image maps will be produced using image data from the early and recent space missions. Coordinate systems and reference models of WP 7 will be used. Emphasis will be placed on geometric accuracy of the maps for use in planning of future missions. Products may include maps of the Moon, Phobos, or satelllites of Jupiter and Saturn. Data products will be placed in public standard reservoirs and released via IDIS (tasks 10.4 and 10.8). Carried out by TUB

Task 9.6 : RS data

Collecting RS data from WP 2 and transforming in standard format. Carried out by IMCCE

Task 9.7 : Topography

Topographic maps will be produced using stereo image data from the early and recent space missions. Coordinate systems and reference models of WP 7 will be used. Emphasis will be placed on geometric accuracy of the topographic models for use in planning of future missions. Products may include topographic maps of the Moon or the satelllites of Jupiter and Saturn. Data products will be placed in public standard reservoirs and released via IDIS (task 10.5 and 10.7). Carried out by TUB.
