Instrument documentation
 

Each Solar Orbiter instrument provides a Data Product Description Document (DPDD), which describes the data and the metadata given inside the data files.
Some instruments also provide data release reports, usage guides or detailed metadata standard used.

STIX - SPECTROMETER TELESCOPE FOR IMAGING X-RAYS

STIX observations re-requested 

Some STIX observations have been re-requested from the spacecraft to adjust the resolution (spectral & temporal) with respect to the originally downlinked file. These re-requests are therefore different versions of already existing products, and so are given an additional '-sup1' or -sup2' to the descriptor. The original files and reasons for the re-request are given in this CSV file: supplement_report_20230517.csv
