PDS ARCHIVED SPICE KERNELS
PDS ARCHIVED SPICE KERNEL DATASETS
The ESA SPICE Service creates an official, peer reviewed archive of the ESA missions SPICE data sets and stores them into the ESA's Planetary Science Archive (PSA). There, the archived SPICE data are available to anyone interested. The archive for each mission can be found here:
Mission | Standard | Link to Archive | DOI |
---|---|---|---|
ExoMars 2016 | PDS4 | em16_spice | 10.5270/esa-kfjsoi9 |
BepiColombo | PDS4 | Coming soon | 10.5270/esa-m4c8r20 |
Mars-Express | PDS3 | 10.5270/esa-i4gla0f | |
Rosetta | PDS3 | 10.5270/esa-1dfi4i7 | |
Venus-Express | PDS3 | 10.5270/esa-n7dft1w |
To cite SPICE data produced by the ESA SPICE Service in your publications please use the DOIs indicated in the table.
For each mission the kernels and associated descriptive information are provided as a single PDS data set. These are accumulating PDS data sets. For SPICE users who don't need the most recent flight operations kernels, acquiring these archived kernels using the PDS SPICE Archives link above is by far the best approach. This way you'll be sure to get the entire collection of archived kernels available as of the current archive date.
