PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = "STREAM" OBJECT = TEXT PUBLICATION_DATE = 2012-08-01 NOTE = "AAREADME file for the Apollo 16 Metric Camera Data Set" END_OBJECT = TEXT END Introduction ============= This data set contains high-resolution scanned data for the Apollo 16 usable Metric Camera frames. The data are presented as 16-bit TIFF formatted files. The original frames were collected from 20 April 1972 through 24 April 1972. As of the publication of this archive, the film negatives are in storage at the Johnson Space Center (JSC). As of the publication of this archive, processed versions of these images (ISIS cube format) and additional browse images are available at: http://apollo.sese.asu.edu/. Volume Format ============= This volume has been formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 2 Interchange Standard for directories and file names. File Formats ============ All text documents and other meta information files such as descriptions, PDS object definitions and detached PDS labels are stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record. This allows the files to be read by various operating systems. Volume Contents =============== Files on this volume are organized into a set of subdirectories below the top-level directory. The following table shows the structure and content of these directories. In the table, directory names are enclosed in square brackets ([]). See the *INFO.TXT files in some directories for specific information on the files in that directory. In the directory descriptions below, "usable" refers to images considered usable by the Apollo mission teams.
