HiCat Data Dictionary

HiRISE

The main HiRISE catalog contains all the information used in operating the HiRISE camera after it is attached to the MRO spacecraft. The information is divided into those related to suggesting, planning, commanding, retrieving, processing, validating, and distributing the observations. The tag that follows an observation through all these catalogs (and from Earth to Mars and back) is the unique Observation_ID. This text representation also forms the core of the product names. The HiRISE catalog also contains ancillary information needed in various uplink and downlink activities, such as the people making image suggestions, MRO project uplink files, SPICE and engineering data, and public image releases.
Group:Suggested and Planned Observations
Table:Suggested_Observations
Stores information about the suggested locations to image. Includes all desired parameters specified by suggestors, such as the geographic position, the minimum image area, the desired viewing geometry, the need for color and/or stereo observations, and seasonal constraints. Also includes suggestion history information such as who, when, and why the suggestion was made, and includes a suggestion priority level specified by a Co-I.
Table:Suggested_Observations_GIS
This table stores suggestion geometry information using MySQL's geospatial datatypes. This data must be kept in a table separate from the rest of the suggestion information due to certian limitations on how these datatypes are stored in the database.
Table:Suggestion_Relations
This table defines relations between suggestions. The table specifies a relation type, and an optional hypothesis field which can be used to store a hypothesis for an imaging program.
Table:Related_Suggestions_map
This table relates individual suggestion id's to a relation id in the Suggestion_Relations table.
Table:Special_Target_Categories

Table:Special_Target_Requests

Table:Special_Target_Categories_map
Table:Suggested_Observations_Science_Themes_map
This table connects Suggested Observations with Science Themes.
Table:Planned_Observations
Holds information about parameters of planned observations. The parameters in this table are organized at the observation level. Parameters at the CCD level are stored in the Planned_CCD table. The values of these two tables will be manipulated (insert, update, and delete) by HiPlan, and HiCommand will retrieve the parameter values in these two tables to generate command files. HiCommand will also input some flag values back into this table, such as the various COMMAND_FILE_* fields. HiDOG will also input observation SUCCESS_ACQUIRED_TIME back into this table. This table is related to the Suggested_Observations table by the mapping table Suggested_Observations_Planned_Observations_map, and is related to the Sequence_Plan table by the mapping table ?, and related to most of other tables by Observation_ID.
Table:Suggested_Observations_Planned_Observations_map

The tag definitions are stored in a PVL style configuration file located at /HiRISE/?????? in the HiRISE logical file system. Note: This table definition is only a draft at this time, it is not currently available in HiCat.
