Catalog: Odyssey
The Odyssey catalog contains data from the THEMIS and GRS instruments from the Mars Odyssey mission.
Table:THEMIS_VIS
Data from the Thermal Emission Imaging System (THEMIS) on Odyssey. Observation and geometry parameters for the THEMIS visible images. All geometry parameters are based on the IAU 2000 aerocentric model, with east positive longitude. The parameters are extracted for first band available (i.e. listed first in the BAND_NUMBER value.) Geometry parameters are not available for observations of the IR shutter or space.
