HiRISE: HiCat Data Dictionary HiRISE.Cycle

HiCat Data Dictionary

Catalog: 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.
Table:Cycle_map: This table maps cycle identifiers to various other time related ranges such as orbit ranges, dates, or L_S. Note: This table is currently a stop gap measure to allow some automated procedures to gather cycle information. It is likely that the structure of this table may change in the future and some fields will probably be moved/removed. It is highly likely that the L_S range will be removed.

Field	Description	Type	Null	Key	Default	Source
ID	The cycle number. Note: Since the cycles are already identified by an integer value, the ID field is the integer value for the cycle, this is not an autoincrement field like most of the other tables in the database.	INT(5)	Not Null	Primary Key		State File
HITS	The targeting specialist for this cycle.	VARCHAR(25)				HiTS
CIPP	The Co-I of the Pay Period for this cycle.	VARCHAR(25)				CIPP
START_ORBIT	The orbit the cycle begins executing on.	INT(10)				State File
END_ORBIT	The orbit the cycle completes execution.	INT(10)				State File
STAND_DOWN_CYCLE	A value of 1 in this fields indicates that the cycle in question is a "stand down cycle" where HiRISE will not be active.	TINYINT(1)	Not Null		0	Cycle Editing Tool
CONFIRMED	A value of zero in this field indicates that the information in the record is preliminary, and subject to being updated as more cycle information becomes available. A value of 1 indicates that the information has been confirmed, most likely by a HiTS.	TINYINT(1)				Cycle Editing Tool
DEADLINE	The WTH submission deadline for the cycle	DATETIME				STaR
NOTES	Cycle related notes.	TEXT				STaR
LAST_UPDATE	The date and time a record was last updated.	TIMESTAMP				DB Server
