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: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.
