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: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.

PRIORITY_OVERALL Overall priority given to the image suggestion by the suggestor. A value of 5, is the highest priority. TINYINT 1 to 5 HiWeb
PRIORITY The priority given to this suggestion by the HiRISE team. Individual Co-I's will use values of 0-10 for prioritizing image suggestions. Zero is the lowest priority, and a ten is a suggestion of highest scientific merit. After team discussion, the image suggestion can be elevated to values between 11 and 15. An 11 indicates that the team thinks this is a valuable suggestion, and a 15 indicates that the team thinks this is of maximum priority. The goal in this 2-tier priority scheme is to clearly distinguish between priorities that were developed by a single Co-I versus team discussion. This is a different scale than the priority in the Planned_Observations table. This field is the equivalent STL priority field. ENUM("0 - CO-I Assigned Priority - minimum","1 - CO-I Assigned Priority", "2 - CO-I Assigned Priority","3 - CO-I Assigned Priority", "4 - CO-I Assigned Priority","5 - CO-I Assigned Priority", "6 - CO-I Assigned Priority","7 - CO-I Assigned Priority", "8 - CO-I Assigned Priority","9 - CO-I Assigned Priority", "10 - CO-I Assigned Priority - maximum","11 - Team Assigned Priority - minimum", "12 - Team Assigned Priority","13 - Team Assigned Priority", "14 - Team Assigned Priority","15 - Team Assigned Priority - maximum" ) 0 to 15 HiPlan ?
