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 ID is available in both a 32-bit binary code and a user-friendly text representation. 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:SPICE

Field Description Type Null Limits Size Key Default Authority Source
ID This is the unique ID for each SPICE kernel. The values here should not be assigned by external programs. Instead it can either be ignored, or NULL can be inserted, and the database will automatically assign the next ID. INT(10) unsigned auto_increment Not Null Primary Key
KERNAL_NAME The name for this kernel. VARCHAR(50)
PATHNAME The full logical path (filename included) of this SPICE kernel file within the HiRISE filesystem. VARCHAR(128)
VERSION The kernel's version. VARCHAR(20)
CURRENT_VERSION_CREATE_TIME The date that the current version was created. DATETIME
PREVIOUS_VERSION_CREATE_TIME The date that the previous version was created. DATETIME
ACQUISITION_TIME The time that the kernel was acquired?? Laz: I'm confused... I guess its the time we got it at HiROC. DATETIME
KERNAL_TYPE The type of kernel that this is. ENUM("BSP", "TLS", "TSC", "SPKS", "CKS", "FK", "IK", "PCK")
KERNAL_DESCRIPTION ?? Laz: There are C-kernels, I kernels, frame kernels, and lots of other kernels... Eric knows this well, Brad has taken training... VARCHAR(200)
COVERAGE_RANGE_START_TIME The earliest time this kernel covers. DATETIME
COVERAGE_RANGE_STOP_TIME The latest time this kernel covers. DATETIME
NUMBER_DATA_GAPS The number of gaps in the kernel. SMALLINT(6)
KERNAL_NAME_IN_DERIVATION_KERNAL ?? Laz: no bleeping clue... seems like Fei misunderstanding Brad. Brad might know what he meant originally? VARCHAR(50)
KERNAL_STATUS The status of this kernel. ENUM("PREDICT", "RECONSTRUCTED", "DEJITTERED")
LAST_UPDATE This column records the last time that a record was updated. TIMESTAMP
