LIBS

Libs Scans

Meta data:

Col name: Target Point Sol Lat Lon Type
Data type: Character Factor Numeric Numeric Numeric Character
Levels: 1 - 28 Int > 0
What: Name of location the LIBS was taken The Mars day (since start of mission) that the rover took the LIBS point was taken Where the rover was when the LIBS point was taken Where the rover was when the LIBS point was taken What is it a scan of? (Sample, AEGIS, other?)

Feature data:

Col name: "SiO2" "SiO2_stdev" "TiO2" "TiO2_stdev" "Al2O3" "Al2O3_stdev" "FeOT" "FeOT_stdev" "MgO" "MgO_stdev" "CaO" "CaO_stdev" "Na2O" "Na2O_stdev" "K2O" "K2O_stdev" "Total" "distance_mm" "Tot.Em."
Data type: Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric Numeric

Feature data is the same as PIXL, concentration of elemental compounds, though without a few of the elemental compounds PIXL includes. It also has the addition of standard deviations, Total, etc, which PIXL doesn't have.

Libs Earth References

Only the "scct" targets. That is, only the earth references. Note that none of these earth references are in the normal LIBS data frame.

Meta data:

Col name: Target Point Sol Lat Lon Type
Data type: Character Factor Numeric Numeric Numeric Character
Levels: 1 - 28 Int > 0
What: Name of location the LIBS was taken, all start with "scct_" The Mars day (since start of mission) that the rover took the LIBS point was taken Where the rover was when the LIBS point was taken Where the rover was when the LIBS point was taken What earth mineral is it calibrating for

Sample data

Sample data is the data for the, currently 16, physical samples the rover has taken.

Meta Data

A data frame containing all the meta data for the samples. This can be appended to Pixl, Lithology, or Sherloc based on "Sample".

Sample: Integer, 1 through 24. The sample #, 1 through 16. Note that this sample number does not match the sample numbers in the analyst notebook and initial reports, because they also count witness blank (control) samples in their count (ex: our "16" is their "18" because they have two witness blank samples before it).

Name: Character, unique. Just what they decided to refer to the sample as. Also used in analyst notebook and initial reports.

Sol: Numeric, integers > 0. The Mars day (since start of mission) that the sample was taken

Lat: Numeric. Part of the location data. Where the sample was taken.

Lon: Numeric. Part of the location data. Where the smaple was taken.

Abrasion: Factor, some duplication. This is the name they give to the bit of rock they abraided, used to indicate when two samples came from the same spot.

Campaign: Factor, "Crater Floor" or "Delta Front". This indicates whether the sample location was in the crater floor or at the delta front.

Type: Factor, "Sedimentary" or "Igneous" (one case of "Atmospheric"). This indicates the type of rock the sample is.

SampleType: Factor, "rock core" or "regolith" (one case of "atmospheric"). This indicates whether the sample was rock obtained from drilling ("rock core"), rock that was loose on the ground ("regolith"), or just air ("atmoshperic").

PIXL

Starts with the sample number. Following is all numeric elemental compound concentrations.

One change made to the PIXL data set is that the elemental compounds originally had "0" (zero) to represent "Oxygen" has been changed to "O" (uppercase letter O).

Lithology

Starts with the sample number. Following columns are all factor data (binary 0 or 1) representing the presence or absence of minerals.

Main change to Lithology data set was the renaming and ordering of the minerals to match the sherloc data set.

Sherloc

Starts with the sample number. Following columns are all factor data representing the certainty in the presence of minerals. This is discrete data though, with the only options being "0" (No detection), "0.25" (Possible but not confirmed), "0.5" (Almost certain, working on confirming), "0.75" (?), and "1" (confirmed).

Main change made to the SHERLOC data set is that in v1 it has already been converted into the same data frame format as the other data sets.
