Venus Data in the PDSNANCY CHANOVER, ATMOSPHERES NODE
JORDAN PADAMS, ENGINEERING NODE
PDS Overview• NASA’s Planetary Data System (PDS) is a distributed archive that hosts and serves data collected by robotic missions to targets in the solar system as well as ground-based support observations.
• The PDS is an active archive that makes well-documented, peer-reviewed data available to the community.
• The data adhere to rigorous standards for data archiving formats and documentation, ensuring that they will be readable, understandable, and usable for future generations of researchers.
• The PDS is comprised of 6 science discipline nodes and two support nodes, providing the archives
with discipline-specific expertise.

Venus Data in ATM: Matrix Approach
11/06/19 4PDS PRESENTATION, VEXAG MEETING, BOULDER, CO
https://atmos.nmsu.edu/data_and_services/atmospheres_data/VENUS/venus_matrix.html
Provides a quick-look view at what types of data are available from all Venus missions as well as all of the data from a given Venus mission
International Mission Data• In addition to NASA mission data, Venus atmospheric data are available from ESA’s Venus Expressand JAXA’s Akatsuki missions
• Primary international archives:• ESA: Planetary Science Archive (PSA) - https://archives.esac.esa.int/psa/• JAXA: Data Archive and Transmission System (DARTS) - https://darts.isas.jaxa.jp
• The PDS Atmospheres Node (ATM) mirrors the ESA site for VEX data and serves as an off-site back-up and mirror for the Akatsuki data. Therefore, data from both of these international missions are accessible from the PDS Atmospheres Node web site.
• ATM has worked with JAXA/DARTS and the Akatsuki team to develop the Akatsuki web page to provide greater exposure to both the DARTS and PDS data access sites:

11/06/19 5PDS PRESENTATION, VEXAG MEETING, BOULDER, CO
Requesting PDS Assistance• The PDS will work with data proposers (who eventually become data providers) to
• develop a plan for what to archive, how, and when
• create the archive products
• undergo the peer review process
• release the data to the public
• This is true for proposers to NASA R&A programs as well as mission proposers.
• PDS staff can provide feedback on proposers’ Data Management Plans, and can provide letters of support to confirm that the proposed archiving plans are appropriate.
• Early contact with the relevant node(s) is encouraged; at least one week ahead of proposal deadlines is required!
11/06/19 6PDS PRESENTATION, VEXAG MEETING, BOULDER, CO
PDS Meeting Presence• The PDS has a booth at all major planetary science conferences, where we offer
• training (small class environment)
• informational brochures and flyers
• one-on-one help (e.g. with finding and/or archiving data)
• fun activities to engage prospective users (e.g. data scavenger hunt)
• Conferences we usually attend:• AAS Division for Planetary Sciences
• Lunar and Planetary Science Conference
• American Geophysical Union
• Plus occasional international meetings and more specialized conferences
