Galileo Solid State Imaging (SSI) Full Data Releases

Selected images and data obtained by NASA/JPL's Galileo mission have been available on an ongoing basis during the spacecraft's journey through the Jovian system in order to share with the public the excitement of exploration and new discoveries being made via the Galileo spacecraft. Galileo scientists have a one year period set aside for the process of calibrating and validating the full data sets. The full digital images necessary for scientific analysis are released within one year of receipt of an orbit's last data.

Galileo SSI data is available via the
Planetary Data System (PDS) Imaging Node at the URL:
http://www-pdsimage.jpl.nasa.gov/PDS/public/Atlas/Atlas.html
Select the option:
"Galileo SSI REDRs of Earth and the Moon, Venus, Gaspra, Ida, and Jupiter and its satellites"

To accomodate the various needs of the scientific community, the archived files are raw data files which merge the multiple downlinks of data to provide the best final version of an image. Supporting data such as calibration files are also available. Such files include dark currents, radiometric calibrations, blemishes, hot pixels, etc..
