Quickmap mars1/6/2024 The WIDE tool highlights the sequence of data acquired over four decades, culminating in MESSENGER's observations, which led to confirmation of the proposal that water ice is present in Mercury's north polar region. In addition, the MESSENGER team has unveiled a version of the public QuickMap interface tailored for students and educators - the Water Ice Data Exploration (WIDE) tool. QuickMap can be accessed via links on the MESSENGER websites here. The ACT-REACT QuickMap interactive Web interface to MESSENGER data has been updated to incorporate the full coverage of the Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) orbital data and the Mercury Atmospheric and Surface Composition Spectrometer (MASCS) Visible and Infrared Spectrograph (VIRS) measurements included in this delivery. Spacecraft, planet, instrument, camera-matrix, and events (SPICE) data from launch through the period of this release are also included. This 12th delivery of MESSENGER data extends the formatted raw and calibrated data available at the PDS for the spacecraft's science instruments and the radio science investigation to the period from September 18, 2013, to March 17, 2014. NASA requires that all of its planetary missions archive their data in the PDS, which provides documented, peer-reviewed data to the research community. With this release, data are now available to the public through the sixth full Mercury solar day of MESSENGER orbital operations. Data collected during MESSENGER's 31st through 36th month in orbit around Mercury were released to the public by the Planetary Data System (PDS), an organization that archives and distributes NASA's planetary mission data.
