The PDS Geosciences Node archives TES,
MOLA, and Radio Science data.
Data
Follow the instrument links above to
find MGS data products online. Most instruments release
data to the Planetary Data System at three-month or
six-month intervals. See each instrument's page for
release details.
Data from the MGS Primary Mission are
also available on CD-ROM or DVD-ROM free of charge to
NASA-funded investigators. Others may obtain them from
the National Space Science Data Center (NSSDC)
for a nominal fee. For more information, contact us at
[email protected].
The MGS
Science Sampler CD-ROM was released early in the
mission to provide samples of the types of data products
each instrument would generate.
