MESSENGER RSS Radio Science Receiver Record (RSR)
RSR – Radio Science Receiver Record
Instrument: MESSENGER Radio Science Experiment
PDS Data Set ID: MESS-V/H-RSS-1-EDR-RAWDATA-V1.0
For more information about RSS RSR Products, see the EDR Product SIS.
The Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) Radio Science Receiver Record (RSR) data products contain samples of open loop receiver output; the samples are complex and can have 1-16 bits in both the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, depending on sampling rate and precision requested. Sampling rates between 1 ksps and 16 Msps may be requested. Each RSR file is accompanied by a full PDS label which describes both the format and the content at the bit level.
RSS RSR products have the following file names:
MESS_RS_yyyydddhhmm_ccc_RSR.DAT (with detached PDS label)
where:
MESS = mission = MESSENGER
RS = instrument = Radio Science Subsystem
yyyyddhhmm = start time year, day of year, hour, and minutes of the data
ccc = RSR subchannel
RSR = product type = Radio Science Receiver Record
There is one file which has been renamed to not conflict with the original product:
MESS_RS020062971548_2A1_RSR.DAT
In ODE, RSR products have the following product IDs:
MESS_RS_YYYYDDDHHMM_CCC_RSR
