vipersci

This vipersci package is software to support the activities of the Volatiles Investigating Polar Exploration Rover (VIPER) Science Team.

This software will implement scientific models to convert instrument raw data to useful derived data (but not including any proprietary instrument details). This includes functionality for running the models “in reverse” in order to simulate instrument data for tests and mission simulations. This software will enable and support the creation of various geospatial data sets (maps) to help visualize and understand data from the spacecraft. It will also support the creation of PDS4 archive labels and structures for eventual data delivery to the Planetary Data System (PDS).

At the moment, this repo is under significant development and change as we attempt to craft various pieces of code. It is definitely a work-in-progress.

The VIPER Science Team is developing this software “in the open” in order to adhere to the new NASA Science Information Policy for the Science Mission Directorate (SPD-41) as much as is possible.

• Free software: Apache 2 License

Installation

Versions will be posted to PyPI and conda to ease installation soon.

For the moment, follow the “Get Started!” directions in the CONTRIBUTING.rst document.

Contributing

Feedback, issues, and contributions are always gratefully welcomed. See the contributing guide for details on how to help and setup a development environment.
