The CATALOG subdirectory on this CD-ROM volume contains the catalog objects   
associated with the Mars Climate Sounder data set.  These objects contain     
high-level descriptions of the data set.  Each catalog object is in ASCII,    
with a maximum of 78 characters per line.  Each line is delimited with a      
carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair.
