PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.


                                              




    IMAGES AND MAPS SUBARU/COMICS

    These data were funded by NASA to monitor Jupiter in the infrared, providing a long-term temporal and spatial context to support the encounters of several spacecraft with the planet, e.g. the Galileo mission for this data set.

    This dataset was obtained using COoled Mid-Infrared Camera/Spectrometer (COMICS) at the Subaru Telescope, operated by the National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) . Observations were made from April 2005 to February 2013 and the dataset covers wavelengths 4.9 - 24.8 μm,
