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.



    INFRARED INTERFEROMETER SPECTROMETER (IRIS) - CERTIFIED
    Nov 14, 1971 (Ls 292.3 MY 9) to Oct 18, 1972 (Ls 98.1 MY 10)

























    The spatial and temporal distributions of the infrared spectra obtained with the Mariner 9 IRIS instrument during that orbiting missions' lifetime spanning Ls 293 (MY 9) through Ls 98 (MY 10).











    The Data contained within the Mariner 9 IRIS PDS archive are provided in the form of spectral intensity measurements (W cm-2 cm-1 sr-1). The data span the wavenumber range from 199.72 cm-1 to 1960.675 cm-1 and the spectral resolution is 1.174753507 cm-1 at 1500 cm-1.
