Abstract | The MeSS (Mercury Surface Spectroscopy) PostGreSQL database project was initially created to host MASCS MESSENGER science data in order to provide a user friendly way to query MASCS data at once, for instance to characterise the spectral properties of surface features (Besse et al., 2020 ; Barraud et al. 2021).
At this stage the MeSS database includes calibrated MESSENGER’s MASCS data together with the corresponding high-level products computed by the MeSS team using those calibrated data.
We are planning the MeSS as a collection of instrument spacecraft, high level scientific products and community products related databases. In the future we plan to enrich this collection with more instrument data From MESSENGER such as MDIS and MLA instruments, but also adding new high-level products.
In this work, we will present the current structure and contents of the MeSS database, the new extension in progress and the potential future extension. |
