                   EXTRAS Directory Contents                                  
                                                                              
The SOFTWARE directory contains ZIP files of software, configuration          
files, and documentation that was used in generating the MEX ASPERA-3         
data releases.  The software uses input data for this release found in        
the EXTRAS/IDFS_DATA_❮time period❯ and EXTRAS/SPICE_DATA subdirectories.      
The output from the software are the PDS CSV and LBL files found in the       
DATA subdirectories and the GEO_EARTH.TAB, GEO_EARTH.LBL, GEO_MARS.TAB,       
and GEO_MARS.LBL files in the INDEX directory.  For each data release,        
new configuration files are needed for the software to properly build         
the .LBL files.  A new CONFIG ZIP file and corresponding .LBL file are        
generated for each data release.  Thus, the contents of the EXTRAS            
directory will grow with each release.                                        
                                                                              
The files listed below are found in this directory.                           
                                                                              
SOFTINFO.TXT  - The file you are reading.                                     
                                                                              
ASPERA3_SW_BIN.ZIP  - Zip file of the BIN subdirectory containing the         
                      software executables used in generating the             
                      archive data set releases.                              
                                                                              
ASPERA3_SW_BIN.LBL  - PDS label describing the contents of the                
                      ASPERA3_SW_BIN.ZIP file.                                
                                                                              
ASPERA3_SW_CONFIG_❮time period❯.ZIP  - Zip file of the CONFIG_❮time period❯   
                                       subdirectory containing the            
                                       configuration files used to generate   
                                       this data release, where               
                                                                              
                                   time period = 'NEV', 'IC', or MMMYYYY      
                                           MMM is 3-character month, and      
                                          YYYY is 4-digit year.               
                                                                              
                                   It is important to note that the 'NEV'     
                                   and 'IC' time periods do NOT correspond    
                                   to the Mission defined time periods.       
                                   For ASPERA-3, the 'NEV' time period is     
                                   when data are sampled closer to Earth,     
                                   so EARTH is used as the reference target.  
                                   The 'IC' time period is when data are      
                                   taken closer to Mars during cruise but     
                                   before the first Mars orbit.               
                                                                              
ASPERA3_SW_CONFIG_❮time period❯.LBL  - PDS label describing the contents of   
                               the ASPERA3_SW_CONFIG_❮time period❯.ZIP file.  
                                                                              
ASPERA3_SW_DOC.ZIP  - Zip file of the DOC subdirectory containing             
                      the software documentation.                             
                                                                              
ASPERA3_SW_DOC.LBL  - PDS label describing the contents of the                
                      ASPERA3_SW_DOC.ZIP file.
