  Data Set Overview                                                           
  =================                                                           
                                                                              
This data set contains data that is useful for determining                    
the energetic particle environment experienced by the Mars Science            
Laboratory rover at the surface of Mars. The RDR data products are            
calibrated data reconstructed from EDR data and formatted                     
according to the RAD RDR Software Interface Specification (RDR                
SIS).                                                                        
                                                                              
                                                                              
  Processing                                                                  
  ==========                                                                  
                                                                              
The Committee On Data Management and Computation (CODMAC) data                
level numbering system is used to describe the processing level of            
the RDR data product.  RAD RDR data products are considered CODMAC Level      
3 or Calibrated Data (equivalent to NASA level 1-A) products.  The RDR        
data files are generated from RAD EDR data.  RDR data files are ASCII         
text, and each one spans either a Sol (if data is from the surface -          
after landing) or an Earth day (if data is from cruise to Mars).              
EDR data is first ingested into the RAD team's database, and then             
RDR files are created from this data, enabling straightforward                
sorting by Sol or date.

  ====                                                                        
                                                                              
Each RAD RDR product consists of two files.  The first file is an             
ASCII formatted detached PDS label. The second file is an ASCII               
data file for a RAD Sol/date.  The data in a RAD RDR file is derived          
from RAD EDR data, but numeric information is uncompressed,                   
calibrated to physical units, and converted to ASCII.  The data is            
presented in a generally human-readable form, but lines can be                
very long in order to maintain machine-readability as well.
