Datasets Supported by pdr

"Support" from pdr falls into two categories: official and notional.

Officially supported datasets have been extensively tested and all of their products are supported. If you encounter a file of this type that does not open with pdr, please open an issue at: https://github.com/MillionConcepts/pdr/issues

Notionally supported datasets have been manually tested with a small number of files. Some of these sets do not conform to PDS standards in ways that prevent us from ever testing them to our standard for official support (for instance, they might lack label files). Others in this category will be moved to official support after more rigorous testing.

Many datasets that do not fall into either of these categories may work just fine. They are not listed simply because we have not had a chance to test them yet.

Some datasets are also Known unsupported. Some files or objects may open, while others may not; those that do may open incorrectly. Support is planned for some of these datasets. Others—due to unusual data formats, availability, or quality issues—may never be supported.

All PDS4 products, unless explicitly listed here as known unsupported or specified in pds4_tools documentation as out of support, are considered at least notionally supported. We give specific comments and usage suggestions about some PDS4 product types below. PDS4 products are much more rigorously standardized and validated than PDS3 products, allowing the pds4_tools developers to make very broad support claims that we consider trustworthy. All currently-known exceptions are due to data QA problems rather than deficiencies in pds4_tools.

As a general note, we are less confident about products that contain raw telemetry (or other forms of unprocessed data) or that use bespoke compression schemes. Fully validating our outputs for these products would require recreating portions of ground processing pipelines, which is outside the scope of this project. "Support" for these types means that they load correctly into expected data structures and that interpretable portions of their data (like timestamps) appear to match other sources.

A note on spice files: pdr does not open spice files (usually ending in .bsp or .spk from NAIF), in part because "opening" a spice file in the way pdr reads planetary data isn't very useful. If you're looking to work with these files we recommend spiceypy or lhorizon (which works with spice kernels in combination with JPL Horizons).
