AMMOS-PDS Pipeline Service (APPS)

APPS provides a multi-mission instrument data and metadata (i.e. label) transformation service that interfaces local or remote Mission Data provider’s data processing pipeline/end-products and the PDS (Planetary Data System) data archive to ensure compliance to standards in a schedule/cost-efficient manner (i.e. streamline the delivery of data between the missions and the PDS). In turn, this supports data format independence for instrument data (including, but not limited to, imaging), which improves data access and discovery for instrument Principal Investigators, scientists, and general users within the PDS4 architecture.
