The CLEMENTINE Mission

The CLEMENTINE Spacecraft, was launched on January the 25^th 1994, and performed in 71 days the first multi-spectral systematic mapping of the Moon. The main instrumentation of clementine consists of six cameras : A-STAR, B-STAR , HIRES , UVVIS , LWIR , NIR (documents from USGS ).

The CNES has participated in this mission, by providing the system of images compression aboard, developed by MATRA. Clementine produced 1.800.000 images, which represents approximately a volume of 55 Go of data. These data are distributed by the Planetary Data Systesm on 90 CD-ROMS, and are also available on line (stored on 55 Go drives) thanks to this CNES server.

SAIC - System of Acces to Clementine Images

"Clementine" provides online acces to :

Documentation provided on CD-ROMS, that describes the mission, the data, the compression system, ...
Decompression tools and viewers : softwares to convert the images into raw data format and gif format used by the viewers.

Temporal data that allow to know the different operating modes in flight.
Recovery and Visualization capabitilities : to see and download the image files on your local disk.
