Since entering orbit in 2011, MESSENGER's Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) has acquired >100,000 images of Mercury's surface and created the first global maps of the Solar System's innermost planet. MDIS images are available in NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS), and on March 8, 2013, the first global maps based on MDIS images were released by the PDS; the global maps include one in monochrome to highlight surface morphology and one in eight colors. This workshop introduced all of the MDIS images and advanced data products available in the PDS, discussed the different calibrations and corrections applied to the data, introduced the two newly released global maps, and presented tools and software available to navigate and analyze MDIS data. The overall goal of the workshop was to increase the awareness and accessibility of the MDIS dataset to the larger scientific community, to support ongoing scientific projects, and to enable future research proposals.
This MESSENGER MDIS Data Users' Workshop was held in association with the 44th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference on Sunday, March 17, 2013, from 2:00 PM – 6:00 PM at The Woodlands Waterway Marriott and Hotel and Convention Center, The Woodlands, TX, in the Montgomery Ballrooms B/C. The workshop was intended for anyone interested in using MDIS data.
All presentation materials are available at this PDS website.
ISIS demos and materials presented at the workshop are available at this USGS website.

Since entering orbit in 2011, MESSENGER's Visible and Infrared Spectrograph (VIRS) has acquired >10 million spectra of Mercury's surface and created the first spectral maps of the solar system's innermost planet. These data are available in NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS). A MESSENGER Visible and Infrared Spectrograph (VIRS) Data Users' Workshop was held in association with the 45th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference on Monday, March 17, 2014 to introduce users to the MASCS/VIRS data sets. Here you can find the agenda from the meeting, the presentation slides, and various resources to help you work with VIRS data.

Abstract: | The results are presented of the Mercury Orbiter Science Working Team which held three workshops in 1988 to 1989 under the auspices of the Space Physics and Planetary Exploration Divisions of NASA Headquarters. Spacecraft engineering and mission design studies at the Jet Propulsion Lab were conducted in parallel with this effort and are detailed elsewhere. The findings of the engineering study, summarized herein, indicate that spin stabilized spacecraft carrying comprehensive particles and fields experiments and key planetology instruments in high elliptical orbits can survive and function in Mercury orbit without costly sun shields and active cooling systems. |

This workshop introduced MESSENGER's Mercury Dual Imaging System (MDIS) images and advanced data products available in NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS) and focused on getting users to work with MDIS data. Tools and software to navigate and analyze MDIS data were discussed. The overall goal of the workshop was to increase the awareness and accessibility of MDIS datasets to the larger scientific community, to support ongoing scientific projects, and to enable future research proposals. The workshop was open to any one in the community, and no previous experience with MDIS data was required.
Since entering orbit in 2011, MDIS has acquired >250,000 images of Mercury's surface and created the first global maps of the Solar System's innermost planet. MESSENGER's operational mission ends in April 2015, as the spacecraft depletes its fuel and impacts the planet. MDIS images and global mosaics are available in the PDS, with additional PDS deliveries planned through spring 2016.
This MESSENGER MDIS Data Users' Workshop was held in association with the 46th Lunar and Planetary Science Conference 1:30 pm to 4:30 pm on Sunday, March 15, 2015, in the Grogan's Mill room. Visit the LPSC website link above for location and other logistical information.
March 10, 2015 Workshop Announcement
This workshop was hands-on and activity oriented, to give all participants some direct experience working with MDIS data during the workshop. As such, the three items below were useful for participants to do prior to the workshop if possible.

Agenda
Sunday, March 15, 2015, 1:30-4:30 pm CDT
Grogan's Mill room at the Woodlands Waterway Marriott
The 2015 MDIS Data Users' Workshop will involve examples of using MDIS data. Participants will be able to work through these examples on their own computers using materials provided at the workshop on a USB drive. Thus, participants are encouraged to bring their own computers to get the most out of this workshop.
