JPL Mars Image names (was Spirit color wheel not being used?)
Can anyone shed light on the naming system JPL uses for their raw image
filenames? This is what I have figured out on my own:
Eg: 2 P 126553081 ESF 0200 P 2100 L6 M1 .JPG
2 = MER-2 (Spirit aka MER-A)
2 = MER-A
1 = MER-B
P = Pancam
N=Navcam
F=F hazcam
R=R hazcam
9-digit decimal number = seconds since Jan 1, 2000
so: '126553081' would be 4-Jan-04 17:36. (4 hours slow though ??)
ESF/EFF/EDS = ? -- I note EFF is the predominant type; files are larger
Compression quality and size:
EFF - 'best' quality
EDN - 'medium'
ESF - 'thumbnail'
4-digit decimal number = ? ('0200' in this case)
P = ?
Looks like all are P, except views of the Sun with pancam (F),
and EDL (also F).
4-digit decimal number = ? ('2100' in this case)
I suspect something about quality and size of the image.
L = Left 'eye'
6 = Filter number 6
M1 = ? (I don't think Mer-1, as that is Opportunity)
Thanks for any insight.

PS Thanks v. much Joe for filter information.
