Default 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.
