OPUS Update for November 2021 - Voyager occultations and CIRS map cubes

This month we have added two new datasets to OPUS: Occultation and reflectance profiles from Voyager, and CIRS map cubes.

Voyager Profiles

OPUS now includes occultation profiles of the rings of Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus taken by the Voyager 1 RSS and UVS and the Voyager 2 RSS, UVS, and PPS instruments. It also includes reflectance profiles of Saturn's rings taken by both Voyager spacecraft. The latter are available using the new "Reflectance Profile" Observation Type. To support this new observation type, the Occultation Constraints sub-menu has been renamed to Occultation/Reflectance Profile Constraints. No preview images are currently available for these observations, so we recommend using the Table View to view the metadata.



Cassini CIRS Map Cubes

OPUS also now includes the CIRS Map Cubes from volumes COCIRS_0xxx and COCIRS_1xxx. These observations are available using the "Spectral Cube" Observation Type. Spectral cubes are available for Saturn, Saturn's moons, and Saturn's rings.


Changed Default Search Fields

In addition, we have changed the default search fields to better represent the types of searches our users normally perform. The default fields are now Instrument Name, Observation Type, and Intended Target Name.



As always, we hope you and your loved ones stay safe this holiday season, and we activity solicit your feedback, comments, and questions on OPUS.
