Does anyone know where the file name decoding information is for Curiosity please?

The MERs have all kinds of information in the name of the files such as rover, site, drive, filter, camera, date of pic etc.

I have looked on the Analysys Notebook site and I am unable to find this information. The closest I found was a message that it would be supplied...
Thanks.

Thanks.
That is an online one so I suppose I can work out the code.

As an example I tried, it does not like this one though

Have you tried it yourself?

Yup.
mars.jpl.nasa.gov...

It looks like the filename you used is truncated. I don't know why.

Ok, that works now. Thanks.
If we can find the reference to the official NASA document about decoding the file names, we can probably sort it out for both URLs.

This site provides such information for Curiosity images directly: curiosityrover.com...
You can even see its direction and field of view on satellite imagery (click "map it") and the camera angle relative to the horizontal (called "elevation").

For example, for the Mastcam image you linked: curiosityrover.com...

Look at page 85 (100 on the PDF) of this.

According to that information, an image with the name "RRB_445258030EDR_F0260516RHAZ00306M_" would mean:

Instrument ID - RR = Rear Hazcam Right
Instrument Configuration - B = B-side configuration
Spacecraft Clock Start Count - 445258030
Product Type identifier - EDR = First order product
Geometry type - _ = 1st compression mode received
Sample type - F = Full frame raster data, full resolution
Site location count - 026
Drive (position-within-Site) location count - 0516
Sequence identifier - RHAZ00306
Venue and Product Producer ID - M = MIPL (OPGS at JPL)
Version identifier - _ = Range 36 and higher

I don't know if that helps.
