Cassini Data Analysis Program (CDAP)

The ROSES 2009 Cassini Data Analysis Program Appendix C.10, specifies that:

This program solicits research proposals to conduct scientific investigations utilizing data obtained by the Cassini spacecraft. In order to be considered, proposing PIs must use data that are in the public domain 90 days before the CDAP proposals due date, and they must make clear to the peer reviewers that the data are publicly available. This applies to the first year of proposed work only. It is understood that the second or third year of work will address data that have come into the archive during the first year of the investigation.

The research solicitation states:

It is the responsibility of the proposers to CDAP to specifically identify any needed data and to ascertain that these data are available. Proposals dealing with mission data should provide convincing evidence that the data has sufficient quality and is available in sufficient quantity to achieve the goals set forth in the proposal.

Mission data are available from the Planetary Data System (PDS).

Other Data Within PDS

Data from the various instruments are curated and maintained by PDS Discipline Nodes for which the data is relevant. Those nodes generally provide data set and discipline specific information.

The following Discipline Nodes also have Cassini information pages:

Ancillary data (SPICE files) for Cassini can be obtained from the NAIF Node
