isisdl

ISISDL is a command line tool used for downloading data from the ISIS database, which is a virtual observatory for planetary science. It allows users to access a wide range of data related to planetary research.

With ISISDL, users can efficiently search for and download data products such as images, spectrums, and other observational data from various missions, including Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, Viking, and Voyager.

The tool provides an interface to interact with the ISIS database, allowing users to specify the search criteria like target name, instrument, and mission, making it easy to find the desired data.

ISISDL also supports advanced search techniques, such as searching by spatial constraints, time ranges, and specific data types. This flexibility helps researchers to narrow down the search results and retrieve the most relevant data for their studies.

The downloaded data products are accompanied by metadata, providing information about the observational parameters, instrument configurations, and calibration details.

ISISDL supports multiple output formats, including the Planetary Data System (PDS) format, which is widely used in planetary science research.

The tool can be executed programmatically through a command line interface, making it suitable for batch processing and automation.

ISISDL is actively maintained and updated, ensuring compatibility with the latest versions of the ISIS software package and database.

It is a valuable tool for researchers, students, and enthusiasts interested in planetary science and exploring vast quantities of planetary observation data.

ISISDL is an open-source project and can be freely downloaded and used by anyone interested in accessing planetary data from the ISIS database.
