Similar information is available for thousands
of other USGS/CMG-related Activities.
If known, available are Activity-specific
navigation, gravity, magnetics, bathymetry,
seismic, and sampling data; track maps; and
equipment information; as well as summary
overviews, crew lists, and information
about analog materials.
If available, access to physical samples is
described in the "WR CMG Sample Distribution
Policy" at:
<http://walrus.wr.usgs.gov/infobank/programs/html/main/sample-dist-policy.html>
Primary access to the USGS/CMG Information
Bank's digital data, analog data, and
metadata is provided through...

REFMT was written by Ed Maple to reformat the raw Miniranger data
into the DAPS standard format. The raw data had no day value, so
days were added starting with day 029.
******************************************************************************
Raw Miniranger navigation data for P190MB (Tom Chase). Recovered from 3.5
floppies by Ed Maple, 01/31/90. This file created by combining the 5 files
from floppies. No editing was done except to delete a bad record at the end
of each file.
