Web interface

Which web browser is supported by MarsSI?

We do not target specific browsers, so any standard compliant web browser should work with MarsSI web interface.

I forgot my login/password

Use this link: https://marssi.univ-lyon1.fr/MarsSI/accounts/password_reset

You need to have access to the email address used in the registration process.

I would like to change my password

Data download

Why do MarsSI need to download data?

MarsSI is not a full PDS mirror, we retrieve products only when a user express interest in it to be more efficient about bandwidth and storage.

But once a product is downloaded/processed, it will be kept!

Why do I need to copy data?

MarsSI has now a lot of products that would be hard to browse if we just gave access to the raw directories. The "copy" action allow you to create a subset of the data that interest you and have a cleaner view when connecting to the SFTP server.

That being said, we are thinking of easier ways to do so in the future.

I requested a copy, but my SFTP directory is empty

You might have clicked the "Copy" button without selecting any products in the "Data processed" pane : be sure to have selected to copy.

Which SFTP client should I use?

Our tutorial describe using Filezilla because we think most people would be comfortable with it, but if you are more familiar with another client, you can use it and just get the settings from the documentation.

Data processing

DEM confidence map

We rely on the Ames Stereopipline software to produce our DEMs, which do not output information such as confidence map. They stated in the past that producing this information was really hard in their pipeline and was not planned in the foreseeable future.

DEM intermediary products

We do not provide intermediary products such as aligned left/right images, raw or refined correlation results. Those products use a lot of disk space and are sometime not straightforward to open and read.
