Multimission Image Processing Laboratory

The Interplanetary Network Directorate (IND) Deep Space Mission System (DSMS) Engineering Program Office at JPL provides a multimission facility for processing science instrument data from NASA's planetary missions. This facility, the Multimission Image Processing Lab (MIPL) is developed and maintained by the Science Instrument Services (SIS) System within IND to meet requirements that span the NASA family of planetary missions.

There are several components which make up the Multimission Image Processing System (MIPS). The multimission science instrument data processing software system called VICAR as well as a multimission data management system are major components of MIPS.

The VICAR system is a general purpose software system which is adapted to meet specific mission requirements. VICAR is available for use by science investigators who are NASA funded. The multimission data management system provides a data cataloging and indexing function supporting the production of science data products and other services supporting science instrument data processing within MIPS. MIPS produces archival data records on CD-ROM media in formats specified by the Planetary Data System.
