Wow, we passed 700 registered users! 
To handle a very busy next week, we released our usual "Valentine's day" update a bit early, this is a very minor one since we did a non-regular update in december:
- Welcome page display the guest access
- CRISM output file old encoding was fixed and they'll display, we also added line numbers
#MarsSI wishes you a happy new year!
We wanted to share a few numbers from last year (and how it compared to 2023): it's really nice to know that even at our level, we're seeing a lot of data being used for planetary sciences!
("Calculs" are processing requests, and "Copies" are copy requests)
Happy new year, planetary science community!
We updated the background layers in #MarsSI to use the V01 release of the #MurrayLab global mosaic. This version is more contrasted, and tiles blend really nicely.
We hope this will help you!
Do you want to know (almost) everything about searching data in #MarsSI in 3 minutes? We did a new tutorial video for hat!
https://marssi.univ-lyon1.fr/wiki/VideoTutorials#Tutorial_2_:_Finding_data
(we should find a #peertube instance to put these)
#MarsSI is back!
DEM workflow v3 is now in place.
#CRISM workflow now clean up the "corr transposed" files.
The website had a few cosmetic improvements.
We had some delays with our new computing nodes, but we hope to receive it before the end of the year and have it running at the begining of 2025.
Have a nice day!
Our distupgrade went well and #MarsSI now runs on #Devuan GNU+Linux 5.
CTX and HIRISE DEMs have been archived, the v3 workflow is in place and our pipepline testsuite ran without issues.
We will leave the site in maintenance mode since the next step is now saturday's electrical maintenance at the datacenter and we will shutdown everything tomorrow -- until then you can still access your SFTP directories.
The service should be back online monday morning!
We will improve #MarsSI generated DEM georeferencing and MOLA alignment at the end of the month!
Initial orbital positioning offsets are quite big, and it's really hard to coregister high and super-high datasets to MOLA, our small but helpful improvement is to get a rough corrective shift from MurrayLab CTX mosaic before doing point cloud alignment -- Do not worry, MOLA is still the reference!
#MarsSI will be unavailable from the 24th of October until the 28th.
Our hosting facility will have electrical maintenance and we will plan system upgrades at the same time to minimize downtime.
Like with the previous maintenances, there is nothing to do: our #OAR scheduler will ensure there is no running jobs at the time of the maintenance, all submitted request will be kept in queue.
De nombreux membres de l’équipe se sont rendus à l’EuroPlanet Science Congress qui s’est tenu du 8 au 13 Septembre 2024 à Berlin (comme en 2018!).
Inès a présenté le mardi l’état d’avancement de ses travaux qui visent à réunir les géologies des minéraux hydratés des régions d’Oxia Planum et Mawrth Vallis.
Maxime présentait un poster ce même jour sur des échantillons de silice prélevés au Botswana au niveau des lacs salés du Makgadigadki, un analogue terrestre aux observations martiennes. Il a également fait une présentation orale sur l’observation de minéraux hydratés en contexte de volcanisme sédimentaire sur Mars, vendredi matin.
Matthieu a repris ses devoirs et pu présenter un poster MarsSI et rencontrer nouveaux et anciens utilisateurs pour leur parler des évolutions et nouveaux jeux de données tels que CaSSIS.
Cédric a présenté en session orale ses travaux sur les lois géomorphologiques des cratères de petites tailles (<50m), résultats de nouvelle méthodes plus robustes d’estimation des profondeurs de cratères.
L’équipe n’était qu’une partie de l’impressionnante présence française dans cette conférence, ce qui fut l’occasion de nombreux échanges!

Thanks to the fantastic people from #CaSSIS team at University of Bern, #MarsSI should be very soon a frontend to their data repository!
We will focus on providing access to the map-projected images, already processed by CaSSIS team themselves, but ping us if you think lower levels should also be provided.
What's this? A new target for #MarsSI ? Yes it is!
We have added the MDIS-NAC dataset for #Mercury, following a similar pipeline we use for other optical datasets (raw, calibrated, mapprojected).
By habit, we registered for the Mars surface poster session at #EPSC2024, but come and say hello if you want also to chat about the Moon, Mercury or Titan.
And we might even have something more really soon!
No need to keep good features waiting, here is the new version of #MarsSI
#MarsSI SFTP access was disabled yesterday...

#MarsSI update! (part 4)
We will be updating the wiki to reflect all of this in the coming days. Be sure to drop at our posters at #ConferenceOnMars or #EPSC to discuss!
#MarsSI update! (part 2)
New dataset : SHARAD
We're adding SHARAD radargrams to MarsSI, for now it's "just" the data as processed by the instrument team itself. We're working to bring something more in the near future!
#MarsSI update! (part 1)
First item, we are very much pleased to announce we are in the final steps of obtaining a new cluster to process our data.
The previous hardware, legacy of the #e-Mars ERC project was not up to the task anymore, we should be getting a 128 cores cluster similar to one we are using in the #OCEANID ERC project and it has shown very good efficiency and performance.
#MarsSI new email configuration was set, we can now again accept registration from gmail addresses.
Are you going to either #ConferenceOnMars or #EPSC this year? We are pleased to announce our poster submission were accepted and we hope to meet & discuss with you in person!
Cathy Quantin-Nataf (project head) will be at Passadena and Matthieu Volat (technical manager) will go to Berlin.
