The Dust Subnode continued its ingestion of data from the Galileo and Ulysses dust detection systems (DDS), including instrument calibration files. The DDS data was collected and reviewed in a telecon session involving 16 scientists and Planetary Data System (PDS) personnel, identifying outstanding issues that need to be resolved to complete the ingestion process. This was enabled by the establishment of a Dust Subnode Website. Access to the IRAS data holdings of PDS were greatly improved with the addition and extraction and search capabilities developed for the Website. Investigators are now able to download small subsets of data corresponding to individual scans of the satellite. The time-ordered data from the Diffuse Infrared Background Experiment (DIRBE) of COBE has been delivered to the Dust Subnode along with DIRBE Weekly Skymaps. This data provides critical measures of the zodiacal dust complex. Effort was also devoted to working with the Asteroid Subnode on the ingestion of some of their data products.
