Notes

1. This raw data is subject to revision by JPL as more accurate data arrives from the rover, or after calibration

2. Raw data was taken from the mission JSON records and or the GeoJSON ‘Rover Interactive Map’ (linked below)

3. Definitions will be added in future updates when I can get the official definitions of the fields used in the JSON and GeoJSON files.

4. Drive data is available from multiple sources, I’ve noticed some values are not always identical, this is probably teething issues between the JSON and Geojson databases, hopefully it will become aligned soon.
