On Line Catalog Information - PDS Imaging Node

The PDS Imaging Node On-Line catalog provides information concerning various planetary image data products. The catalog currently allows for search queries on data from the Viking and Magellan missions. You may also query the International Astronomical Union (IAU) Gazetteer Planetary data base. Connecting to this catalog spawns a telnet session to system "mipl8.jpl.nasa.gov". The interface supports VT-100 ascii and X-Window terminals.

Before you attempt to connect to this catalog, please note the following:

For X-Window users, issue the Unix command "xhost mipl8.jpl.nasa.gov" or "xhost +mipl8.jpl.nasa.gov" from your station (This allows mipl8 to display at your terminal).

After you initiate the connection to the catalog, be prepared to provide information such as :

User name is "pdsguest", and password is "$pds$Img".
Are you running under X Windows?
Your terminal type (SUN, DEC, etc).
Color monitor?
Internet address of your station?

You may now connect to the catalog or go back to the Imaging Node.

You may also connect to this catalog independent from this Mosaic session. To do so, type the following:

For Unix users, from your system prompt, issue the command:
- xhost mipl8.jpl.nasa.gov -or-
- xhost +mipl8.jpl.nasa.gov
Start a telnet session with the command:
- telnet mipl8.jpl.nasa.gov
Login to mipl8 as user "pdsguest" and password "$pds$Img".
Be prepared to answer questions such as:
- Are you running under X Windows?
- Your terminal type (SUN, DEC, etc).
- Color monitor?
- Internet address of your station?
