Deprecate InSight Calibration? #58

Open kmgill opened 1 year ago

kmgill commented 1 year ago

It's been a while since the InSight mission ended. Should I remove the InSight support?

I'm inclined to leave it in a deprecated state and eventually remove it if/when a breaking update occurs (either in the MRU APIs or the remote fetch server).

What would be neat is a download utility in the same style as mru [mission]-fetch that can download files from the PDS, and convert them to .tif files if desired.

A lot of people are likely not aware the PDS even exists and will find definitely it hard to work with those products.

By, doing so the original raw commands wouldn't be needed anymore.

I have been thinking about that too, but sorta find PDS out of scope of MRU for the time being. That said, there is the pds2png subcommand which will convert a PDS image to png|tif.

Very understandable. Perhaps I will develop this capability into my PDS2DNG (or Mars2DNG as I want to call it because it doesn't only support PDS data). I'm in the middle of a rewrite at the moment, not quite sure where I want to take this in the future.
