"Raw" (EDR) data from the Mars Science Laboratory's MSSS-produced cameras (Mastcam, MAHLI, and MARDI), are archived in a bespoke compressed format. These images carry the extension '.DAT'. Software for converting these files to PDS3-style uncompressed raster .IMG files exists in the archive. We plan to either include / compile this code with the installation of this package or (much better) to port dat2img to pure Python. Help is welcomed with either of these efforts! The MSL "calibrated" (RDR) files for these cameras are not compressed in this way.
