Ref Common Pedigree #460

Open tddesjardins opened 7 hours ago

tddesjardins commented 7 hours ago

The ref_common schema pedigree enum only contains GROUND, MODEL, DUMMY, SIMULATION. We will need to add INFLIGHT and provide a capability to specify the date range. I'm not sure how JWST has done this — if I look at one of their ASDF reference files (abvegamag) on CRDS, I see pedigree is "INFLIGHT 2022-07-08 2023-03-18". This is only for reference and not used to my knowledge by anything downstream, so if we want to keep the enum but add INFLIGHT, we could break the date range information to an additional keyword.

This is obviously not urgent as we are not near launch, but I wanted to capture this before I forgot about it.

The date range would be ~redundant with the CRDS use after information, but included so that the files are self-contained? Or it contains a beginning and an end date, while the use after information only includes the former?
