GIMP Plugin Registry

PDS/EDR format is the image format used by NASA Planetary Data System and by ESA Planetary Science Archives. PDS images from various space missions are available at http://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/ and http://www.rssd.esa.int/index.php?project=PSA

With the PDS plug-in you can load images from these missions and others:

• Mars Express HRSC
• 2001 Mars Odyssey THEMIS EDR/RDR-QUB (RGB-loader)
• Mars Global Surveyor MOC
• Mars Pathfinder
• Viking Lander

PDS-files usually have the filename-suffix ".img" or ".imq" if compressed. Note, that this suffix is also used for other non-PDS file-formats.

The plug-in will install itself as input filter for files with the following suffixes: img,imq,qub,pds,edr,bb1,bb2,bb3,bb4,ir1,ir2,ir3,n07,n15,sur,sun,red,grn,blu,sgr,vio
