Loader for NASA/ESA PDS/EDR images
This plugin loads NASA/ESA PDS/EDR images.
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

Large parts of the source
Large parts of the source code that is shipped in the Zip file do not claim that they are distributed as Public domain, and the parts that are the GIMP plug-in do not do this, either.
Please do correct this and provide the proper licensing information.
The source is public domain
I'll add license information on the next version.
My part, the pds.c is public domain.
The other code, for loading MGS/MOC data, was published by MSSS and is public domain, too, as written in the header of pmain.c. The only restriction is, that you should use that code only for loading images from the MOC (Mars Observer Camera), which is of course the purpose of the plugin, as no other space mission used that very special encoding.
