08 Scientific Data Format: VICAR
VICAR (Video Image Communication and Retrieval) is a collection of image
processing programs supported by the Multimission Image Processing
Laboratory (MIPL) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), for use
in manipulating and analyzing spacecraft images. The image format
used by VICAR programs, and for all or most data from JPL-managed
missions, is referred to as VICAR format. An independent third-party
description of the VICAR image format is available at

A much more comprehensive and official description of the VICAR
image format was recently spotted at
