FAQ
LBL to CAL Conversion
What are LBL files?
LBL is a label file of NASA's Planetary Data System (PDS), the archive that stores images and measurements collected by space missions to the Moon, Mars, and other bodies. It is a small text file that sits next to a data file, usually an .img picture, and explains what the data are: which spacecraft and instrument made them, what the target was, when they were taken, and how the picture is arranged. The same style of label is used by the Integrated Software for Imagers and Spectrometers (ISIS) of the USGS Astrogeology Science Center, which processes planetary imagery. Because the label can be read in any text editor, the data stay understandable many years after the mission ends.
What are CAL files?
A CAL image file represents a monochrome bitmap image that uses the CALS raster image standard for storing graphics data. This standard was created in the 1980s by the US Department of Defence as a compressed interchangeable image format. CAL and CALS are extensions used for similar purposes.
