FAQ
LBL to FITS 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 FITS files?
The FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) format is a standard format used particularly for storing, transferring and processing scientific images from fields such as astronomy. FITS was first launched as an open standard in the early 1980s and has gone through several subsequent upgrades. FITS files contain not just images, but also data related to photometry and spatial calibration, and information about the origin of the image. Similar formats include FIT and FTS.
