[ssig] Hello, IVOA Solar System Interest Group!

[Anne Catherine Raugh]

Hi Stépane!

On the subject of spectral cubes - as I suspect you know, this has been a
sore point in PDS for a long time. The variations in the data typically
reflected the variations in the instruments and how the cubes were
assembled during an observing sequence. Of course the software used by the
instrument teams also had an influence. Is the goal to define a
standardized format, or a standardized way of describing the various
formats out there?

Regards,

-Anne.
