=== What is it? ===
Most spacecraft mission data is typically divided into "levels" of processing and refinement. Typically, "raw" data is the basic telemetry transferred from the spacecraft to the ground station, packaged as a file, with only basic r/f integrity checks run, and no processing done to it. Level Zero refers to the cleanest, time-ordered set of data for a given instrument or spacecraft. The only processing done is typically the removal of duplicate data points (due to multiple file sends or a solid state recorder overlap), the removal or minimal repair of bad r/f data, and the matching of the end of one packet to the beginning of the next. The images taken by an instrument are left "as is" - not manipulated, not flat-fielded nor otherwise calibrated.

=== Who uses it? ===
Typically, mission operations personnel and instrument operators want to see Level Zero data. It is available usually within minutes of receipt and persons very familiar with instrument/spacecraft engineering specs can make the best use of it. All kinds of raw image data and housekeeping data are present, including many useful temperatures, voltages and positions. Those requiring the most immediate spacecraft images are sometimes also Level Zero data users, such as CISM (Center for Integrated Space Weather Modeling).

The JSOC team has further segregated Level Zero data by making intermediate processing steps between Level Zero and Level One. These include:

Telemetry & Level 0 Data Processing

  • Level Zero refers to the lowest level of accessible data for a given instrument or spacecraft. Telemetry Checking, APID (Application ID) Lookup, Housekeeping telemetry processing and Image Reconstruction are performed at this level. The only processing done is typically the removal of duplicate data points (due to multiple file sends or a solid state recorder overlap), the removal or minimal repair of bad r/f data, the sorting of the different APIDs, and the matching of the end of one packet to the beginning of the next. The images taken by an instrument are left "as is" - not manipulated, not flat-fielded nor otherwise calibrated. All of the Level Zero data is recorded in the JSOC DRMS (database). In principle the level-0 data could be converted back to telemetry formatted data and is thus redundant with it but is in a more easily usable form using standard data storage protocols. JSOC image data is stored in compressed FITS files. JSOC metadata is stored in DRMS records but may be exported in several standard protocols (e.g. as part of exported FITS format images or tab delimited text tables).
