Note: Survey-based Quicklook and Level-1 products are planned to be used for SITL analysis. FPI is planning to produce a SITL-specific productNOTES from April 9:  How to deal with spacecraft-level ... seems to be missing. Roy mentioned that we may need to break L2 into subcategories.  Level 2A and 2B.
