[Landsat-pds] IMD Files?

[Sundwall, Jed]

Yeah, it looks like they’re metadata files for each band of each scene. I’m wondering if USGS is sending these over in recent .tars. The fact that they’re showing up in the index.html files means that they’re present before the ingestor script creates the index.html preview.
