As such, no processes have been applied to the data other than decompression and reformatting as cubes. Data ==== The data are in PDS format. A detailed description of the data format is given in the VIR SIS document located in the DOCUMENT directory of this data set. Ancillary Data ============== No ancillary data included in this data set. Coordinate System ================= The geometry items SC_SUN_POSITION_VECTOR, SC_TARGET_POSITION_VECTOR and SC_TARGET_VELOCITY_VECTOR provided in the label of the data product are relative to the Earth Mean Equator frame of J2000. SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE, SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE are given in the PLANETOCENTRIC coordinate system. These parameters are corrected for planetary and stellar aberrations. Distances are given in km, angles in degrees. " CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE = " Confidence Level Overview ========================= Data confidence is nominal, meaning that all data have been validated by the VIR team and found as expected. Any exceptions are noted by the DATA_QUALITY field in the label files. Following the loss of the 2nd reaction wheel during Vesta departure, Dawn had to rely on the RCS thrusters, rather than reaction wheels, to maintain pointing. While the Dawn system does not employ true dead-banding, the net result of the thruster firings is to introduce pointing offsets of up to +/- 0.64 degrees in +X and +Y, and rates of up to 0.01 degrees/second (or ~ 0.7 VIR pixels/second). The combination of long VIR integration times with large pointing and pointing rate errors complicates interpreting the data acquired as normal spectral cubes. When Dawn is near to Ceres, the timing of the thruster firings is moderately predicable with the most common attitude near one of the deadband limits. When Dawn is far from its selected target the thruster firing is more random and the impact of not being pointed at Ceres nadir is amplified. This is especially apparent in the VIR cubes since each frame of the cube effectively has its own pointing. During Approach and RC3, Ceres is highly distored in the raw data cubes and care must taken to properly correct the geometry when calibrating and interpretting these data. Review ====== These are the same data files that were utilized by the Dawn Science Team. Any errors or deficiencies reported by the Science Team were corrected by the VIR team. Note, however, that the geometry information provided in the PDS labels was updated to reflect the IAU coordinate system updated to Dawn derived pole right ascension and declination values. A full PDS peer review was conducted of all products in this data set. Data Coverage and Quality ========================= Data coverage is good unless otherwise noted by the DATA_QUALITY keyword. Dropouts that may be observed in some images are due to instrument saturation. The spectral range in which these dropouts occur varies depending upon exposure duration, target topography, and incidence angle. The spacecraft safed as it entered the RC3 mission phase. As a result, the cubes in the first rotation of the RC3 Equatorial Limb 001 (South) high phase observations were lost. The VIR instrument reset in Survey cycles 4 and 8 before any science data were discharged to spacecraft memory so these data were completely lost. Prior to and during the first few orbits of the Survey mission phase, the VIR cryocooler began showing signs of aging. As a result, Survey cycles 5 and 7 were acquired in VIS-only mode with the cryocooler turned off to preserve it for use during the HAMO mission phase. During the HAMO mission phase, the cryocooler set point was raised from 75 deg Kelvin to 80 deg Kelvin to reduce the strain on the cooler. There is a slight decrease in the signal to noise ratio as a result of running the cooler at a warmer temperature. Cycles 3 and 5 of HAMO were acquired in IR-only mode in order to increase the number of IR frames that could be acquired. Orbit 6 of HAMO cycle 1 was also an IR-only orbit. After HAMO sequences were initially built and delivered to the Dawn project, the team decided to reduce the repetition time between frames in each cube. This reduced the size of the gaps between frames within cubes but increased the gaps between cubes.
