NAME New Horizons Alice Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph Pluto Encounter Calibrated Data
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This collection contains a set of raw images in .FIT format for the New Horizons Alice Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph instrument during the PLUTO ENCOUNTER mission phase. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset: NH-P-ALICE-3-PLUTO-V3.0. This version includes data downlinked from 1/31/2016 through 10/31/2016. This data set contains MVIC observations taken during the the Approach (Jan-Jul, 2015), Encounter, Departure, and Transition mission sub-phases, including flyby observations taken on 14 July, 2015, and departure and calibration data through late October, 2016. It includes multi-map and Lyman-alpha observations of Pluto and Charon, histograms of the Pluto system moons, and a number of calibration observations of Rho Leo and other stars. Labels were redesigned during migration using the .FIT header and PDS3 .LBL files, but the data files are unchanged from their PDS3 version.
