NAME New Horizons KEM1 Encounter Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) Raw Data
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This data set contains Raw data taken by the New Horizons Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) instrument during the KEM1 ENCOUNTER mission phase. This version includes data acquired by the spacecraft between 08/14/2018 and 04/30/2022. It only includes data downlinked before 05/01/2022. The data includes functional tests and images during the approach and departure of Arrokoth. A look back at Pluto was also performed after the Arrokoth flyby. A Color Scan of Neptune and Uranus was done along with a Solar Star Calibration and Radiometric Calibration. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset: NH-A-MVIC-2-KEM1-V6.0. Labels were redesigned during migration using the .FIT header and PDS3 .LBL files, but the data files are unchanged from their PDS3 version.
