NAME New Horizons Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) Post-Launch Checkout Partially Processed Data
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This data set contains Partially Processed data in .FIT format taken by New Horizons Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera instrument during the LAUNCH mission phase. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset: NH-X-MVIC-3-LAUNCH-V2.0. The Post-Launch mission phase was used mainly for checkout, commissioning and calibration of the Ralph instruments (LEISA and MVIC). This version includes data downlinked from 01/19/2006 through 01/01/2007. Labels were redesigned during migration using the .FIT header and PDS3 .LBL files, but the data files are unchanged from their PDS3 version.
