Collection Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:nh_mvic:pluto_raw::1.0
NAME New Horizons Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) Pluto Encounter Raw Data
TYPE Data
DESCRIPTION This collection contains a set of raw images tables in .FIT format for the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) instrument during the PLUTO ENCOUNTER mission phase. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset: NH-P-MVIC-2-PLUTO-V3.0. 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. Labels were redesigned during migration using the .FIT header and PDS3 .LBL files, but the data files are unchanged from their PDS3 version.
