Data Set Abstract |
This data set contains Raw data taken by the New Horizons
Student Dust Counter
instrument during the
pluto cruise
mission phase. This is VERSION 2.0 of this data set.
SDC collected science data intermittently during the hibernation
years following the Jupiter encounter, designated as the PLUTOCRUISE
phase. There were also Annual Checkouts (ACOs), STIM calibrations,
Noise calibrations, and an anomaly in November, 2007.
SDC's main science data collection periods were during hibernation.
During ACOs, science data are taken intermittently but the user must
be careful in analyzing these data since there is usually more
activity on the spacecraft during hibernation. STIM and Noise refer
to scheduled calibrations and are done with a regular cadence of one
per year after the Jupiter encounter; they occurred sporadically in
the early years of the mission.
Note that some SDC data files have the same stop and start time and
a zero exposure time. The reason for this is that the start and
stop time for SDC data files are the event times for the first and
last events in the files, so for files that contain a single event,
these two values are the same.
The changes in Version 2.0 were re-running of the ancillary data
in the data product, updated geometry from newer SPICE kernels,
minor editing of the documentation, catalogs, etc., and resolution
of liens from the December, 2014 review, plus those from the May,
2016 review of the Pluto Encounter data sets.
New observations added with this version (V2.0) include ongoing
cruise observations from August, 2014 through January, 2015. |
