Data Set Overview
    =================

    This dataset contains raw counts from the CONTOUR Forward Imager (CFI)
instrument during ground calibration in the Optical Calibration Facility
(OCF) at JHU/APL in 2002.

Because contact was lost with the CONTOUR spacecraft
one month after launch, there is no mission data to be archived for this
mission, but ground calibration data and this documentation CD have been
archived to document the work completed at that point and to
support future comet flyby missions.

The data archived was taken from individual instruments in the
Optical Calibration Facility, and may differ from data taken with the
instruments installed on the spacecraft.

The flight calibration images needed to complete the calibration software
were never taken.  The archived calibration software is therefore
incomplete.
