DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION 
Data Set Overview
      =================
      This dataset contains the results obtained from the Dust Impact
      Detection System (DIDSY) flown aboard the GIOTTO spacecraft during
      its extended mission to Comet P/Grigg-Skjellerup in 1992.  The
      measurements and analysis of the three impacts detected during close
      approach are contained in text files.  Calibration tables for the
      sensors are included in this dataset.
 
 
      Parameters
      ==========
      The timing and masses of the impacting meteroid are tabulated within
      the DOCUMENT file, 'didtext.doc'.
 
 
      Processing
      ==========
      See the 'didtext.doc' file for details of the data processing and
      analysis.
 
      For PDS ingest, the shield map files were each pulled out of the
      original text file and formatted as separate PDS TABLE files, each
      with its own label.
 
 
      Data
      ====
      The data set consists of four files:
 
         didtext.doc       An early draft of a paper published in April
                           1993 as a Letter to Nature.  This file provides
                           a description of the experiment, presents the
                           results and includes a discussion of the data
                           analysis
         did2map.tab       These files contain the bumper shield maps for
         did3map.tab       each of the three sensors active during the
         did4map.tab       flyby.  The maps indicate relative sensitivity
                           of each area on the shield compared to a direct
                           impact on the sensor.
 
      Ancillary Data
      ==============
      There is no ancillary data to this data set.
 
      Coordinate System
      =================
      See the analysis section of the 'didtext.doc' file for a description
      of the geometry of the impacts.
 
      Software
      ========
      Not applicable.
 
      Media/Format
      ============
      These data are available as part of the Giotto Extended Mission CDROM.

      See the 'didtext.doc' file for a discussion of the analysis procedure
      as well as the effects of the previous encounter with Comet P/Halley
      on the DIDSY sensitivity at P/Grigg-Skjellerup.
 
      Review
      ======
      These data were reviewed for ingest into the PDS permanent archives in
      December 1995.
 
      Data Coverage and Quality
      =========================
