Data Set Overview : This data set contains Calibrated data taken by New Horizons Alice UV Imager instrument during the JUPITER mission phase. During the Jupiter flyby phase, the Alice instrument observed: Jupiter, Io and its torus, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. Types of observations included UV spectra of the targets as well as eclipses and stellar occultations. Every observation provided in this data set was taken as a part of a particular sequence. A list of these sequences follows: Sequence IDs & start times (end times are the start times of the following Sequence IDs) for the ALICE instrument during the JUPITER phase of the New Horizons Mission : Sequence ID: JEAL_JALICECAL01 Start UTC: 2007-01-06T20:00:00 Description: JUPITER; Alice 501-504; Main objective to ensure a safe atonomous HV Ramp Sequence ID: JEAL_EALICECAL01 Start UTC: 2007-01-27T08:00:00 Description: EUROPA; Alice pt source Sequence ID: JEAL_EALICECAL02 Start UTC: 2007-02-15T11:42:00 Description: EUROPA; Alice point source Sequence ID: JEAL_JOCC03 Start UTC: 2007-02-22T16:23:00 Description: FJUPITER; Stellar occultation, ingress (preferred); 3/4/2007 7:40:00 PM.

Sequence ID: JEAL_JALICECAL02 Start UTC: 2007-03-07T16:00:00 Description: EARTH; Will be moved to coincide with a DSN pass in this time-frame/ Alice SOC door opening Sequence ID: JEAL_SALICECAL01 Start UTC: 2007-03-10T16:00:00 Description: STAR; Alice - SOC occultation test For the list of observations and their parameters, refer to the data set index table (typically INDEX.TAB & CUMINDEX.TAB, initially in the /INDEX/ area of the data set). Time : There are several time systems, or units, in use in this dataset: New Horizons spacecraft MET (Mission Event Time or Mission Elapsed Time), UTC (Coordinated Universal Time), and TDB Barycentric Dynamical Time. This section will give a summary description of the relationship between these time systems. For a complete explanation of these time systems the reader is referred to the documentation distributed with the NAIF/SPICE toolkit from the NAIF PDS node. The most common time unit associated with the data is is the spacecraft MET. MET is a 32-bit counter on the New Horizons spacecraft that runs at a rate of about one increment per second starting from a value of zero at 19.January, 2006 18:08:02 UTC or JD2453755.256337 TDB. The leapsecond adjustment (DELTA_ET : ET - UTC) over this dataset is 65.184s. The data labels for any given product in this dataset usually contain at least one pair of common UTC and MET representations of the time at the middle of the observation. Other portions of the products, for example tables of data taken over periods of up to a day or more, will only have the MET time associated with a given row of the table. For the data user's use in interpreting these times, a reasonable approximation (+/- 1s) of the conversion between Julian Day (TDB) and MET is as follows: JD TDB : 2453755.256337 + ( MET / 86399.9998693 ) For more accurate calculations the reader is referred to the NAIF/SPICE documentation as mentioned above. Processing : The data in this data set were created by a software data processing pipeline on the Science Operation Center (SOC) at the Southwest Research Institute (SWRI), Department of Space Studies. This SOC pipeline assembled data as FITS files from raw telemetry packets sent down by the spacecraft and populated the data labels with housekeeping and engineering values, and computed geometry parameters using SPICE kernels. The pipeline did not resample the data. Data : The observations in this data set are stored in data files using standard Flexible Image Transport Sytem (FITS) format. Each FITS file has a corresponding detached PDS label file, named according to a common convention. The FITS files have image and/or table extensions; see the PDS label plus the DOCUMENT files for a description of these extensions and their contents. This Data section comprises the following sub-topics: - Filename/Product IDs - CODMAC Level 3 ALICE data details - Instrument description - Visit Description, Visit Number, and Target in the Data Labels - Unresolved Liens on the Data Filename/Product IDs -------------------- The filenames and product IDs of observations adhere to a common convention e.g. ALI_0123456789_0X0AB_ENG_1.FIT ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^ ^\__/ | | | | | ^^ | | | | | | | | | | | +--File type (includes dot) | | | | | - .FIT for FITS file | | | | | - .LBL for PDS label | | | | | - not part of product ID | | | | | | | | | +-- Version number from the SOC | | | | (Science Operations Center) | | | | | | | +--ENG for CODMAC Level 2 data * | | | SCI for CODMAC Level 3 data * | | | | | +--Application ID (ApID) of the telemetry data | | packet from which the data come | | | +--MET (Mission Event Time) i.e. Spacecraft Clock | +--Instrument/observation designator * For those datasets where the NH project is delivering CODMAC Level 1 & 2 data (REX & PEPSSI), ENG and SCI apply to CODMAC Level 1 & 2 data, respectively.

See the documentation for more details. Here is a summary of the types of files generated by each APiD: ApIDs Data product description : : 0x4b0 - ALICE Pixel List Lossless (CDH 1) 0x4b1 - ALICE Pixel List Packetized (CDH 1) 0x4b4 - ALICE Pixel List Lossless (CDH 2) 0x4b5 - ALICE Pixel List Packetized (CDH 2) 0x4b2 - ALICE Histogram Lossless (CDH 1) 0x4b3 - ALICE Histogram Packetized (CDH 1) 0x4b6 - ALICE Histogram Lossless (CDH 2) 0x4b7 - ALICE Histogram Packetized (CDH 2) Instrument description ---------------------- Refer to the following files for a description of this instrument. CATALOG ALICE.CAT DOCUMENTS ALICE_SSR.* NH_ALICE_V###_TI.TXT (### is a version number) SOC_INST_ICD.* Visit Description, Visit Number, and Target in the Data Labels --------------------------------------------------------------- The observation sequences were defined in Science Activity Planning (SAP) documents, and grouped by Visit Description and Visit Number. The SAPs are spreadsheets with one Visit Description & Number per row. A nominal target is also included on each row and included in the data labels, but does not always match with the TARGET_NAME field's value in the data labels. In some cases, the target was designated as RA,DEC pointing values in the form ``RADEC:123.45,-12.34'' indicating Right Ascension and Declination, in degrees, of the target from the spacecraft in the Earth Equatorial J2000 inertial reference frame. This indicates either that the target was either a star, or that the target's ephemeris was not loaded into the spacecraft's attitude and control system which in turn meant the spacecraft could not be pointed at the target by a body identifier and an inertial pointing value had to be specified as Right Ascension and Declination values. The PDS standards do not allow putting a value like RADEC:... in the PDS TARGET_NAME keyword's value; in those cases the PDS TARGET_NAME value is set to CALIBRATION. Unresolved Liens on the Data ---------------------------- None exist at the present time. Ancillary Data : The geometry items included in the data labels were computed using the SPICE kernels archived in the New Horizons SPICE data set, NH-X-SPICE-6-JUPITER-V1.0. Reference Frame : Geometric Parameter Reference Frame ----------------------------------- Earth Mean Equator and Vernal Equinox of J2000 (EMEJ2000) is the inertial reference frame used to specify observational geometry items provided in the data labels. Geometric parameters are based on best available SPICE data at time of data creation. Epoch of Geometric Parameters ----------------------------- All geometric parameters provided in the data labels were computed at the epoch midway between the START_TIME and STOP_TIME label fields. Software : The observations in this data set are in standard FITS format with PDS labels, and can be viewed by a number of PDS-provided and commercial programs. For this reason no special software is provided with this data set. Contact Information : For any questions regarding the data format of the archive, contact the person whose PDS_USER_ID is ASTERN as described in PERSONNEL.CAT.
