Data Set Overview
=================
This data set contains Calibrated data taken by New Horizons
Long Range Reconnaissance Imager
instrument during the JUPITER mission phase.
Science observations for the Jupiter Phase began with
observations of Jupiter on 2007 January 8 and ended on 2007
March 7 with observations of Himalia, a Jovian irregular
satellite. LORRI acquired extensive observations of the Jovian
system during this time. Images of the Jovian atmosphere and
clouds included full disk rotation movies, as well as resolved
images of selected features like the Great Red Spot and the
Little Red Spot. An imaging campaign was executed to observe the
Jovian ring system and associated small satellites. Observing
campaigns were also performed to image each of the Galilean
satellites, but with particular attention to Io under both
sunlit and eclipse conditions, and with eclipse observations of
both Europa and Ganymede. Images were also acquired of the small
irregular satellites Elara and Himalia. On 2007 January 10,
LORRI observed the Jovian irregular satellite Callirrhoe as part
of an Optical Navigation test of relative control mode (RCM),
which is a special guidance and control mode to be used for the
initial acquisition of a KBO, if an extended mission is
approved. On 2007 February 21 LORRI executed a mosaic centered
on Jupiter to obtain scattered light data. LORRI took a series
of images on 2007 February 28 while the spacecraft was scanned
across Jupiter's terminator, in an attempt to acquire in-flight
flat field measurements.
Every observation provided in this data set was taken as a part of a
particular sequence. A list of these sequences follows:

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.
Calibration
===========
Detailed information about calibration of LORRI images is available
in the SOC Instrument Interface Control Document (ICD) in the
DOCUMENT section of this data set. The LORRI calibration will only
be briefly summarized here.
The calibration of LORRI images involves all of the following steps
in order:
1) Bias subtraction
2) Signal linearization
3) Charge transfer inefficiency (CTI) correction
4) Dark subtraction
5) Smear removal
6) Flat-fielding
7) Absolute calibration (conversion to radiance units)
Ground testing has demonstrated that the linearization, CTI and
dark subtraction steps are not necessary i.e. the output from the
Bias subtraction step may be passed directly to Smear removal step.
Ongoing in-flight calibration observations will be analyzed to
assess the long term stability of the calibration, including whether
the currently unused steps may need to be implemented in the future.
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
- Other sources of information useful in interpreting these Data
- CODMAC Level 3 LORRI 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.

| | | | | +--File type (includes dot)
| | | | | - .FIT for FITS file

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.
