DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
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: Sequence IDs & start times (end times are the start times of the following Sequence IDs) for the LORRI instrument during the JUPITER phase of the New Horizons Mission : Sequence ID: JELO_JOBSATM01 Start UTC: 2007-01-08T21:42:00 Start SCLK: 1/0030598437:30878 Description: JUPITER; Jupiter images - observatory phase; LORRI - 11 hours a day Sequence ID: JELO_JOBSATM02 Start UTC: 2007-01-09T17:42:00 Start SCLK: 1/0030670437:30874 Description: JUPITER; Jupiter images - observatory phase; LORRI - 11 hours a day Sequence ID: JELO_RLORCAL01 Start UTC: 2007-01-10T04:45:00 Start SCLK: 1/0030710217:30871 Description: CALLIRRHOE; KBO OpNav using RCM; Timing from -6 to -6.5 days, Sequence ID: JELO_JOBSATM03 Start UTC: 2007-01-14T17:42:00 Start SCLK: 1/0031102437:30851 Description: JUPITER; Jupiter images - observatory phase; LORRI - 11 hours a day Sequence ID: JELO_JOBSATM04 Start UTC: 2007-01-15T13:42:00 Start SCLK: 1/0031174437:30847 Description: JUPITER; Jupiter images - observatory phase; LORRI - 11 hours a day Sequence ID: JELO_JKODAK01 Start UTC: 2007-01-17T01:41:00 Start SCLK: 1/0031303977:30840 Description: IO; Double Shadow Transit; Timing from -6 to -6.5 days, Sequence ID: JELO_JOBSATM05 Start UTC: 2007-01-20T23:42:00 Start SCLK: 1/0031642437:30822 Description: JUPITER; Jupiter images - observatory phase; LORRI - 11 hours a day Sequence ID: JELO_JOBSATM06 Start UTC: 2007-01-21T19:42:00 Start SCLK: 1/0031714437:30818 Description: JUPITER; Jupiter images - observatory phase; LORRI - 11 hours a day Sequence ID: JELO_JKODAK02 Start UTC: 2007-01-24T04:41:00 Start SCLK: 1/0031919577:30806 Description: JUPITER; Double Shadow Transit; Timing from -6 to -6.5 days, Sequence ID: JELO_JKODAK03 Start UTC: 2007-02-10T13:40:00 Start SCLK: 1/0033420717:30712 Description: JUPITER; Full disk at max resolution; Timing from -6 to -6.5 days, Sequence ID: JELO_JLORGHOST01 Start UTC: 2007-02-21T04:45:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034339017:30644 Description: JUPITER; Ghost test; Timing from -6 to -6.5 days, Sequence ID: JELO_ISUNMON01 Start UTC: 2007-02-24T00:40:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034583517:30624 Description: IO; Approach monitoring, Pele on limb; 02/23/07 05:42 - 02/23/07 06:12 Sequence ID: JELO_ISUNMON02 Start UTC: 2007-02-24T05:00:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034599117:30622 Description: IO; Approach monitoring ; Timing flexible Sequence ID: JELO_RSATSRCH01 Start UTC: 2007-02-24T05:30:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034600917:30622 Description: ANSA; Jupiter ring - search for embedded moons; Timing from -6 to -6.5 days, Sequence ID: JELO_ISUNMON03 Start UTC: 2007-02-24T13:50:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034630917:30620 Description: IO; Approach monitoring ; Timing flexible Sequence ID: JELO_RPHASE01 Start UTC: 2007-02-25T02:30:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034676517:30615 Description: ANSA; Jupiter ring - phase curve; Timing from -6 to -6.5 days, Sequence ID: JELO_ISUNMON05 Start UTC: 2007-02-25T05:00:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034685517:30614 Description: IO; Approach monitoring ; Timing flexible Sequence ID: JELO_ISUNMON06 Start UTC: 2007-02-25T08:30:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034698117:30613 Description: IO; Approach monitoring ; Timing flexible Sequence ID: JELO_GECLIPSE01 Start UTC: 2007-02-25T09:00:00 Start SCLK: 1/0034699917:30613 Description: GANYMEDE; Eclipse; 02/25/07 09:35 Need to know how the data taking is spread through the eclipse period.

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. 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 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.

CATALOG LORRI.CAT DOCUMENTS LORRI_SSR.* NH_LORRI_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 ACHENG as described in PERSONNEL.CAT.
