Data Set Overview :  This data set contains Calibrated data taken by New Horizons Solar Wind Around Pluto instrument during the JUPITER mission phase.  During the Jupiter mission phase, SWAP used two voltage sweeping plans: plan 0 and plan 5. Plan 0 was designed for solar wind observations with the RPA voltage set to 105% of the center energy of the ESA passband below 2000eV. Above 2000eV the RPA was turned off and only the ESA was operated. In plan 0 coarse-fine scans were performed. In plan 5 the RPA was off for the entire energy sweep.  From 01/07/2007 11:08:51 to 2/21/2007 16:42:42 SWAP was in plan 0 taking 2 minutes of data approximately every 2 hours. At 2/21/2007 17:27:31 the science team kept the plan number set at 0 and changed the the data rate such that SWAP took 1 coarse and 1 fine scan every 5 minutes. Then at 02/25/2007 19:22:43 the team switched to plan 5 which had the RPA off and did two coarse scans in 64 seconds every 5 minutes. From 04/14/2007 22:13:23 to 04/16/2007 06:41:06 SWAP was in plan 0, and from 04/22/2007 10:45:23 onward SWAP mostly in plan 5 until it was changed back to plan 0.  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 SWAP instrument during the JUPITER phase of the New Horizons Mission :  Sequence ID: JESW_PLACEHOLDER Start UTC: 2007-01-01T00:00:00 Start SCLK: 1/0029915517:30912 Description: The SWAP instrument did not have any sequenced data taken during Jupiter encounter. This entry is only a placeholder to cover any data that exist.  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.

CATALOG  SWAP.CAT  DOCUMENTS  SWAP_SSR.* NH_SWAP_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 DMCCOMAS as described in PERSONNEL.CAT.

Confidence Level Overview : During the processing of the data in preparation for delivery with this volume, the packet data associated with each observation were used only if they passed a rigorous verification process including standard checksums.  In addition, raw (Level 2) observation data for which adequate contemporary housekeeping and other ancillary data are not available are not reduced to calibrated (Level 3) data. This issue is raised here to explain why some data products in the raw data set,  NH-J-SWAP-2-JUPITER-V2.0,  do not have corresponding data products in the calibrated data set,  NH-J-SWAP-3-JUPITER-V2.0.   Review : The data have been reviewed and validated by the instrument team members, as well as by SOC personnel.   SWAP updates for Data Sets V2.0 :   New columns in REAL_TIME data extension ---------------------------------------  Added the center energy for given RPA and ESA voltages to the REAL_TIME data extension. The column names are ENERGY_0 and ENERGY_1 in eV and correspond to the 1st and 2nd measurement in a given packet (row).   Calibration corrections -----------------------  Corrected the background subtraction. Corrected a rounding error in the time used to calculate the spin angles in the SPICE extension and fixed a small offset in the times for the spectrogram in the TIME_LABEL_SPECT extension.   Miscellaneous calibration corrections -------------------------------------  Added 1-day and 10-day plots under the documents directory in a folder called data_summary plots.
