DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview  :   This data set contains Raw data taken by New Horizons  Long Range Reconnaissance Imager  instrument during the PLUTO mission phase.   LORRI is a narrow angle (Field Of View, FOV : 0.29 degree square), high  resolution (5 microradian/pixel), telescope. A two-dimensional (2-D) CCD detector, with 1024x1024 pixels (optically active region) operates in  standard frame-transfer mode. LORRI can also perform on-chip 4x4 binning to produce images of 256x256 pixels. LORRI has no color filters and so  provides panchromatic imaging over a wide bandpass extending  approximately from 350 nm to 850 nm. The common data product is a 2-D  image of brightnesses that can be calibrated to physical units once  color spectrum information is known. Refer to DOCUMENT/SOC_INST_ICD.*  for more detail.   During the Pluto Charon Encounter mission phase starting in January,  2015, there were several sub-phases: three Approach sub-phases, (AP1,  AP2 and AP3); a CORE sequence for the Pluto flyby on 14 July, 2015  (Day Of Year 195), sometimes also referred to as NEP (Near-Encounter  Phase); three Departure sub-phases (DP1, DP2, DP3); a Transition  sub-phase closing out the Pluto Encounter mission phase ending in late  October, 2016. For this final LORRI delivery for the Pluto mission  phase, this data set includes the Approach data plus all CORE,  Departure and Transition sequences' data downlinked through the end of  October, 2016, including observations of Trans-Neptunian Object (TNO)  15810 Arawn (1994 JR1) and a low-resolution ring search taken in  November, 2015. Transition activities in 2016 include observations of  several KBOs and a calibration campaign.   This dataset includes (1) Non-Critical and Critical Optical Navigation  (OpNav) observations; (2) Hazard observations; (3) Observations of  Pluto, Charon, Nix, Hydra, Kerberos, and Styx during Approach; (4)  Pluto Encounter observations, from the day before and the day of  encounter; (5) Departure observations of Pluto; (6) Departure and  Transition observations of TNOs and calibration stars.   Optical Navigation images, identified by NAV in the observation name,  were taken regularly up until 2 days before closest approach. This  dataset also includes three OpNav images from 2 days after closest  approach.   Hazard observations were taken in order to perform a detailed search  for any objects that could only be seen as the spacecraft neared the  Pluto system. Sets of images were taken about every two weeks starting  two months before closest approach. Each set had 8 images, with a  mosaic of 4 images at two different roll angles.   Approach observation objectives were to search for changes with pan  imaging over multiple rotations, perform satellite photometry to  further resolve the orbits of Kerberos, Styx, and possible other  bodies, and image Nix and Hydra.   Encounter observation objectives were to obtain maximum resolution  imaging of the entire surface of Pluto and Charon at regular  longitudinal intervals for cartographic knowledge; to observe Pluto  and Charon at a small (12-30 degrees) solar phase angle to support  phase integrals; and to obtain regional stereo images of Pluto for  stereographic mapping at the highest possible resolution, which is  essential for understanding the relief of features on Pluto, and  understanding the magnitude of geologic processes and the origin of  geologic features.   Transition observation objectives were to obtain imaging of several  KBOs including a light curve sequence of 15810 Arawn, and to execute a  post-Pluto calibration campaign to feed back into the calibration of  encounter data.   Every observation provided in this data set was taken as a part of a  particular sequence. A list of these sequences has been provided in  file DOCUMENT/SEQ_LORRI_PLUTO.TAB.  N.B. Some sequences provided may have no corresponding observations.   For a list of observations, refer to the data set index table. This  is typically INDEX.TAB initially in the INDEX/ area of the data set.  There is also a file SLIMINDX.TAB in INDEX/ that summarizes key  information relevant to each observation, including which sequence  was in effect and what target was likely intended for the  observation.    Version  :   This is VERSION 3.0 of this data set.   The TARGET_NAME values were expanded and made more consistent across  all instruments with version 3.0 of the data set.   General statement about data set versions after V1.0  ----------------------------------------------------  The pipeline (see Processing below) was re-run on these data for each  version since the first (V1.0). That will typically change only the  FITS headers but not the FITS data of raw data sets. In some cases  this may change the calibration because the calculated geometry of an  observation has changed. See data set version-specific sections below  for significant exceptions to this general statement, i.e. changes to  pipeline processing, calibration processing, and data delivered.   An all-instrument Calibration Campaign occurred in July 2016. For all  instruments, calibrations were updated as of April 2017 which changed  the data in the calibrated data sets. Calibration changes are described  in the data set version-specific sections.   Note that even if this is not a calibrated data set, calibration  changes are listed as the data will have been re-run and there will be  updates to the calibration files, to the documentation (Science  Operations Center - Instrument Interface Control Document:  SOC_INST_ICD) and to the steps required to calibrate the data.     LORRI updates for Pluto Encounter  Data Sets V3.0  :   This P3 Pluto Encounter dataset release includes all data from the  previous two Pluto deliveries and adds data that was downlinked from  1/31/2016 through 10/31/2016. This dataset completes delivery of all  data covering the Pluto Encounter and subsequent Calibration Campaign.   This dataset contains data from the Pluto Encounter timeframe as well  as two ring search observations and imaging of the KBO plutino JR1 in  November of 2015.

There were minor changes to the level 2 LORRI calibration process, as  well as to the LORRI calibration constants for the final Pluto P3 PDS  delivery.   The process change involves gap removal during calibration. Files  with gaps come in many flavors, depending on where the gap lies within  the image. This update recognizes some additional possiblities, mainly  that the gap might be close to the bottom or top of the image (and  therefore the previous algorithm would fail because it filled the gap  with median pixel info from both above and below the gap). The new  algorithm will take the info from one side of the gap exclusively,  when appropriate.   As of V3.0, targets for some stars and radio sources have been updated  so that the TARGET_NAME keyword in the label is accurate and more  descriptive than only STAR or CALIBRATION. However the user should  confirm that targets from the data FITS files, if applicable for a  given instrument, match the label name, as there are a few instances  where the FITS keywords for TARGET, SPCCBTNM, and PNTMTHD are not  accurate. The simplest way to check is to instead look at the RA  and Dec in the keywords SPCBRRA and SPCBRDEC in the FITS file.  This issue mostly only occurs with star targets.     LORRI updates for Pluto Encounter  Data Sets V2.0  :    This P2 Pluto Encounter dataset release provides updates to the Pluto  dataset between P1 (data on the ground by 7/31/2015) and P2 (data on  the ground by 1/31/2016). This dataset contains data that may have  been downlinked with lossy compression initially and now has been  re-downlinked losslessly. Lossy data from P1 has been regenerated to  increase the number of flagged bad pixels in the quality map. All  liens from the initial Pluto delivery have also now been resolved.  This dataset contains data from the Pluto Encounter timeframe as well  as two ring search observations and imaging of the KBO plutino JR1 in  November of 2015.

data  processing pipeline on the Science Operations Center (SOC) at  the Southwest Research Institute (SwRI), Department of Space Operations. 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.   The first 34 pixels (51 bytes) of each LORRI image contain housekeeping  information. These bytes are corrupted by LOSSY compression. Please  refer to the DOCUMENT/SOC_INST_ICD.* file for details and implications  in raw and calibrated datasets.    Data  :   The observations in this data set are stored in data files using  standard Flexible Image Transport System (FITS) format. Each FITS  file has a corresponding detached PDS label file, named according  to a common convention. The FITS files may 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  - Instrument description  - Other sources of information useful in interpreting these Data  - Visit Description, Visit Number, and Target in the Data Labels    Filename/Product IDs  --------------------   The filenames and product IDs of observations adhere to a  common convention e.g.   LOR_0123456789_0X630_ENG.FIT  ^^^ ^^^^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^\__/  | | | | ^^  | | | | |  | | | | +--File type (includes dot)  | | | | - .FIT for FITS file  | | | | - .LBL for PDS label  | | | | - not part of product ID  | | | |  | | | +--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  | | N.B.

The MET is the time that the data are  transferred from the instrument to spacecraft memory and is therefore  not a reliable indicator of the actual observation time. The PDS label  and the index tables are better sources to use for the actual timing of  any observation. The specific keywords and index table column names for which to look are   * START_TIME  * STOP_TIME  * SPACECRAFT_CLOCK_START_COUNT  * SPACECRAFT_CLOCK_STOP_COUNT    Instrument Instrument designators ApIDs **  : : :  LORRI LOR 0X630 - 0X63B *   * Not all values in this range are in this data set  ** ApIDs are case insensitive   There are other ApIDs that contain housekeeping values and  other values.

CATALOG   LORRI.CAT   DOCUMENTS   LORRI_SSR.*  SOC_INST_ICD.*  NH_LORRI_V###_TI.TXT (### is a version number)    Other sources of information useful in interpreting these Data  --------------------------------------------------------------   Refer to the following files for more information about these data   NH Trajectory tables:   /DOCUMENT/NH_MISSION_TRAJECTORY.* - Heliocentric   LORRI Field Of View definitions:   /DOCUMENT/NH_FOV.*  /DOCUMENT/NH_LORRI_V###_TI.TXT     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. PDS-SBN  practices 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. TARGET_NAME may be N/A (Not Available or Not  Applicable) for a few observations in this data set; typically that  means the observation is a functional test so N/A is an appropriate  entry for those targets, but the PDS user should also check the  NEWHORIZONS:OBSERVATION_DESC and NEWHORIZONS:SEQUENCE_ID keywords in  the PDS label, plus the provided sequence list (see Ancillary Data  below) to assess the possibility that there was an intended target.  These two keywords are especially useful for STAR targets as often  stars are used as part of instrument calibrations, and are  included as part of the sequencing description which is captured  in these keywords.     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-PLUTO-V1.0.   Every observation provided in this data set was taken as a part of a  particular sequence. A list of these sequences has been provided in  file DOCUMENT/SEQ_LORRI_PLUTO.TAB. In addition, the  sequence identifier (ID) and description are included in the PDS label  for every observation. N.B. While every observation has an associated  sequence, every sequence may not have associated observations. Some  sequences may have failed to execute due to spacecraft events (e.g.  safing). No attempt has been made during the preparation of this data  set to identify such empty sequences, so it is up to the user to  compare the times of the sequences to the times of the available  observations from INDEX/INDEX.TAB to identify such sequences.    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 Navigation and Ancillary Information  Facility (NAIF) SPICE toolkit from the PDS NAIF node, (see  http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/).   The most common time unit associated with the data 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) was 65.184s at  NH launch, and the first three additional leapseconds occurred  in at the ends of December, 2009, June, 2012 and June, 2015.  Refer to the NH SPICE data set, NH-J/P/SS-SPICE-6-V1.0, and the  SPICE toolkit documentation, for more details about leapseconds.   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.    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.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE
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  may not be reduced to calibrated (Level 3) data. This issue is raised  here to explain why some data products in the raw data set,   NH-P-LORRI-2-PLUTO-V3.0,   may not have corresponding data products in the calibrated data set,   NH-P-LORRI-3-PLUTO-V3.0.    Data coverage and quality  :  Every observation provided in this data set was taken as a part of a  particular sequence. A list of these sequences has been provided in  file DOCUMENT/SEQ_LORRI_PLUTO.TAB. N.B. Some sequences  provided may have zero corresponding observations.   Refer to the Confidence Level Overview section above for a summary  of steps taken to assure data quality.   The LORRI instrument replaces the first 34 12-bit pixels of each  LORRI image (408 bits; 51 bytes) with encoded binary header  information, so those first 34 pixel values in the first row are not  representative of the brightness of the imaged scene at those  locations; these pixels are in the bottom-left corner of images  displayed left-to-right and bottom-to-top. Furthermore, if the image  was LOSSY-compressed before downlink (ApIDs 0x632, 0x635, 0x638,  0x63B *), the header information corrupts the first 40 pixels of the  first 8 rows of the image because of the Discrete Cosine Transform  compression algorithm. The SOC pipeline extracts these data into the  FIRST34 extension of LORRI FITS files, which is also corrupt in  LOSSY-compressed files. The SOC calibration pipeline also flags these  pixels as bad in the QUALITY_MAP extension of calibrated FITS files;  no such flags are available in the raw FITS files; the SOC pipeline  did not flag the additional corrupt pixels beyond the first 34 in  LOSSY-compressed data until the Pluto P2 delivery late in 2016.   * See ApID definitions under the Data section of the Data Set  Description, DATA_SET_DESC, in this data set catalog.    Observation descriptions in this data set catalog  :   Some users will expect to find descriptions of the observations  in this data set here, in this Confidence Level Note. This data  set follows the more common convention of placing those  descriptions under the Data Set Description (above, if the user is  reading this in the DATASET.CAT file) of this data set catalog.    Caveat about TARGET_NAME in PDS labels and observational intent  :   The downlink team on New Horizons has  created an automated system to take various uplink products, decode  things like Chebyshev polynomials in command sequences representing  celestial body ephemerides for use on the spacecraft to control  pointing, and infer from those data what the most likely intended  target was at any time during the mission. This works well during  flyby encounters and less so during cruise phases and hibernation.   The user of these PDS data needs to  be cautious when using the TARGET_NAME and other target-related  parameters stored in this data set. This is less an issue for the  plasma and particle instruments, more so for pointing instruments.  To this end, the heliocentric ephemeris of the spacecraft, the  spacecraft-relative ephemeris of the inferred target, and the  inertial attitude of the instrument reference frame are provided  with all data, in the J2000 inertial reference frame, so the user  can check where that target is in the Field Of View (FOV) of the  instrument.   Finally, note that, within the FITS headers of the data products,  the sequence tables, and other NH Project-internal documents used  in this data set and/or inserted into the data set catalog,  informal names are often used for targets instead of the canonical  names required for the TARGET_NAME keyword. For example, during  the Pluto mission phase, instead of the TARGET_NAME '15810 ARAWN  (1994 JR1)' there might be found any of the following: 1994JR1;  1994 JR1; JR1. For all values where the PDS keyword TARGET_NAME  is used (e.g. in PDS labels and in index tables), the canonical,  PDS-approved names are used (if not, please bring this to the  attention of PDS so it can be rectified). However, within the  context of this data set, these project abbreviations are not  ambiguous (e.g. there is only one NH target with 'JR1' in its  name), so there has been, and will be, no attempt to expand such  abbreviations where they occur outside formal PDS keyword values.    Review  :  This dataset was peer reviewed and certified for scientific use on  June 19, 2017.
CITATION_DESCRIPTION Weaver, H., NEW HORIZONS Raw LORRI PLUTO ENCOUNTER V3.0, NH-P-LORRI-2-PLUTO-V3.0, NASA Planetary Data System, 2018.
ABSTRACT_TEXT This data set contains Raw data taken by the New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument during the Pluto encounter mission phase. This is VERSION 3.0 of this data set. This data set contains LORRI observations taken during the the Approach (Jan-Jul, 2015), Encounter, Departure, and Transition mission sub-phases, including flyby observations taken on 14 July, 2015, and departure and calibration data through late October, 2016. Departure observations include a ring search of the Pluto system and 1994 JR1 observations. This data set completes the Pluto mission phase deliveries for LORRI. This is version 3.0 of this dataset. Changes since version 2.0 include the addition of data downlinked between the end of January, 2016 and the end of October, 2016, completing the delivery of all data covering the Pluto Encounter and subsequent Calibration Campaign. It includes multi- map observations from the Approach phase, observations of the moons, hi- res, full-frame observations from Pluto Encounter and Departure, sliver maps, and ring search observations. There may be some overlap between prior datasets and this dataset, due to only partial, windowed, or lossy data in prior datasets. Observations at closest approach to Pluto are marked with _CA in the Request ID. This dataset also includes functional tests from the Calibration Campaign, including a regular observation of NGC3532. Finally it includes the first set of distant KBO observations. Also, updates were made to the calibration files, documentation, and catalog files. There were minor changes to the level 2 LORRI calibration process, as well as to the LORRI calibration constants for the final Pluto P3 PDS delivery. The process change involves gap removal during calibration. Files with gaps come in many flavors, depending on where the gap lies within the image. This update recognizes some additional possiblities, mainly that the gap might be close to the bottom or top of the image (and therefore the previous algorithm would fail because it filled the gap with median pixel info from both above and below the gap). The new algorithm will take the info from one side of the gap exclusively, when appropriate.
