PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = "STREAM" OBJECT = TEXT INTERCHANGE_FORMAT = "ASCII" PUBLICATION_DATE = 2016-10-31 NOTE = "DOCUMENT directory contents The information contained in all documents included with, and referenced in, this archive, is an integral part of this archive. N.B. SBN has agreed to accept PDF/A rather than the PDS3-required 7-bit ASCII version of critical documents for the New Horizons data set deliveries; therefore the user should not expect to see 7-bit, ASCII text versions of the data set documents. This anomaly is a variation on the normal PDS3 requirements. N.B. Specifically, the information contained in the SOC Instrument Interface Control Document (ICD), and in the documents submitted for publication in Space Science Reviews in 2007/2008, is crucial to understanding the data in this archive. As such, the producers of this archive have included the best possible version of these documents with this archive. Although all of the documents will be useful for understanding the data, the data producers put special emphasis on the following four documents. 1) LEISA_DATA.PDF The LEISA detector is a two-dimensional device for taking images; a LEISA instrument observation comprises tens or hundreds of image frames taken at regular time intervals and stacked into a three-dimensional data cube. The three dimensions of the product data cube are spatial, spatial+spectral, and frame (time). By scanning the Field Of View, the third dimension (time) becomes in effect a spatial dimension. This document provides a graphical representation to explain the geometry of a typical scanning LEISA observation, and describes a strategy to convert the data product into a cube with dimensions that are spatial, spatial and spectral. 2) NH_OBS_GEOM.PDF This document describes of the locations of the instruments on the New Horizons (NH) spacecraft, the remote instruments' (ALICE; RALPH/LEISA; LORRI; RALPH/MVIC) boresights and fields of view, and the types of observational geometries used during the NH mission. 3) SOC_INST_ICD.PDF SOC Instrument Interface Control Document (aka the 'ICD') The ICD specifies the interfaces between the New Horizons Science Operations Center (SOC) and the instrument pipeline, which process data from raw to calibrated units. The ICD's purpose is to define the various aspects of the interfaces in sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding between the SOC and the instrument team to allow for parallel pipeline development. In addition to mission-wide information, the ICD contains an entire section devoted to the details of the LEISA instrument. The most important aids provided to the user of this archive by the ICD are * Detailed descriptions of the data files that comprise the data portion of this archive. * Detailed descriptions of the calibration methodology of the LEISA instrument data. * Overview descriptions of the LEISA instrument theory and operation. * References to more detailed documentation. 4) RALPH_SSR.PDF RALPH Space Sciences Review documents (aka 'SSR paper(s)') Scientific papers describing the New Horizons mission, spacecraft, mission design, payload and instruments were submitted to the publication 'Space Science Reviews' in 2007/2008 after the Jupiter encounter; refer to the references catalog for full citations. The RALPH Instrument and Payload overview SSR papers, i.e. Reuter, D. C., et al., 2008 [REUTERETAL2008] and Weaver et al., 2008 [WEAVERETAL2008], provide details of the RALPH theory, design, ground testing, ground calibration, operational considerations, and post-launch checkout results.
