" 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-X-LORRI-2-PLUTOCRUISE-V1.0, may not have corresponding data products in the calibrated data set, NH-X-LORRI-3-PLUTOCRUISE-V1.0. 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_PLUTOCRUISE.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. Caveats about TARGET and observational intent ============================================= A fundamental truth of managing data from some spacecraft missions is that the intent of any observation is not suitable for insertion into the command stream sent to the spacecraft to execute that observation. As a result, re-attaching that intent to the data that are later downlinked is problematic at best; for New Horizons that task is made even more difficult as the only meta-data that come down with the observation is the unpredictable time of the observation. The task is made yet even more difficult because uplink personnel, who generate the command sequences and initially know the intent of each observation, are perpetually under deadlines imposed by orbital mechanics and can rarely be spared for the time-intensive task of resolving this issue. To make a long story short, 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 point to be made is that 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. Furthermore, for pointing instruments with one or more spatial components to their detectors, a table has been provided in the DOCUMENT/ area with XY (two-dimensional) positions of each inferred target in the primary data products; if those values are several thousand pixels off of a detector array, it is a strong indication that the actual target of that observation is something other than the inferred target, or no target at all e.g. dark sky.

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 is, or can be, calibrated to radiance. The spacecraft was in hibernation for much of the Pluto Cruise mission phase, and the focus for LORRI during Annual CheckOuts (ACOs) one through four (ACO1-4) was preparation for the Pluto Encounter in 2015, including functional tests, calibrations, and encounter rehearsals. Science observations performed by LORRI during this phase included the following targets: KBO objects KBO 2005 FY9 (Makemake) and KBO 2003 EL61 (Haumea); Centaur object Chariklo; the planets Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The ACO tests also had LORRI observing several other targets: Pluto; the star field that will be visible 3 days before Pluto closest approach in 2015; the M7 star field; the star Vega. A full functional test was performed during ACO1 in 2007, with ACO 'Lite' tests performed during ACO2-4 in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Specific tests and calibrations performed during ACOs included the following: scattered light test (2007, 2008, 2010); Pluto OpNav test (2007, 2008); lamp tests (2007, 2008, 2009, 2010); star tracker calibration test (2008); GNC mosaic settling test (2008); LEISA-LORRI ridealong (2008); scattered light dither test (2010). 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_PLUTOCRUISE.TAB. N.B. Some sequences provided may have zero 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 1.0 of this data set. 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 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 - Other sources of information useful in interpreting these Data - Instrument description - 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. 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. 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-PLUTOCRUISE-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_PLUTOCRUISE.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; that is, some sequences may have failed to execute due to spacecraft events (e.g. safing) and there will be observations associated with those sequences. No attempt has been made during the preparation of this data set to identify if any, or how many, such empty sequences there are, so it is up to the user to compare the times of the sequences to the times of the available observations from the INDEX/INDEX.TAB table 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) 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. 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.
