New Horizons LEISA Pluto Encounter Calibrated Data

A PDS3 version of this data set can be found here.

Status: LOCALLY ARCHIVED

Abstract: This collection contains a set of calibrated images in .FIT format for the New Horizons Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) instrument during the PLUTO ENCOUNTER mission phase. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset: NH-P-LEISA-3-PLUTO-V3.0. This data set contains LEISA 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. Changes since prior versions 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, and hi-res departure observations. It also includes functional tests from the Calibration Campaign including scans across the detector of Arcturus, and a second test of the Solar Illumination Assembly. Labels were redesigned during migration using the .FIT header and PDS3 .LBL files, but the data files are unchanged from their PDS3 version.
