END_OBJECT = TEXT END Documentation Provided on SDNC_0003 Archive Volume ================================================== The DOCUMENT directory of this archive volume contains the following files and subdirectories: CALRPT -- subdirectory containing the NAVCAM pre-flight calibration document. Note that the calibration document does not apply to the data provided in this data set, but rather to the preflight calibration data. Still this document is provided because it contains the best known, most current information regarding the camera. This document is a collection of a large variety of information regarding the characteristics and behavior of the STARDUST Navigation camera, as well as the characteristics of the optics and reflecting surfaces. In July 2010 the NAVCAM data compression lookup table documented in CALRPT was corrected per Stardust-NExT mission ops. SCDESC -- subdirectory containing the spacecraft and instrument description document, consisting of a collection of HTML documents and accompanying images, describing the various subsystems on the spacecraft as well as a description of each of the science instruments on the spacecraft. The top HTLM file for this document is SCDESC.HTM. BROWSE_IMAGES -- subdirectory containing PNG versions of all of the images in the DATA/ENCOUNTER directory. The PNG versions can be used to easily browse through the comet images. NAVCAM_CALIBRATION.PDF - Description of the calibration procedures used for calibrating the NAVCAM images SBN_CALIBRATION_COMMENTS.ASC - Comments from the Small Bodies Node regarding the NAVCAM calibration procedures PIXEL_SCALE_ANALYSIS.ASC - Crude analysis of the NAVCAM pixel scale and field distortion. FLAT_FIELD_ANALYSIS.ASC - Check of thhe NAVCAM flat fielding. SHUTTER_CORRECTION.ASC - Description of the shutter parity problem and the coorrections that were applied. SHUTTER_PARITY_LIST - List of the direction of the shutter movement for each image, and the times when the NAVCAM power was cycled. MISSION_PLAN.PDF -- Stardust mission plan document. M_PLAN_SUPA.PDF -- Supplement A (post-launch update) to the Stardust mission plan document. M_PLAN_SUPB.PDF -- Supplement B (Annefrank encounter update) to the Stardust mission plan document. NC_DES_A.PDF -- NAVCAM instrument description document. PIIMGLOG.ASC -- ASCII and PDF versions of the log of Stardust PIIMGLOG.PDF NAVCAM images taken during flight, put together by the NAVCAM PI Dr. Raymond L. Newburn, Jr. NAV_POSITIONS.TAB -- Table contatining the approximate pixel location of the comet in the navigation images. VERSION_UPDATES.ASC -- Description of the tasks that were performed in updating the Stardust NAVCAM calibrated data to version 2.0, including corrections made in July 2010 to the NAVCAM data compression lookup table table documented in CALRPT/. DOCINFO.TXT -- This file. The labels for PDF documents provided in this directory are detached and have the same name as the document and extension .LBL.
