ROSETTA-ORBITER CHECK RPCMAG 2 CR4B CALIBRATED V9.0

This dataset contains RESAMPLED DATA (CODMAC LEVEL 4) of the Cruise 4-2 phase, called CRUISE PHASE CR4B, of the ROSETTA orbiter magnetometer RPCMAG. Included are data from the Passive Checkout PC9 from January 31, 2009 until February 1, 2009. The current version of the dataset is V9.0. The difference to the datasets of earlier versions is mainly a significantly improved sensor temperature model, more detailed documentation about magnetic disturbance sources, more data handling information for the user and also an improved quality flagging system.

NEW HORIZONS SDC KEM1 CALIBRATED V2.0

This data set contains Calibrated data taken by the New Horizons Student Dust Counter instrument during the KEM1 ENCOUNTER mission phase. This is VERSION 2.0 of this data set. This data set contains data acquired by the spacecraft between 08/14/2018 and 01/31/2019. It only includes data downlinked before 02/01/2019. Future datasets may include more data acquired by the spacecraft after 08/13/2018 but downlinked after 01/31/2019.

PVO VENUS MAG CALIBRATED P-SENSOR HIGH RES V1.0

This dataset contains full resolution magnetometer data from the Pioneer Venus Orbiter spacecraft beginning with orbit 3602 (Oct 16, 1988) and continuing until the orbiter was lost in the Venusian atmosphere (orbit 5055, Oct 7, 1992). The dataset differs from the high resolution magnetometer dataset from theprevious orbits due to an anomaly in the multiplexor that controlled the sampling of the magnetometer sensors. During orbit 3602, and for the remainder of the mission, the spacecraft downlink contained magnetometer data from only the P sensor. The P sensor is the sensor which is aligned with the spacecraft spin axis, nominally in the direction of the ecliptic normal.

Future datasets may include more data acquired by the spacecraft after 08/13/2018 but downlinked after 01/31/2019. It includes a number of distant Kuiper Belt Objects (DKBOs). It also includes images of the approach field where MU69 was expected to reside during the MU69 encounter on Jan. 1, 2019. The data also covers the actual MU69 encounter.

ROSETTA-ORBITER CHECK RPCMAG 3 CVP CALIBRATED V3.0

This dataset contains CALIBRATED DATA of all three commissioning phases CVP1,CVP2,CVP3 and also data of the interference campaign. All these phases together are labeled as Commissioning Phase CVP. (Version 3.0 is the first version archived.)

ARECIBO MOON RADIO TELESCOPE CALIBRATED 70 CM RADAR V1.0

Backscatter image data of the Moon made with Arecibo 70 cm radar in 1986 and 1987. The observations were made to demonstrate mapping resolution of 0.5 - 1.0 kilometers by using short transmitter pulses and long integration times (up to 8 minutes). Image pixel values are in proportion to raw power in delay-Doppler sampling coordinates.

CASSINI S MIMI CHEMS SENSOR CALIBRATED DATA V1.0

The Cassini Magnetospheric Imaging Instrument(MIMI) Charge Energy Mass Spectrometer (CHEMS) contains a deflection system and an overall field of view of 159 x 4 deg. that is comprised of three distinct energetic particle telescopes each having a field of view of 53 x 4. All telescopes share the same deflection mechanism, but each has its own start and stop microchannel plate (MCP) and its own solid-state detector (SSD). Much of the data returned by CHEMS is separated by telescope. The deflection plate power supply (DPPS) has 32 different voltages that can be applied across the deflection plates. For any single DPPS step, the electrostatic analyzer only transmits incoming ions within a narrow range of energy per charge (a 3% pass band). The CHEMS calibrated data set includes the Pulse Height Analysis (PHA) data collected during the Saturn tour. CHEMS PHA provides a list of individually detected particles, with specific detection parameters for each event, including TOF, energy deposited in the SSD, and telescope number. The energy per charge data for six ion species (H+, He+, H2+, He++, O++, W+) are presented in two forms. (The W+ water ion group includes O+, OH+, H20+ and H30+). One form is a set of tables which are of variable length and use a comma to separate various fields, and the other is a PDF file containing the energy per charge spectrograms and are based on CHEMS PHA data. The original data has been decommutated and decoded by software at the Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and calibrated and further processed by software at the University of Maryland. This data set should be among the first used by a user of any of the MIMI CHEMS archive as it will lead one to information required to search for more detailed or highly specialized features in the original data.

2MASS LMC/SMC Calibration Scan Information Table

Photometric calibration for 2MASS was performed using observations of calibration fields made at regular intervals during each night of survey operations. Measurements of standard stars in the fields were used to derive the photometric zero point offsets as a function of time during each night. Atmospheric extinction coefficients were derived from 2MASS observations made over long periods.2MASS calibration fields, or tiles, are 1° long in declination and approximately 8.5' wide in right ascension. There are 35 regular survey calibration fields distributed at approximately two hour intervals in right ascension near declinations of approximately -30°, 0° and +30°. An additional five calibration fields were defined in and around the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds to support the deep observation (6x) campaign towards the end of survey operations.Over the course of the survey, the regular calibration fields were scanned between 562 and 3692 times in nominally photometric conditions. Equatorial fields were observed from both observatories, so were observed more frequently than those near ±30° which were observed with only one telescope. The special Magellanic Cloud calibration fields were observed 108 to 468 times between November 2000 and February 2001.The 2MASS Calibration Scan Information Table provides basic metadata for each survey mode scan taken during 2MASS operations.

ROSETTA-ORBITER CHECK RPCMAG 4 CVP CALIBRATED V9.0

This dataset contains RESAMPLED DATA (CODMAC LEVEL 4) of the two commissioning phases CVP1 and CVP2 and of the interference campaign of the ROSETTA orbiter magnetometer RPCMAG. Included are data from the time interval March 17, 2004 until October 14, 2004. The current version of the dataset is V9.0. The difference to the datasets of earlier versions is mainly a significantly improved sensor temperature model, more detailed documentation about magnetic disturbance sources, more data handling information for the user and also an improved quality flagging system.

MESSENGER XRS Calibrated (CDR) Data Bundle

The MESSENGER XRS CDR data consist of x-ray spectra and instrument data collected by the XRS instrument during cruise, fly-by and orbital operations at Mercury, along with observations of Venus, and observations taken of Cassiopeia-A for calibration.

LRO DLRE 4 CALIBRATED RADIANCE V1.0

This data set consists of the Diviner Lunar Radiometer Experiment Reduced Data Records also known as RDRs. The DLRE is a surface pushbroom mapper that measures emitted thermal radiation and reflected solar radiation from the surface of the moon. Two Diviner solar channels measure 0.3-3 micrometers reflected solar radiation. Three Diviner channels near 8 micrometers classify regolith mineralogy by mapping the location of the Christiansen feature. The remaining four Diviner channels measure surface temperature in four spectral bands ranging from 12.5 micrometers to beyond 200 micrometers.

DAWN FC2 CALIBRATED CERES IMAGES V1.0

Abstract ======== Framing Camera 2 is one of two identical units flying on Dawn spacecraft. This dataset includes the Reduced Data Record (RDR) version of all available images acquired during the Ceres Encounter (Approach, Survey, HAMO, and LAMO and the Ceres extended mission phases (XMO1-4). In addition to the imagery, anciliary information is stored within the image headers, as well as a detailed account of all the reference files used for the calibration. Calibration files used during processing are archived as a separate data set.

NEW HORIZONS LORRI PLUTO ENCOUNTER CALIBRATED V1.0

NEW HORIZONS LORRI POST-LAUNCH CHECKOUT CALIBRATED V3.0

This data set contains Calibrated data taken by the New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument during the post-launch checkout mission phase. This is VERSION 3.0 of this data set. During the Launch Phase, LORRI conducted a variety of instrument commissioning activities in preparation for science operations. An extensive series of bias images was collected during the spring and summer of 2006, before the LORRI aperture door was opened. Images were also collected of LORRI's internal lamps. The LORRI aperture door was opened on 2006 August 29, and an extensive series of calibration observations of stars in the open cluster M7 was performed during the next several days. Commissioning test observations were also performed on the planetary targets Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Jovian observations were conducted specifically to test LORRI's ability to perform imaging using exposure times that were short compared to the frame transfer time (i.e., shorter than 13 ms). Some histogram-only solar scattered light observations were performed during a Ralph commissioning test. LORRI V3.0 provides a few updates from LORRI V2.0. The lossy images were recalibrated, including expanding the 'bad' pixel designation of 8x8 boxes affected by the first 34 pixels of header information in the calibrated quality map. Also, updates were made to the documentation and catalog files, primarily to resolve liens from the V2.0 peer review. No new observations were added with Version 3.0.

GRAIL MOON LGRS CALIBRATED AND RESAMPLED SCIENCE V1.0

This data set contains calibrated and resampled engineering (e.g., star tracker data and timing) and science data acquired from the Lunar Gravity and Ranging System (LGRS) on the two spacecraft comprising the Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory (GRAIL) mission. The data in the set are at NASA Level 1 and have been archived for general use. Products in this set have been derived from NASA Level 0 (the LGRS EDR data set) by the GRAIL Science Data System (SDS). The observations were used to generate high-resolution gravity field models of the Moon. The data set includes all of the Level 1 LGRS data from the GRAIL mission (March-December 2012).

NEW HORIZONS ALICE PLUTO ENCOUNTER CALIBRATED V3.0

This data set contains Calibrated data taken by the New Horizons Alice Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph instrument during the Pluto encounter mission phase. This is VERSION 3.0 of this data set. This data set contains ALICE 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. This data set completes the Pluto mission phase deliveries for ALICE. 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 and Lyman-alpha observations of Pluto and Charon, histograms of the Pluto system moons, and a number of calibration observations of Rho Leo and other stars. Also, updates were made to the calibration files, documentation, and catalog files. The data were re-run through the updated pipeline, which changed the FITS headers of the raw data set, but not the FITS data. The updated Effective Area calibration file (pa_aeff_007.tab) changed the calibrated data.

NEW HORIZONS PEPSSI PLUTO ENCOUNTER CALIBRATED V1.0

This data set contains Calibrated data taken by the New Horizons Pluto Energetic Particle Spectrometer Science Investigation instrument during the Pluto encounter mission phase. This is VERSION 1.0 of this data set.

EPOXI EARTH OBS - MRI CALIBRATED IMAGES V2.0

This dataset contains calibrated, 750-nm filter images of Earth acquired by the Deep Impact Medium Resolution Visible CCD (MRI) during the EPOCh and Cruise 2 phases of the EPOXI mission. The MRI instrument was only used during the first Earth observing period on 18-19 March 2008 and the last two on 27-28 March and 04-05 October 2009. Each observing period lasted approximately 24 hours, and one MRI image was taken simultaneously with the first north/south scan of the HRI IR spectrometer at half-hour intervals to serve as context spectra. On 27-28 September 2009 during the first attempt at Earth south polar observations, a full set of MRI context images was acquired although the HRII and HRIV instruments were turned off by fault protection shortly after the sequence started. Version 2.0 includes the application of a horizontal destriping process, new absolute calibration constants for filters, and revised electronic crosstalk calibration files.

PVO VENUS MAG CALIBRATED S/C COORDINATES HIGH RES V1.0

This dataset contains vectors collected by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (previously Pioneer 12) Magnetometer. The data are provided in spacecraft coordinates. In one format, apoapsis B, the magnetometer can be commanded to return 3 vectors per minor frame. In most others it transmits one vector per minor frame. In one format, periapsis E, it has no words in a minor frame. At very low sampling rates at which time the sine wave due to spacecraft spin could not be resolved. The magnetometer values are despun, and averaged on board using a Walsh transform (square wave) in phase and in quadiatune with the sun.
