Introduction
============
This data set contains calibrated, 1.05- to 4.8-micron spectra of Earth
acquired by the High Resolution Infrared Spectrometer (HRII) during
the EPOCh and Cruise 2 phases of the EPOXI mission. Five sets of
observations were acquired on 18-19 March, 28-29 May and 04-05 June
2008 and on 27-28 March and 04-05 October 2009 to characterize Earth
as an analog for extrasolar planets. Each observing period lasted
approximately 24 hours, and spectra were acquired twice per hour.
During the observing period in May 2008, the Moon transited across
Earth as seen from the spacecraft. HRII spectra were not acquired
during the first attempt of an Earth south polar observation on
27-28 September 2009 because fault protection turned that
instrument off; the full sequence was successfully rerun on
04-05 October 2009.

Volume Format
=============
This volume has been formatted according to the ISO-9660 level 2
Interchange Standard for directories and file names as described
in Version 3.7 of the PDS Standards Reference.
File Formats
============
All text documents and other meta information files such as
descriptions, PDS object definitions, and detached PDS labels are
stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line
feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record. This allows
the files to be read by various operating systems.
Volume Contents
===============
Files on this volume are organized into a set of subdirectories below
the top-level directory. The following table shows the general
structure and content of these directories but does not exhaustively
list every file in each directory. In the table, directory names
are surrounded by forward slashes (/), and the top-level of the
volume is indicated by a single forward slash. See the *INFO.TXT
files in each top-level sub-directory for specific information about
the files under that directory.
