Introduction
============
This dataset contains calibrated, narrow band filter images
(350-950 nm) of Earth acquired by the Deep Impact High Resolution
Visible CCD (HRIV) 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. HRIV images
were acquired once per hour with the filters centered on 350, 750
and 950 nm, whereas the 450-, 550-, 650-, and 850-nm data were taken
every 15 minutes. During the observing period in May 2008, the Moon
transited across Earth as seen from the spacecraft. On 27 September
2009 during the first attempt of an Earth south polar observation,
only seven HRIV frames were acquired before fault protection turned
that instrument off; the full sequence was successfully rerun on
04-05 October 2009. Version 2.0 includes the application of a
horizontal destriping process and revised electronic crosstalk
calibration files.
Volume Format
=============
This single-volume dataset 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 single-volume dataset are organized into a set of
subdirectories below the top-level directory. The following table shows
the general structure and content. The top-level of the volume is
indicated by a single forward slash (/) and subdirectory names are
surrounded by forward slashes (/). See the *INFO.TXT files located in each
subdirectory for specific information about the contents the subdirectory.
