Deep Space 1 MICAS, FITS Files - Saved Data

Status: Save-the-bits

This volume contains the DS1/MICAS files that were actually brought to review. The data were tentatively accepted at the review, pending the addition of substantial information and documentation regarding the reduction process(es) applied. Attempts by SBN personnel to obtain this information from the instrument team failed. The data are being saved in the hopes that the information required by the reviewers for archiving may become available in the future.

A short errata list pertaining to unapproved keywords which appear in the data labels in included in the errata.txt file in the root directory.

Catalog Files

Catalog files contain the overview information and parameters used in loading the PDS central catalog, specifically, or for developing other interfaces to the data outside of PDS. The information they contain, particularly in their descriptive text fields, should be clear, complete, and understandable to a research user who is not necessarily a mission or instrument specialist.

These files are located in the catalog/ subdirectory. The directory contents are described by the catinfo.txt file.

• Deep Space 1 Mission File
• Deep Space 1 Spacecraft File
• MICAS Instrument File
• Data Set Description written by SBN personnel from the limited information available. This file was created because the instrument team failed to provide a data set description prior to the review.
• Data Set description provided by the instrument team after review
• 19P/Borrelly 1 Target File

Documentation Files

In addition to the small text files located throughout the volume to describe directory contents, some specific documents are provided to assist with understanding the data and processing involved.

These files are located in the document/ subdirectory. The directory contents are described by the docinfo.txt file.

In this directory are several files gathered or created during the review preparation:

• The DS1 Technology Validation Report is provided in two formats: a Word file, and a text file, with the graphics provided in separate JPEG files in the document/ directory. (PDS label)

• The imgtime.txt file is a plain ASCII file describing the time calculation.

• The snip.txt file provides an explanation of the SNIP OP/NAV images.

• The keywords.txt file lists definitions for the DS1-specific keywords that appear in the data file PDS labels.

Data Files

These image data files have all been converted to FITS files. There are divided into 12 subdirectories under the data/ directory. Eleven of these (with name like "far01", "far02", etc.) are from the far approach to 19P/Borrelly. The twelfth directory, near_ccd, contains a variety of different types of observations, all made during the encounter with 19P/Borrelly. Each file has a detached PDS label.

Index Files

This directory contains an index into the data files included on this volume (in the data/ directory).

• indxinfo.txt describes the directory contents.
• index.lbl describes the contents of the index.tab file.
