" END_OBJECT = TEXT END Table of Contents ================= Introduction Science Data Content Processing Information Volume Format File Formats Volume Contents Whom to Contact for Information Introduction ============ The New Horizons Pluto Encounter Surface and Composition Science Theme Team generated the derived data products in this dataset, which include global color maps of Pluto and Charon, 4-color image cubes for Pluto, Charon, Nix, and Hydra from the Multispectral Visible Imaging Camera (MVIC) instrument, scanned spectrum cubes from the Linear Etalon Imaging Spectral Array (LEISA) instrument, and absorption band maps for N2, CO, CH4, and H2O. These maps were created from calibrated data taken during the Pluto mission phase. Science data content ==================== This document is a volume structure overview of the New Horizons (NH) Upper level data products for the Composition Science Theme Team. Guidance is provided in this document for the following dataset: NH-P/PSA-LEISA/MVIC-5-COMP-V1.0 Processing Information ====================== All NH Raw and Calibrated datasets were generated in similar fashion by an automated pipeline, but the higher level datasets were created by a customized process. However, all of the information that follows should be common to all high level NH datasets, with pointers to locations where more information can be found. Refer to the data set catalog (CATALOG/DATASET.CAT), for non-standard information specific to each dataset. For more general mission documentation, please see the mission documentation dataset nh-p-multi-6-doc-set-v1.0. Volume Format ============= This volume has been formatted according to the PDS Standards Reference 3.8 version. 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 most current operating systems. Data are provided in FITS and IMG formats with detached PDS labels or in csv format. Volume Contents =============== Files on this volume are organized into a set of sub-directories 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. See the *INFO.TXT files in each top-level sub-directory for specific information about the files under that directory. In this table, directory names are surrounded by forward slashes (/), and the top-level of the volume is indicated by a single forward slash. / Top level of volume | +-- AAREADME.TXT The AAREADME file | +--/CATALOG/ Directory containing PDS catalog objects. | | | |-- CATINFO.TXT Description of files in the CATALOG directory | |-- DATASET.CAT Description of this data set | |-- DATASET_PROJECTION.CAT Description of the map projections | |-- LEISA.CAT Description of the LEISA instrument | |-- MVIC.CAT Description of the Ralph/MVIC instrument | |-- NH.CAT Description of the New Horizons mission | |-- NHSC.CAT Description of the New Horizons spacecraft | +-- REF.CAT List of publications relevant to this data set | +--/DATA/ Top-level data directory | | | +-- ABSORP/ | | | | | |-- *.IMG LEISA absorption maps | | +-- *.LBL PDS labels for the data files in this directory | | | +-- COLOR/ | | | | | |-- *.IMG MVIC 4-color cubes for Pluto and Charon | | |-- *.FIT MVIC 4-color cubes for Nix and Hydra | | +-- *.LBL PDS labels for the data files in this directory | | | +-- MOSAIC/ | | | | | |-- *.IMG Global Color Mosaic Maps of Pluto and Charon | | +-- *.LBL PDS labels for the data files in this directory | | | +-- SPEC/ | | | |-- *.FIT LEISA spectral cubes for Pluto and satellites | +-- *.LBL PDS labels for the data files in this directory | +--/INDEX/ Directory containing index files. | | | |-- INDXINFO.TXT Description of files in the INDEX directory | |-- INDEX.TAB Index of data files on this volume | |-- INDEX.LBL PDS label for INDEX.TAB file | |-- CHECKSUM.TAB MD5 Checksum file for files on this volume | +-- CHECKSUM.LBL PDS label for CHECKSUM.TAB | +-- VOLDESC.CAT Description of the logical contents of this volume.
