N.B. SBN has agreed to accept PDF/A rather than the PDS3-required 7-bit ASCII version of critical documents for the New Horizons data set deliveries; therefore the user should not expect to see 7-bit, ASCII text versions of the data set documents. This anomaly is a variation on the normal PDS3 requirements. N.B. Specifically, the information contained in the SOC Instrument Interface Control Document (ICD), and in the documents submitted for publication in Space Science Reviews in 2007, is crucial to understanding the data in this archive. As such, the producers of this archive have included the best possible version of these documents with this archive. N.B. The ICD contains the most recent information available, and as such it overrides any information in the Space Science Review document. The Space Science Review document was published in 2007 and will not be updated throughout the mission. This is especially true for data calibration information. The Space Science Review document should only be considered a source of calibration information if comparable information is not provided in the ICD. * SOC Instrument Interface Control Document (aka the 'ICD') The ICD specifies the interfaces between the New Horizons Science Operations Center (SOC) and the instrument pipeline, which process data from raw to calibrated units. The ICD's purpose is to define the various aspects of the interfaces in sufficient detail to establish a clear understanding between the SOC and the instrument team to allow for parallel pipeline development. In addition to mission-wide information, the ICD contains an entire section devoted to the details of the SDC instrument. The most important aids provided to the user of this archive by the ICD are * Detailed descriptions of the data files that comprise the data portion of this archive. * Detailed descriptions of the calibration methodology of the SDC instrument data. * Overview descriptions of the SDC instrument theory and operation. * References to more detailed documentation. * SDC Space Sciences Review documents (aka 'SSR paper(s)') N.B. See the note above about the relative importance Scientific papers describing the New Horizons mission, spacecraft, mission design, payload and instruments were submitted to the publication 'Space Science Reviews' in 2007 after the Jupiter encounter; refer to the references catalog for full citations. The SDC Instrument and Payload overview SSR papers, i.e. Horanyi, M., et al., 2007 [HORANYIETAL2007] and Weaver et al., 2007 [WEAVERETAL2007], provide details of the SDC theory, design, ground testing, ground calibration, operational considerations, and post-launch checkout results.
