New Horizons LORRI Pluto Encounter Raw Data

A PDS3 version of this data set can be found here.

Status: LOCALLY ARCHIVED

Abstract: This data set contains Raw data taken by the New Horizons LOng Range Reconnaissance Imager (LORRI) instrument during the PLUTO ENCOUNTER mission phase. This data set contains LORRI observations taken during the the Approach (Jan-Jul, 2015), Encounter, Departure, and Transition mission sub-phases, including flyby observations taken on 14 July, 2015, and departure and calibration data through late October, 2016. Departure observations include a ring search of the Pluto system and 1994 JR1 observations. This data set completes the Pluto mission phase deliveries for LORRI. Changes since prior versions include the addition of data downlinked between the end of January, 2016 and the end of October, 2016, completing the delivery of all data covering the Pluto Encounter and subsequent Calibration Campaign. It includes multi-map observations from the Approach phase, observations of the moons, hi-res, full-frame observations from Pluto Encounter and Departure, sliver maps, and ring search observations. There may be some overlap between prior datasets and this dataset, due to only partial, windowed, or lossy data in prior datasets. Observations at closest approach to Pluto are marked with _CA in the Request ID. This dataset also includes functional tests from the Calibration Campaign, including a regular observation of NGC3532. Finally it includes the first set of distant KBO observations. These data were migrated from the previously released PDS3 data set NH-P-LORRI-2-PLUTO-V3.0.
