Stardust NAVCAM calibrated images of Comet Wild 2 ================================================= Introduction ============ This document provides an overview of this volume of the Stardust calibrated images of comet Wild 2, including a complete listing of the volume contents. This data set contains calibrated images and calibration data from the Stardust Navigation Camera (NAVCAM) observations of comet 81P/Wild 2. 206 calibrated images were obtained over the 5-day period 2003-12-29 to 2004-01-02.
