Introduction

  This dataset contains the raw, preflight, thermal-vacuum calibration        
  images collected by the Navigation Camera (NAVCAM) on 8-10 April 1998       
  for the Stardust mission.  This is version 2.0 of the dataset, in           
  which the original image data were converted from the standard PDS IMG      
  format to the FITS format; no corrections were applied.  The NExT           
  mission to comet 9P/Tempel 1 used some of these preflight data to           
  check the exposure time offsets due to shutter reversal and to              
  determine dark current rates.  This dataset supersedes version 1.0          
  which was safed by PDS because the data were not considered to be           
  scientifically useful for the Stardust mission.

  This single-volume dataset has been formatted according to the ISO-9660     
  level 2 Interchange Standard for directories and file names as described    
  in Version 3.7 of the PDS Standards Reference.

  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 various operating systems.                          
                                                                              
  The raw calibration images or data products use the FITS format.
