New Horizons Student Dust Counter (SDC) Pluto Cruise Calibrated Data, Version 1.0
Abstract
This collection contains a set of calibrated tables in .FIT format for the New Horizons Student Dust Counter (SDC) instrument during the PLUTOCRUISE mission phase. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset: NH-X-SDC-3-PLUTOCRUISE-V2.0. In the years following the Jupiter encounter, designated as the PLUTOCRUISE mission phase, SDC collected science data intermittently during hibernation. There were also Annual Checkouts (ACOs), STIM calibrations, Noise calibrations, and an anomaly in November, 2007. Labels were redesigned during migration using the .FIT header and PDS3 .LBL files, but the data files are unchanged from their PDS3 version.
