Abstract

This collection contains a set of calibrated tables in .FIT format for the New Horizons Student Dust Counter (SDC) instrument during the JUPITER ENCOUNTER mission phase. These data were migrated from the PDS3 dataset: NH-J-SDC-3-JUPITER-V4.0. For the Jupiter encounter mission phase, SDC collected no science data during the Jupiter flyby, as the requisite spacecraft configuration prevented SDC from operating. There were some very sparse data taken from December, 2006 through April, 2007, and some of very short (or zero) duration after the Jupiter flyby from April, 2007 through June, 2007. Labels were redesigned during migration using the .FIT header and PDS3 .LBL files, but the data files are unchanged from their PDS3 version.
