END_OBJECT = TEXT END Volume DWNXFC1_1B Dawn Framing Camera 1 Calibrated Level-1B Cruise Archive ============================================================================== Brief Disk Description ============================================================================== This volume contains images from the Dawn Framing Camera 1 calibrated level-1B (RDR) cruise dataset. This dataset includes the Reduced Data Record (RDR) version of all available images acquired during the initial checkout and pre-Vesta cruise phases (Earth to Mars and Mars to Vesta). RDRs were not produced for the Vesta-Ceres cruise phase. The images in this dataset have been radiometrically calibrated by means of fully reversible procedures, transforming the value of the pixels from digital units to applicable engineering units without modification of the geometry. All images are stored in the 'DATA' branch of the directory tree. The data are provided in both PDS Image (IMG) and FITS formats. Anciliary information is stored within the image headers for the IMG, and in detached PDS labels for the FITS files. Calibration files needed for further processing are archived as part of the DAWN-CAL-FC1-2-EDR-CALIB-IMAGES-V1.0 data set. More information describing the image and volume format is contained in the Software Interface Specification (SIS). A copy of the SIS is provided in the /DOCUMENT/SIS directory of this volume. Users of these data are encouraged to acknowledge both the PDS and the principal investigators of the instruments whose data is used in analysis in all publications. ============================================================================== Volume Set Information ============================================================================== This volume is part of the Framing Camera 1 calibrated level-1B RDR images volume set. This volume set includes the following volumes: Volume ID Description ------------------------------------------------------- DWNXFC1_1B Dawn FC1 L1-B RDR cruise images DWNCALFC1 Dawn FC1 calibration images ============================================================================== Mission Facts ============================================================================== The 'Dawn Science Observations' table below provides a list of scientific observations made by the Dawn instruments. It includes the observation start date, the background sequence in which the observation occurred, an abbreviated observation name, and the location of an activity report which describes the observation. The activity report information is given as: VOLUME_ID: DOC DIR/DOC ID where: VOLUME_ID = PDS Volume ID that the report is on (wildcards indicate that the report is located on multiple volumes) DOC DIR = the name of the '/DOCUMENT/ACTIVITY_REPORTS' subdirectory in which the activity report is located DOC ID = the PDS DOCUMENT_ID, and file basename of the activity report ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dawn Science Observations ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ start bkg date seq activity activity report** (DOC_DIR/DOC_ID[1]) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 07-12-10 DC010 FC1 FUNC ICO/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-268_1_D 07-12-12 DC010 FC1 MINI CCD ICO/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-268_1_D 08-02-21 DC013 FC1 PERF ICO/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-268_1_D 08-02-21 DC013 FC1 CAL ICO/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-268_1_D 08-04-03 DC014 FC1 UPDATE 20080402_SWUPDATE_3_03_02/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-287_1_A 08-08-26 DC018 FC1 CCD CAL 20080826_CCDCAL/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-286_1_- 09-12-03 DC034 FC1 GEOM CAL 20091201_VIRGEOMCAL/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-285_1_- & CCDCAL 10-07-19 DC041 FC1 CHKOUT 20100720_CHKOUT_VIRGEOMCAL/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-295_1_- 11-03-16 DC048 FC1 UPDATE 20110315_SWUPDATE_3_05_01/DA-FC-MPAE-RP-304_1_- 12-12-09 DC053 FC1 NonPtChk none ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ * Wildcard in VOLUME_ID ** Activity reports use FC2 dates but describe both camera activities. [1] All activity reports are located in the /DOCUMENT/ACTIVITY_REPORTS directory of the volume. The 'DOC_DIR' indicates the sub-directory of the ACTIVITY_REPORTS directory that the document is located in. The 'DOC_ID' is base name of the document file. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ============================================================================== File Formats ============================================================================== The image files on this volume are binary images, with an attached ASCII header (PDS label). The PDS label contains information describing spacecraft, target, and imaging parameters characterizing the attached image. A data set description, instrument description, and other PDS documents are in .CAT files in the /CATALOG directory. In more recent versions of the Microsoft Windows operating system the .CAT by default is reserved as 'Security Catalog.' The .CAT files contained in this volume are ASCII text files, and can be read by any form of text editor. To make Windows open files with this name extension as text files, do the following. In Windows Explorer, open the 'Tools' menu and select 'Folder Options'. Select the 'File Types' tab and select 'CAT' from the list. Press 'Change...' and then choose your prefered text editor or viewer. We do not know of any harmful effects this might have on the operating system or other programs, but do not guarantee it will be entirely safe to make this change. If problems occur, the change can be undone in the same 'File Types' window by changing the default application back to 'crypto shell extension'. Additional documentation is generally located in the DOCUMENT directory. ============================================================================== Errata ============================================================================== Every effort has been made to assure that the data and documentation are of the best possible quality. However, mistakes are inevitable. There is a file called ERRATA.TXT found at the root level of this volume which contains a list of known deficiencies or caveats associated with data on this volume at the time this volume was produced. ============================================================================== Volume Contents and Structure ============================================================================== This section describes the volume structure and naming conventions. Below is a tree diagram of the volume, followed by a description of the directory function and key files in each directory.
