New Horizons Calibrated data taken by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument (LORRI) during the Pluto Cruise mission phase

This data set contains Calibrated data taken by New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument during the PLUTOCRUISE mission phase. This is VERSION 2.0 of this data set. The spacecraft was in hibernation for much of the Pluto Cruise mission phase, and the focus for LORRI during Annual CheckOuts one through eight (ACO1-8) was preparation for the Pluto Encounter in 2015, including functional tests, calibrations, and encounter rehearsals in 2012 and 2013. Science observations performed by LORRI during this phase included the following targets: KBO objects KBO 2005 FY9 and KBO 2003 EL61; Centaur object Chariklo; the planets Neptune and Jupiter. The ACO tests also had LORRI observing several other targets: Pluto; Charon; star fields that will be visible during approach optical navigation activities (OPNAVs) and 3d before Pluto closest approach in 2015; the M7 star field; the stars Vega and Arcturus; the open cluster NGC 3532.

本数据集包含新视野号（New Horizons）搭载的长距离侦察成像仪（Long Range Reconnaissance Imager, LORRI）在冥王星巡航（PLUTOCRUISE）任务阶段获取的定标后数据，本数据集版本为2.0。在冥王星巡航任务阶段的绝大多数时间内，该航天器处于休眠模式；在第1至8次年度检查（Annual CheckOuts, ACO1-8）期间，LORRI的工作重点为2015年冥王星飞掠任务做准备，涵盖2012年与2013年开展的功能测试、定标工作以及飞掠预演。此阶段LORRI执行的科学观测目标包括：柯伊伯带天体（Kuiper Belt Object, KBO）2005 FY9与2003 EL61；半人马小行星卡里克洛（Chariklo）；行星海王星与木星。在年度检查测试期间，LORRI还对多项其他目标开展了观测：冥王星、冥卫一（Charon）、2015年冥王星最近距离飞掠前用于进近光学导航（Optical Navigation Activities, OPNAVs）及三维定位的可见星场；M7星场；织女星（Vega）与大角星（Arcturus）；疏散星团NGC 3532。
