New Horizons Calibrated data taken by the Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument (LORRI) during the Post-Launch Checkout mission phase

This data set contains Calibrated data taken by New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument during the LAUNCH mission phase. This is VERSION 3.0 of this data set. During the Launch Phase, LORRI conducted a variety of instrument commissioning activities in preparation for science operations. An extensive series of bias images was collected during the spring and summer of 2006, before the LORRI aperture door was opened. Images were also collected of LORRI's internal lamps. The LORRI aperture door was opened on 2006 August 29, and an extensive series of calibration observations of stars in the open cluster M7 was performed during the next several days. Commissioning test observations were also performed on the planetary targets Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. The Jovian observations were conducted specifically to test LORRI's ability to perform imaging using exposure times that were short compared to the frame transfer time (i.e., shorter than 13 ms). Some histogram-only solar scattered light observations were performed during a Ralph commissioning test.

本数据集收录了在新地平线远程侦察成像仪（New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager，简称LORRI）的发射阶段采集的校准数据。此数据集的版本为3.0。在发射阶段，LORRI执行了多种仪器调试活动，以备科学观测之需。在2006年春季和夏季，在LORRI孔径门开启之前，收集了一系列的偏置图像。同时，对LORRI内部灯具的图像也进行了采集。2006年8月29日，LORRI孔径门被打开，随后几天内对开放星团M7中的恒星进行了广泛的校准观测。对木星、天王星、海王星和冥王星等行星目标也进行了调试观测。木星的观测专门进行，以测试LORRI在曝光时间相较于帧传输时间较短（即短于13毫秒）的情况下进行成像的能力。在Ralph仪器调试测试期间，还进行了一些仅包含直方图数据的太阳散射光观测。
