Liciacube Unit Key Explorer (LUKE) Light Italian Cubesat for Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube) Raw Data Collection, Version 1.0

This data collection contains the raw images taken by the LICIACube Unit Key Explorer (LUKE) instrument flown aboard the cubesat LICIACube deployed by the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft. LUKE images are of the DART impact with the asteroid Dimorphos and of ejecta plume evolution after impact. These images have been put into a simple 2D FITS format ready for calibration and analysis. The DART mission was a planetary defense mission designed to test and measure the deflection caused by a kinetic impactor (the DART spacecraft) on the orbit of Dimorphos asteroid around its primary, (65803) Didymos.

本数据集收录了搭载于立方星LICIACube上、由双小行星重定向测试（DART）航天器部署的LICIACube单元关键探索器（LUKE）仪器所拍摄的原始图像。LUKE图像记录了DART航天器对彗星Dimorphos的撞击事件及其撞击后的喷射物羽流演变过程。这些图像已被转换为简单的二维FITS格式，便于校准和分析。DART任务是一项行星防御任务，旨在测试和测量由动能撞击器（即DART航天器）对Dimorphos彗星绕其主星（65803）Didymos轨道造成的偏转效应。
