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

This data set contains Raw data taken by New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument (LORRI) 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.
