Liciacube Explorer Imaging for Asteroid (LEIA) Light Italian Cubesat for Imaging of Asteroids (LICIACube) Raw Data Collection, Version 1.0

This data collection contains the raw images takn by the LICIACube Explorer Imaging for Asteroid (LEIA) instrument flown aboard the cubesat LICIACube deployed by the Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft. LEIA 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.

本数据集收录了由立方星LICIACube搭载的LEIA成像仪（LICIACube Explorer Imaging for Asteroid）采集的原始图像。这些图像记录了DART任务中，DART探测器与双小行星重定向测试（Double Asteroid Redirection Test，简称DART）任务的目标小行星Dimorphos发生碰撞及其碰撞后喷溅物质羽流演化的过程。这些图像已被转换为简单的二维FITS格式，以便进行校准和分析。DART任务是一项行星防御任务，旨在测试并测量由动能撞击器（DART探测器）对围绕其主星（65803）迪摩索斯小行星轨道产生的偏转效应。
