Calibrated Images for the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for OpNav (DRACO) instrument, Version 1.0
PDS Identifier: urn:nasa:pds:dart:data_dracocal::1.0
Status: Final Publication Preparation
DOI: 10.26007/M6Y3-MG52
Abstract: This data collection contains calibrated images from the Didymos Reconnaissance and Asteroid Camera for Optical navigation (DRACO) instrument flown aboard the impactor spacecraft of NASA's Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) mission. These images have been calibrated to either radiance or reflectance, depending on the mission phase, and have been put into a simple 2D fits format. Ancillary files used in the calibration process are included in the data set as either 2D fits format or ASCII fixed-width table format. The DART mission was a planetary defense mission designed to test and measure the deflection caused by a kinetic impactor (the spacecraft) on the orbit of Dimorphos asteroid around its primary, (65803) Didymos.
This collection has been reviewed, edited, and submitted for final archiving and publication, which is in progress If you need to access the data prior to that publication, please contact Ludmilla Kolokova (lkolokol at umd.edu) at the Small Bodies Node.
