In good condition. New and still sealed. Please see detailed photos.
GO_1107 is the seventh CD-ROM volume to contain Galileo Near Infrared
Mapping Spectrometer (NIMS) Spectral Image Cubes and associated browse
products. It was generated by the NIMS team in collaboration with the
Planetary Data System (PDS) and the Multimission Image Processing
Subsystem (MIPS) for distribution to the various Galileo project
investigators, and to the community of planetary scientists.
This volume is the result of systematic processing of Experiment Data
Records (EDRs) derived from NIMS instrument data taken during Galileo's
fourth encounter with Jupiter and its satellites: the Europa 4 (E4)
encounter. There is also a small amount of calibration data from the
Jupiter 5 (J5) orbit. (There is no data from the fifth encounter because
Jupiter was behind the sun.) Earlier volumes in this series covered the
Venus encounter, the two Earth/Moon encounters and the preceding Jupiter
encounters; later volumes will contain cubes from subsequent encounters of
Jupiter and its satellites. (NIMS EDRs are archived in a separate CD-ROM
series: GO_10xx.)
The Galileo NIMS instrument is an imaging spectrometer which covers the
spectral range 0.7 to 5.2 micrometers, measuring both reflected sunlight
and emitted thermal radiation in a region incompletely studied by the
Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft. Seventeen detectors and a diffraction
grating operate to produce spectra over as many as 408 wavelengths. A
secondary mirror scans through 20 positions in the cross-track direction
at each grating step to produce a swath of data. The scan platform on
which the instrument is mounted is commanded in two dimensions to conduct
extensive mapping observations over the target. A complete description of
the NIMS instrument and scientific objectives is provided in the article
"NEAR-INFRARED MAPPING SPECTROMETER EXPERIMENT ON GALILEO", R. W. Carlson
et al., Space Science Reviews v. 60 p. 457-502, 1992. A digital preprint
of this article is included on this CD-ROM in the DOCUMENT.NIMSINST
directory. Additional information about NIMS may be found on the NIMS
web site (http://jumpy.igpp.ucla.edu/~nims) which is also linked from
the Galileo web site (http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/galileo/). WARNING: The
long-term existence and location of the Galileo and NIMS web sites
is uncertain.
