NASA JPL Mission To Jupiter Galileo NIMS Earth 2 Encounter CD GO_1103 V1 -- Spectral Image Cubes and Browse Products Volume 3 S/C Clock 1632665 to 1655420
In good condition. New and still sealed. Please see detailed photos.
This is the third CD-ROM volume to contain Galileo Near Infrared Mapping
Spectrometer (NIMS) Spectral Image Cubes. It was generated by the NIMS
team in collaboration with the Planetary Data System (PDS) and the
Multimission Image Processing System (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) acquired by the NIMS instrument during Galileo's second
Earth/Moon encounter. Earlier volumes in this series covered the Venus
encounter and the first Earth/Moon encounter; further volumes will
contain cubes from the Gaspra and Ida asteroid encounters and the various
encounters of Jupiter and its satellites beginning in December, 1995.
(NIMS EDRs are archived in a separate CD-ROM series.)
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 not 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-cone direction at each grating
step to produce a swath of data. The scan platform on which the
instrument is mounted is commanded in the cone and clock directions
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.
