NASA JPL Mission To Jupiter Galileo NIMS Europa 15 & 16 Encounters CD GO_1116 V1 -- Spectral Image Cubes and Browse Products Volume 16 S/C Clock 4498598 to 4646936 --
In good condition. New and still sealed. Please see detailed photos.
GO_1116 is the sixteenth 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
fifteenth and sixteenth encounters with Jupiter and its satellites: the
Europa 15 (E15) and Europa 16 (E16) encounters, which continue Galileo's
Europa Mission (GEM), an extension of the Primary Mission. Earlier volumes
in this series covered the Venus encounter, the two Earth/Moon encounters
and the Jupiter Primary Mission; later volumes will contain cubes from
subsequent GEM 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

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.
