Item description for NASA JPL Mission To Jupiter Galileo NIMS Callisto 9 Encounters CD GO

NASA JPL Mission To Jupiter Galileo NIMS Callisto 9 Encounters CD GO_1112 V1 -- Spectral Image Cubes and Browse Products Volume 12 S/C Clock 4015483 to 4124676 --

In good condition. New. Please see detailed photos.

GO_1112 is the twelfth 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 of Jupiter during

Galileo's ninth encounter with the Jupiter system: the Callisto 9 (C9)

encounter. (C9 data of Jupiter's satellites are on the previous volume

in this series.) Earlier volumes covered the preceding Jupiter

encounters and the cruise encounters with Venus and the Earth & Moon.

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.

USA SELLERS.

I accept PayPal. I also combine shipping on multiple orders. I can oftentimes combine shipping for one low price- as long as the items won are similar in size, etc. For instance, if you win a group of 5 cards in 5 separate auctions, I should be able to group them all together in one padded envelope for a low shipping price. Be sure to let me know if you think combined shipping makes sense for your order. Also, when paying for multiple winnings, please pay with one combined payment.
