EPOXI MARS OBS - MRI CALIBRATED IMAGES V2.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: July 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

This dataset contains calibrated 750-nm filter images of Mars acquired by the Deep Impact Medium Resolution Visible CCD (MRI) for the EPOCh project during the second cruise phase of the EPOXI mission. One set of observations was acquired on 20-21 November 2009 to characterize Mars as an analog for extrasolar planets. The observing period lasted approximately 24 hours, and one MRI image was taken simultaneously with the first north/south scan of the HRI IR spectrometer at half-hour intervals to provide context for the spectral scans. Version 2.0 includes the application of a horizontal destriping process, new absolute calibration constants for filters, and revised electronic crosstalk calibration files.
