This data set includes the complete set of New Horizons (NH) SPICE data files (``kernel files''), which can be accessed using SPICE software. The SPICE data contain geometric and other ancillary information needed to recover the full value of the science instrument data. In particular SPICE kernels provide spacecraft and planetary ephemerides, instrument mounting alignments, spacecraft orientation, and data needed for relevant time conversions.

This data set contains Raw data taken by the New Horizons Long Range Reconnaissance Imager instrument during the pluto cruise mission phase. This is VERSION 2.0 of this data set.
The spacecraft was in hibernation for much of the Pluto Cruise mission phase,
and the focus for LORRI during Annual CheckOuts (ACOs) one through four
(ACO1-4) was preparation for the Pluto Encounter in 2015, including functional
tests, calibrations, and encounter rehearsals. Science observations performed
by LORRI during this phase included the following targets: KBO objects KBO
2005 FY9 (Makemake) and KBO 2003 EL61 (Haumea); Centaur object Chariklo; the
planets Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune. The ACO tests also had LORRI observing
several other targets: Pluto; the star field that will be visible 3 days
before Pluto closest approach in 2015; the M7 star field; the star Vega. A
full functional test was performed during ACO1 in 2007, with ACO 'Lite' tests
performed during ACO2-4 in 2008, 2009 and 2010. Specific tests and
calibrations performed during ACOs included the following: scattered light
test (2007, 2008, 2010); Pluto OpNav test (2007, 2008); lamp tests (2007,
2008, 2009, 2010); star tracker calibration test (2008); GNC mosaic settling
test (2008); LEISA-LORRI ridealong (2008); scattered light dither test (2010). The changes in Version 2.0 were re-running of the ancillary data in the data product, updated geometry from newer SPICE kernels, minor editing of the documentation, catalogs, etc., and resolution of liens from the December, 2014 review, plus those from the May, 2016 review of the Pluto Encounter data sets. The lossy images from Version 1.0 were recalibrated, including expanding the 'bad' pixel designation of 8x8 boxes affected by the first 34 pixels of header information in the calibrated quality map. No new observations were added with this version (V2.0).

This data set contains visible-wavelength (0.435-0.925 micron) spectra for 1341 main-belt asteroids observed during the second phase of the Small Main-belt Asteroid Spectroscopic Survey (SMASSII) between August 1993 and March 1999. The purpose of the SMASSII survey was to provide a new basis for studying the compositional diversity and structure of the asteroid belt. Based on experiences gained from the earlier SMASS survey, SMASSII focused on producing an even larger, internally consistent set of CCD spectra for small (D < 20 km) main-belt asteroids. The observing strategies and procedures used during SMASSII roughly parallel those used in the first survey (Xu et al. Icarus 115 1-35, 1995 [XUETAL1995]), though several minor changes were made in instrumentation and in portions of the data reduction process.
