PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

Instrument Description
LORRI is a narrow-angle (field of view= 0.29 degrees), high-resolution (4.95 μrad pixels), Ritchey-Chrétien telescope with a 20.8-cm diameter primary mirror, a focal length of 263 cm, and a three-lens, field-flattening assembly. A 1024X1024 pixel (optically active region), thinned, backside-illuminated charge-coupled device (CCD) detector is used in the focal plane unit and is operated in frame-transfer mode. LORRI provides panchromatic imaging over a bandpass that extends approximately from 350 nm to 850 nm.

Measurement Objectives
  • High-resolution images from LORRI will yield important information on Pluto’s geology and surface morphology, collisional history, and atmosphere–surface interactions.
  • At Jupiter a series of observations were carried out within the constraints of calibration and shake-down activities for the Pluto mission.

The LORRI data are housed at the PDS/SBN node
