PDS3 CERTIFIED













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
