Version 6.0 includes observations of distant Kuiper Belt objects, asteroids, and stellar targets acquired between August 14, 2018 and April 30, 2022. The dataset also contains images of the approach and departure field around Arrokoth.
Use Cases
Analyze morphology and surface features of Kuiper Belt objects based on DKBO observations
Study asteroid properties and orbits based on observations of specific asteroids
Measure cosmic optical background and microlensing events based on demo data
Characterize the Arrokoth encounter environment based on approach and departure field images
Strengths
Version 6.0 includes data from a specific 4-year period (08/14/2018 to 04/30/2022)
Observations cover 14 named DKBOs, multiple asteroids, and stellar targets
Includes calibrated data from a specific mission phase (KEM1 ENCOUNTER)
