EMIT L1B Corrected Spacecraft Attitude and Ephemeris V001

The Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) instrument measures surface mineralogy, targeting the Earth’s arid dust source regions. EMIT is installed on the International Space Station (ISS). EMIT uses imaging spectroscopy to take mineralogical measurements of the sunlit regions of interest between 52 degrees N latitude and 52 degrees S latitude. An interactive map showing the regions being investigated, current and forecasted data coverage, and additional data resources can be found on the VSWIR Imaging Spectroscopy Interface for Open Science (VISIONS): EMIT Open Data Portal (https://earth.jpl.nasa.gov/emit/data/data-portal/coverage-and-forecasts/). The EMIT Level 1B Corrected Spacecraft Attitude and Ephemeris (EMITL1BATT) Version 1 data product provides both corrected and uncorrected attitude quaternions and spacecraft ephemeris data obtained from the ISS, including Earth-centered inertial (ECI) position and velocity, and associated time elements. The data are provided in 1 second intervals, and each product file contains vectors from the duration of the orbit. The time elements are copied from the ISS raw data. The data for each EMITL1BATT granule are delivered in a single Network Common Data Format 4 (netCDF-4) file.Known Issues* Data acquisition gap: From September 13, 2022, through January 6, 2023, a power issue outside of EMIT caused a pause in operations. Due to this shutdown, no data were acquired during that timeframe.
