The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Calibrated Data Record Narrow Angle Camera (CDRNAC) data products contain calibrated panchromatic NAC image data. NAC Digital Numbers (DNs) are decompanded and images are radiometrically calibrated to radiance (i.e. star observations) or I/F (i.e. lunar observations). Radiance images are archived as floating point values (4 bytes per pixel) and I/F images as scaled signed-integer values (2 bytes per pixel). The I/F values are multiplied by 32767 before being converted to signed-integer.

The image data consists of one series of contiguous lines up to 52,224 lines with 5,000 samples in full resolution mode, or 104,448 lines with 5,000 samples in 2x crosstrack summation mode. The CDRNAC data are delivered in 16-bit format.

Specifications for the right and left NACs are in the table below. The NAC-L is off-pointed ~2.85° from the NAC-R so that the footprints of the two images overlap ~130 pixels.
