The HAYABUSA spacecraft included a LIght
        Detection and Ranging  (LIDAR) altimeter. The primary objective of    
        LIDAR was to establish the range between the HAYABUSA spacecraft and  
        the asteroid Itokawa for navigation purposes during the surveying and 
        collection phases of the mission. It provided excellent estimates of  
        the location of the spacecraft relative to the asteroid.  The         
        Experiment Data Record (EDR) and Calibrated Data Record (CDR) from the
        Hayabusa LIDAR experiment are included in this data set. This updated 
        version of the HAYABUSA LIDAR data includes a new CDR where the       
        offsets between a high resolution shape model and the LIDAR data were 
        minimized by optimizing the spacecraft trajectory.
