EPOXI: Thermal Telemetry from Deep Impact Spacecraft Instruments, 2007-2013

Instrument thermal telemetry for the entire EPOXI mission from 04 October 2007 to 08 August 2013. Measurements were collected by 59 thermal sensors located in the HRII, HRIV, and MRI instruments, on the instrument platform, and on the solar wings of the Deep Impact flyby spacecraft. This Version 3.0 dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and adds thermal data from 06 February 2011 to 08 August 2013.

Use Cases

• Modeling spacecraft thermal behavior based on time-series temperature measurements.
• Analyzing instrument platform temperature stability based on sensor readings.
• Detecting thermal anomalies or trends over the mission duration.
• Correlating solar wing temperatures with spacecraft orientation or operational phases.

Strengths

• Covers the entire EPOXI mission from 04 October 2007 to 08 August 2013.
• Includes data from 59 thermal sensors across multiple spacecraft components.
• Version 3.0 adds data from 06 February 2011 to 08 August 2013.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
