ROSETTA-LANDER COSAC: Calibrated Comet 67P Data

Calibrated data from the COSAC instrument onboard the ROSETTA Lander, acquired during the comet 67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO RBD phase. The data conforms to Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6, and the archive includes documentation describing the COSAC experiment. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing comet surface composition based on calibrated COSAC instrument data.
• Validating planetary data processing pipelines against PDS 3.6 standards.
• Studying the properties of comet 67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO during the RBD phase.

Strengths

• Data is calibrated to CODMAC level 3, indicating a processed state.
• Conforms to the authoritative Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6.
• Includes documentation describing the COSAC experiment.

Limitations

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