ROSETTA-LANDER SESAME 2: Comet 67P Surface Data from FSS Phase

ROSETTA-LANDER 67P SESAME 2 FSS V1.0 contains edited data from the SESAME instrument on the Rosetta lander, acquired during the FSS phase. The primary target is comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The data conforms to Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6, and was last updated by NASA on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Analyzing comet surface physical properties based on SESAME instrument measurements.
• Modeling comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko's surface environment using acquired phase data.
• Validating planetary science models against PDS-standard observational data.

Strengths

• Data conforms to Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6.
• Data is edited to CODMAC level 2, indicating a processed state.
• Primary target is explicitly identified as comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Limitations

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