ROSETTA-LANDER 67P: SESAME 2 SDL Phase Data for Comet 67P

Edited data from the SESAME instrument on the ROSETTA Lander, acquired during the SDL phase. The primary target is comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This dataset conforms to the Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface mechanical and electrical properties based on SESAME instrument data.
• Validate models of cometary activity and nucleus structure using data from the SDL phase.
• Study the interaction between the comet's surface and the Rosetta lander using the archived experiment documentation.

Strengths

• Data conforms to the Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6.
• Includes documentation describing the SESAME experiment.

Limitations

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