ROSETTA-ORBITER ALICE 2: UV Spectrometer Data for Comet 67P, 2014

The Rosetta Orbiter ALICE UV Spectrometer collected Level 2 data during the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko Prelanding mission phase. This V3.0 dataset supersedes the previous V2.0 version with improved documentation. The data acquisition period spanned from 2014-01-21 to 2014-11-19.

Use Cases

• Analyzing comet composition based on ultraviolet spectral data.
• Studying temporal changes in comet emissions during the prelanding mission phase.
• Comparing spectral data quality between V2.0 and the improved V3.0 dataset.
• Modeling comet surface and atmosphere interactions using UV spectrometry.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 10-month mission phase from January to November 2014.
• The V3.0 version supersedes V2.0 with improved documentation.
• Data originates from the Rosetta Orbiter mission, a major NASA-led space science project.

Limitations

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