ROSETTA-ORBITER MIRO: Spectroscopic and Continuum Data from Comet 67P

Spectroscopic, continuum, and engineering data collected by the MIRO instrument during the Rosetta mission's Extension 3 phase at comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The data is provided as level 2 table files by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. The dataset was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze molecular composition of comet 67P based on spectroscopic data
• Study thermal properties and continuum emission of the comet nucleus
• Validate instrument performance and calibrate models using engineering data
• Correlate MIRO observations with other Rosetta mission instrument data

Strengths

• Data originates from a major NASA-led space mission
• Contains three distinct data types: spectroscopic, continuum, and engineering

Limitations

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