ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P OSINAC 2 EXT3-MTP032: Uncalibrated Comet Images

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is the prime target of this collection of uncalibrated image data acquired by the OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft. The dataset covers a specific period from July 26 to August 9, 2016. It is a CODMAC level 2 dataset provided by NASA and supersedes previous versions with corrected data and updated documentation.

Use Cases

• Analyzing comet surface morphology based on uncalibrated image data
• Studying temporal changes on comet 67P during the specified mission phase
• Assessing image quality issues based on documented shutter backtravel and readout problems
• Comparing data quality across versions using updated header keywords and quality maps

Strengths

• Version 3.0 supersedes previous deliveries with corrections from external peer reviews
• Updated documentation includes a section on FAQ and image data quality
• Image headers contain an updated DATA_QUALITY_ID keyword

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
