Description
A CODMAC level 4 dataset contains solar stray-light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected image data in reflectance units. It was acquired by the OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during the ROSETTA EXTENSION 1 mission phase from 2016-02-09 to 2016-03-08, targeting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. This V1.0 version is the first release from NASA, corrected after a September 2019 external peer review.
Use Cases
Analyze comet surface albedo and reflectance properties based on the calibrated reflectance units.
Study geometric features and terrain on comet 67P based on the distortion-corrected image data.
Model comet activity and outgassing processes based on time-series imagery from the specified mission phase.
Validate photometric correction models based on the described stray-light and radiometric calibration.
Strengths
Data has undergone multiple correction processes including solar stray-light, in-field stray-light, radiometric, and geometric distortion corrections.
Covers a defined time range from 2016-02 09T23:25:00.000 to 2016-03-08T23:24:59.000.
Dataset is at CODMAC level 4, indicating a processed and calibrated product ready for scientific analysis.
Version V1.0 represents a peer-reviewed release, having been corrected after an external review in September 2019.
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.
Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the specific 28-day mission phase.
