ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P OSINAC: Comet 67P Reflectance Images from Rosetta Extension 3

CODMAC level 4 data set contains 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 3 mission phase, covering the period from 2016-06 28T23:25:00.000 to 2016-07-26T23:24:59.000. This version V1.0 is the first version of this dataset, corrected after an October 2018 PSA/PDS external peer review.

Use Cases

• Analyze surface albedo and reflectance properties based on radiometric calibrated images.
• Study cometary morphology and terrain based on geometric distortion corrected imagery.
• Model photometric properties of the comet nucleus based on normalized reflectance data.
• Track surface changes over the mission phase based on the specified temporal coverage.

Strengths

• Data is radiometric calibrated and geometric distortion corrected, indicating a processed, analysis-ready state.
• Covers a specific one-month mission phase from 2016-06-28 to 2016-07-26.
• Dataset version V1.0 has undergone an external peer review process, suggesting quality validation.

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.
