ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P OSINAC: Solar-Stray-Light-Corrected Images of Comet 67P

OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera image data from the Rosetta spacecraft's EXTENSION 3 mission phase, covering the period from 2016-08-09 to 2016-09-02. The dataset contains solar stray light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected image data in reflectance units. This version V1.0 is the first version of this dataset, corrected after an October 2018 external peer review.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface reflectance properties based on calibrated reflectance units
• Study geometric features of comet 67P based on distortion-corrected image data
• Model solar illumination effects on comet surfaces based on stray-light-corrected images
• Track temporal changes on comet 67P's surface based on data from a specific mission phase

Strengths

• Data is corrected for solar stray light, radiometric calibration, and geometric distortion
• Coverage spans a specific mission phase from 2016-08-09T23:25:00.000 to 2016-09-02T06:39:59.000
• Dataset is version V1.0, corrected after an October 2018 external peer review

Limitations

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