ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P OSIWAC 2 EXT2-MTP028: Comet 67P Images from April-May 2016

Uncalibrated image data acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during the ROSETTA EXTENSION 2 mission phase. The dataset covers the period from 2016-04-05T23:25:00.000 to 2016-05-03T23:25:00.000, targeting comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko 1 (1969 R1). This version V3.0 supersedes previous deliveries with corrections and updates following external peer reviews.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface morphology based on uncalibrated image data.
• Study temporal changes on comet 67P during the specified mission phase.
• Assess image data quality using the updated quality map and documentation.
• Compare corrected data with previous versions for validation studies.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 28-day period from April to May 2016.
• Version V3.0 includes corrections from external peer reviews and updated documentation.
• Dataset targets a specific prime target: comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data is uncalibrated image data in DN unit, requiring further processing for scientific analysis.
