ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Calibrated Images of Comet 67P

OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera radiometric calibrated image data in W/m^2/sr/nm, acquired by the Rosetta spacecraft during the ROSETTA EXTENSION 2 mission phase from 2016-05-31 to 2016-06-28. The prime target is comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko 1 (1969 R1). This CODMAC level 3 data set is version V3.0, delivered by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface albedo and reflectance based on radiometric calibration in W/m^2/sr/nm
• Study temporal changes in comet 67P's activity during the specified mission phase
• Validate and improve instrument calibration models based on documented updates to shutter backtravel and readout handling
• Assess image data quality for scientific analysis using the provided quality map and updated user guide

Strengths

• Data is radiometrically calibrated to a physical unit (W/m^2/sr/nm)
• Version V3.0 includes corrections from external peer reviews and improved handling of missing packets
• Specific time range coverage from 2016-05-31T23:25:00.000 to 2016-06-28T23:24:59.000
• Updated documentation includes a FAQ section and a section on image data quality

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
