ROSETTA-ORBITER: OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera Images of Comet 67P

Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko is the prime target of this image dataset from the Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera. The National Aeronautics and Space Administration produced this CODMAC level 4 dataset, containing radiometric and geometric corrected images in reflectance units. Data covers the period from 2014-06 04 to 2014-07-02 during the PRELANDING mission phase.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface reflectance and albedo based on the radiometric calibrated, reflectance unit data
• Study geometric features and distortion of comet 67P based on the geometric distortion corrected images
• Model solar stray light effects in space imagery based on the corrected data mentioned in the description
• Conduct temporal analysis of comet activity during the pre-landing phase based on the specified date range

Strengths

• Data is processed to CODMAC level 4, indicating solar stray light correction, radiometric calibration, and geometric distortion correction
• Covers a defined temporal range from 2014-06-04T10:50:00.000 to 2014-07-02T08:34:59.000
• Version V1.0 represents a lien corrected dataset following an external peer review in October 2018

Limitations

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