ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P OSIWAC: Calibrated Comet Images from Prelanding Phase

OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera images of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, radiometrically calibrated in W/m^2/sr/nm. NASA's dataset covers the PRELANDING mission phase from August 1 to September 2, 2014. Version 2.0 includes corrections from an external peer review, updated documentation, and improved handling of images with missing packets.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface reflectance based on radiometric calibration in W/m^2/sr/nm
• Study geometric features of comet 67P based on distortion-corrected images
• Assess image data quality based on updated quality maps detailing shutter backtravel and readout issues

Strengths

• CODMAC level 4 data indicates radiometric calibration and geometric correction
• Version 2.0 supersedes previous deliveries with corrections from an October 2018 external peer review
• Specific temporal coverage from 2014-08-01T10:00:00.000 to 2014-09-02T09:59:59.000

Limitations

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