Description
NASA's Rosetta mission collected this science data from comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko between 2016-01-13 and 2016-04-05 during its Extension phase 1. The dataset contains measurements from the ROSINA instrument suite, including the COPS, DFMS, and RTOF sensors, focusing on the comet's gaseous coma. Version 2.0 includes added missing DFMS files and removal of corrupted data.
Use Cases
Modeling comet outgassing rates based on sensor measurements from the ROSINA suite.
Analyzing the temporal evolution of comet 67P's coma composition during the 2016 extension phase.
Comparing gas density and pressure data from the COPS, DFMS, and RTOF sensors.
Studying the correlation between cometary activity and orbital position using the specified time range.
Strengths
Data originates from the authoritative Rosetta mission operated by the European Space Agency with NASA involvement.
Covers a specific, defined operational phase from 2016-01-13 to 2016-04-05.
Version 2.0 indicates curation, with missing files added and corrupted data removed.
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.
Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the specific 84-day mission extension phase.
Provenance
Source
National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), likely via the Planetary Data System (PDS).
Collection Method
Acquired by the ROSINA instrument suite (COPS, DFMS, RTOF sensors) on the Rosetta orbiter.
Time Range
2016-01-13 to 2016-04-05
