ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P: RPCICA Solar Wind Interaction Data

Corrected and resampled calibrated data from the RPCICA instrument aboard the Rosetta spacecraft during its third mission extension. The dataset contains measurements of solar wind interaction with the atmosphere of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. It was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on March 13, —.

Use Cases

• Modeling solar wind interaction with a comet's atmosphere based on the described measurements.
• Analyzing plasma dynamics near comet 67P using the calibrated RPCICA instrument data.
• Studying temporal changes in the comet's exosphere during the Rosetta mission's third extension.

Strengths

• Data is corrected and resampled, indicating a level of post-processing for usability.
• Source is the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Last update timestamp is precisely recorded (2026-03-13 16:05:46.051504).

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.
• The license is listed as 'other-license-specified', requiring review for usage terms.
