Description
NASA's Rosetta Orbiter collected this data from the RPC-MIP instrument during the PRELANDING mission phase between July 25, 2014, and October 16, 2014. The primary target was comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. The data conforms to Planetary Data System Standards, Version 3.6, and is the V3.0 release updated after Science Review.
Use Cases
Modeling the cometary plasma environment based on RPC-MIP instrument measurements.
Analyzing the interaction between the solar wind and comet 67P during the prelanding phase.
Validating spacecraft instrument performance and calibration using the documented experiment data.
Strengths
Data conforms to the Planetary Data System Standards, Version 3.6, ensuring a defined level of quality and interoperability.
Covers a specific 84-day mission phase (2014/07/25 to 2014/10/16) with a clear primary target (comet 67P).
Is the V3.0 version updated after a formal Science Review process.
