ROSETTA-ORBITER: Comet 67P Gravity Measurements from Pre-Landing Phase

Radio Science data from the Rosetta mission's PRELANDING phase, collected between 2014-01-21 and 2014-11 18. The dataset contains Global Gravity measurements for comet 67P, with a specific time interval from 2014-10-20T15:12:40.000 to 2014-10-20T21:48:12.500. It was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on 2026-03-13.

Use Cases

• Modeling the gravitational field of comet 67P based on the global gravity measurement.
• Analyzing spacecraft trajectory and orbital dynamics during the pre-landing phase.
• Studying temporal variations in comet properties based on the specified time-series data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Rosetta mission operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• The dataset has a precisely defined temporal coverage for the gravity measurement: 2014-10-20T15:12:40.000 to 2014-10-20T21:48:12.500.
• It was last updated on 2026-03-13, suggesting recent metadata maintenance.

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.
