ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P: Radio Science Gravity Measurements During Prelanding Phase

Rosetta spacecraft radio science data collected during the PRELANDING phase from 2014-01 21 to 2014-11-18. The dataset includes a specific Global Gravity measurement at comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko on 2014-10-26. This data was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Use Cases

• Model the gravitational field of comet 67P based on the global gravity measurement mentioned in the description.
• Analyze time-series radio signal data for the specific 6.5-hour observation window on 2014-10-26.
• Study comet nucleus properties and internal structure using the prelanding phase gravity data.
• Validate and calibrate radio science instrumentation models for deep space missions.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Rosetta mission operated by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a specific and critical prelanding observation phase from 2014-01-21 to 2014-11-18.
• Includes a precise global gravity measurement event on 2014-10-26T14:54:00.000 to 2014-10-26T21:30:32.000.

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.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
