ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P: Radio Science Gravity Measurements Pre-Landing

From 2014-01-21 to 2014-11-18, the Rosetta orbiter collected Radio Science data during its PRELANDING phase at comet 67P. The dataset includes a specific Global Gravity measurement on 2014-11-17 from 13:54:50.000 to 20:30:47.000. It was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Use Cases

• Modeling the gravitational field of comet 67P based on the global gravity measurement.
• Analyzing time-series radio science signals for comet interior structure studies.
• Calibrating instrument data from the Rosetta mission's pre-landing phase.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Rosetta space mission operated by NASA.
• Covers a defined pre-landing phase from 2014-01-21 to 2014-11 18.
• Includes a specific, high-resolution gravity measurement event on 2014-11-17.

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.
