ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P RSI: Gravity Measurements at Comet 67P

A Rosetta Radio Science dataset collected during the ROSETTA EXTENSION 1 phase from 2016-01-01 to 2016-04-05. It contains Global Gravity measurements at comet 67P covering the period 2016-02-08T11:42:10.000 to 2016-02-08T12:25:32.500. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Modeling the gravitational field of comet 67P based on radio science measurements.
• Analyzing comet mass and density distribution based on gravity data.
• Studying comet dynamics and structure during the Rosetta mission extension phase.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 43-minute measurement window on 2016-02-08.
• Dataset is part of the Rosetta mission's extension phase from January to April 2016.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
