ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P RSI: Gravity Measurements During Extension Phase

Rosetta Radio Science data collected by NASA during the ROSETTA EXTENSION 1 phase from 2016-01-01 to 2016-04-05. The dataset contains global gravity measurements at comet 67P, covering a specific observation window on 2016-02-17. The data was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Model comet mass and density based on gravity measurements
• Analyze gravitational field variations over time during the specified observation window
• Validate orbital dynamics models for the Rosetta spacecraft near comet 67P
• Study comet interior structure based on inferred gravity data

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific, well-documented mission phase (ROSETTA EXTENSION 1)
• Provides a precise observation time range (2016-02-17T14:02:35.000 to 2016-02-17T19:12:19.000)
• Source is a recognized space agency (NASA)

Limitations

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