ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P SREM 2 PRELANDING MTP005: Radiation Count Rates

The Medium Term Plan 5 period of the PRELANDING mission phase contains count rates (1/s) and their standard deviations measured by the Standard Radiation Environment Monitor (SREM) instrument on the Rosetta spacecraft. The primary target is comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. These CODMAC Level 2 Experiment Data Record data were provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Monitor spacecraft radiation exposure based on count rates and standard deviations.
• Analyze radiation environment variability during the PRELANDING mission phase.
• Correlate radiation measurements with spacecraft position relative to comet 67P.

Strengths

• Data is CODMAC Level 2 Experiment Data Record, indicating a processed standard.
• Includes standard deviations alongside count rates, providing error estimates.

Limitations

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