ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P SREM 2 PRELANDING MTP008: Radiation Count Rates

Count rates and standard deviations measured by the Standard Radiation Environment Monitor (SREM) instrument on the Rosetta spacecraft. The data are CODMAC Level 2 Experiment Data Records, providing a measure of radiation in the spacecraft environment during the Medium Term Plan 8 period of the PRELANDING mission phase. The primary target is comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Use Cases

• Analyzing radiation exposure levels for spacecraft systems based on count rates.
• Studying the radiation environment near comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko based on SREM measurements.
• Validating spacecraft shielding models based on measured count rates and standard deviations.
• Correlating radiation data with other mission phases based on the PRELANDING and MTP008 context.

Strengths

• Data is CODMAC Level 2 Experiment Data Records, indicating a processed data level.
• Includes standard deviations alongside count rates, providing uncertainty metrics.
• Targeted for a specific mission phase (PRELANDING MTP008) and primary target (comet 67P).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
