ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P VIRTIS 2: Comet Telemetry Data from March 2016

Digital numbers from telemetry packages of the VIRTIS instrument aboard the Rosetta spacecraft. This volume contains data collected in the vicinity of comet 67P during the EXTENSION 1 MTP027 phase, which occurred from 2016-03-09 to 2016-04-06. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyzing comet 67P's surface composition based on VIRTIS instrument telemetry
• Studying temporal changes in comet activity during the specified month-long phase
• Calibrating remote sensing instrument models using raw digital number data

Strengths

• Data originates from a specific, documented mission phase (EXTENSION 1 MTP027)
• Provides a precise temporal coverage from 2016-03-09 to 2016-04-06
• Source is the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Limitations

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