ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P VIRTIS 2 EXTENSION 2 MTP030: Comet Telemetry Data

NASA's Rosetta spacecraft collected telemetry data from the VIRTIS instrument during its EXTENSION 2 MTP030 phase. The data consists of digital numbers (DN) from the vicinity of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The observations occurred from June 1, 2016 to June 29, 2016.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface and atmospheric properties based on VIRTIS instrument telemetry
• Study temporal changes in comet 67P during a specific orbital phase
• Validate and calibrate remote sensing models using raw digital number data

Strengths

• Data originates from the NASA Rosetta mission, a major space exploration project
• Observations cover a specific 29-day period from 2016-06-01 to 2016-06-29

Limitations

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