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

NASA's Rosetta spacecraft collected digital telemetry numbers from the VIRTIS instrument near comet 67P. The data covers the EXTENSION 2 MTP030 phase from June 1 to June 29, 2016. This version 2.0 dataset was produced by a fixed EGSE software, correcting incomplete products from an older software version.

Use Cases

• Analyzing comet surface and atmosphere composition based on VIRTIS instrument telemetry
• Studying temporal changes in comet 67P's activity during a specific orbital phase
• Validating and comparing data processing software for spacecraft instruments

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 29-day observation period from 2016-06-01 to 2016-06-29
• Version 2.0 corrects incomplete products from a previous software version

Limitations

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