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

National Aeronautics and Space Administration data containing digital numbers from the VIRTIS instrument telemetry packages on the Rosetta spacecraft. This volume covers the EXTENSION 3 MTP035 phase, which occurred from 2016-09 26 to 2016-09-29 in the vicinity of comet 67P.

Use Cases

• Analyze spectral signatures of comet 67P based on VIRTIS instrument telemetry.
• Study temporal changes in cometary activity during the September 2016 observation window.
• Validate or calibrate models of cometary composition using raw digital number data.

Strengths

• Data originates from the authoritative Rosetta mission led by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Covers a specific, defined observation period from 2016-09-26 to 2016-09-29.

Limitations

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