ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P VIRTIS 2 PRELANDING MTP009 V2.0

Digital numbers from the VIRTIS instrument telemetry packages on the Rosetta spacecraft during the PRELANDING MTP009 phase from 2014-10-24 to 2014 11-22. This version 2.0 dataset was produced by a fixed EGSE software, correcting an issue where the old software produced incomplete products reduced by one line. The data is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze spectral signatures of comet 67P's surface based on VIRTIS instrument telemetry
• Study temporal changes in comet activity during the pre-landing phase from October to November 2014
• Validate and compare data processing pipelines using the corrected version 2.0 software output
• Model comet nucleus properties using calibrated digital number readings from the spacecraft

Strengths

• Data covers a specific mission phase (PRELANDING MTP009) from 2014-10-24 to 2014-11-22
• Version 2.0 corrects a known software issue that produced incomplete products in the prior version
• Source is the authoritative National Aeronautics and Space Administration

Limitations

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