ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P: VIRTIS Calibrated Data for Comet 67P

Comet 67P data from the VIRTIS instrument on the Rosetta spacecraft during the EXTENSION 3 MTP032 phase from 2016-07-27 to 2016-08-10. This release contains calibrated data and supersedes the previous V1.0 version with major updates. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Analyze comet surface composition based on calibrated spectral data.
• Study temporal changes in comet activity during the specified observation phase.
• Validate or update comet models using the superseded and updated data version.

Strengths

• Data is calibrated, indicating processed and corrected measurements.
• Dataset supersedes V1.0 with major updates on data and documentation.
• Temporal coverage is precisely defined from 2016-07-27 to 2016-08-10.

Limitations

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