ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Uncalibrated Spacecraft Images from 2005-2006

NASA's ROSETTA-ORBITER CHECKOUT OSIWAC 2 CR2 EDR V2.0 dataset contains uncalibrated image data in DN units. The data was acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during its CRUISE 2 mission phase from 2005-04 05 to 2006-07-28. This version 2.0 dataset was reprocessed following an external peer review in October 2018.

Use Cases

• Calibrating camera sensor response based on uncalibrated DN unit data.
• Analyzing spacecraft instrument performance during the commissioning phase.
• Studying opportunistic celestial targets observed during the cruise phase.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 15-month mission phase from 2005-04-05 to 2006-07-28.
• Dataset is versioned (V2.0) and has been reprocessed following an external peer review.

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.
