ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Uncalibrated Rosetta Spacecraft Images from 2008

Uncalibrated image data in DN units acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during the CRUISE 4-1 mission phase. The data covers the period from 2008-01-28 to 2008 08-03, with the prime objective being commissioning and calibration. This version V2.0 was reprocessed after an October 2018 PSA/PDS external peer review.

Use Cases

• Calibrating camera sensor response based on uncalibrated DN unit data
• Analyzing spacecraft instrument performance during commissioning phases
• Processing raw space imagery for scientific observation of targets of opportunity

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 6-month mission phase from 2008-01-28 to 2008-08-03
• 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
