ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC 2: Rosetta Spacecraft Uncalibrated Images from 2008-2009

From 2008-10-06 to 2009-09-13, this dataset contains uncalibrated image data in DN units acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during its CRUISE 4-2 mission phase. The data was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) for commissioning and calibration purposes, with several targets of opportunity observed. This version V2.0 supersedes previous deliveries, having been reprocessed after an October 2018 external peer review.

Use Cases

• Assessing camera calibration and performance based on uncalibrated image data.
• Analyzing instrument behavior during the cruise phase based on the described mission timeline.
• Studying targets of opportunity observed during the commissioning period.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific 11-month mission phase from 2008-10-06 to 2009-09-13.
• Dataset is version V2.0, reprocessed after an October 2018 external peer review.
• Data originates from the authoritative source, the 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.
• Data is described as uncalibrated, requiring further processing for scientific analysis.
