Description
NASA's Rosetta spacecraft OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera captured solar stray light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometrically corrected image data in W/m^2/sr/nm during its CRUISE 2 mission phase. The dataset covers the period from April 5, 2005 to July 28, 2006, with the prime objective being instrument commissioning and calibration. This V1.0 release is the first version of this dataset.
Use Cases
Calibrating radiometric models for spaceborne cameras based on the solar stray light correction process described.
Analyzing instrument performance during commissioning phases based on the stated prime objective.
Studying targets of opportunity observed during cruise phases, as mentioned in the description.
Strengths
Data is processed to CODMAC level 4, indicating a high level of calibration and correction.
Images are radiometric calibrated with units of W/m^2/sr/nm, providing physically meaningful measurements.
Coverage spans a specific 16-month period from 2005-04-05 to 2006-07-28.
Limitations
Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
Row count, file formats, and column-level documentation are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
