ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Calibrated Reflectance Images from Cruise Phase 5

ROSETTA-ORBITER CHECKOUT OSIWAC 4 CR5 RDR-REFLECT V1.0 contains radiometric calibrated and geometric distortion corrected image data in reflectance units. The data was acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during the CRUISE 5 mission phase, covering the period from 2009-12-14 to 2010-05-16. This version V1.0 is the first version of this dataset, produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Use Cases

• Calibrate optical space instruments based on the radiometric calibration and geometric correction described.
• Analyze reflectance properties of celestial targets observed during the cruise phase.
• Develop or test image processing algorithms for spacecraft camera data.
• Study the performance and commissioning data of the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera.

Strengths

• Data is radiometric calibrated and geometric distortion corrected, indicating a processed scientific product.
• Covers a defined time range from 2009-12 14 to 2010-05-16.
• Produced by the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The description notes the prime objective was calibration, with no identifiable prime target, which may limit scientific analysis scope.
