ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Solar-Stray-Light Corrected Images from Cruise 5

A CODMAC level 4 dataset contains solar stray light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected image data in W/m^2/sr/nm. It was acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft during the CRUISE 5 mission phase from 2009-12-14 to 2010-05-16. The dataset was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, with the prime objective being commissioning and calibration.

Use Cases

• Calibrate radiometric models based on the stray-light-corrected image data in W/m^2/sr/nm.
• Assess geometric distortion correction algorithms based on the resampled image data.
• Analyze instrument performance during the commissioning phase based on the calibration-focused observations.
• Study background solar stray light in deep space imagery based on the corrected data.

Strengths

• Data is processed to CODMAC level 4, indicating radiometric calibration and geometric correction.
• Covers a specific 5-month mission phase from December 2009 to May 2010.
• 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.
