ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Solar Stray Light Corrected Images from 2004

NASA's CODMAC level 4 dataset contains solar stray light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected image data from the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft. The data was acquired during the COMMISSIONING 2 mission phase from September 6 to October 16, 2004, with a prime objective of instrument calibration. This V1.0 dataset represents the first version of this processed image collection.

Use Cases

• Calibrate remote sensing instruments based on the described radiometric calibration and stray light correction
• Analyze geometric distortion in space-based imagery based on the described resampled, corrected data
• Study instrument performance during spacecraft commissioning phases based on the stated prime objective
• Process and validate planetary image data workflows based on the described multi-step corrections

Strengths

• Data is processed to CODMAC level 4, indicating solar stray light correction, radiometric calibration, and geometric correction
• Covers a defined 41-day commissioning period from 2004-09-06 to 2004-10-16
• Published by the authoritative source 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
