ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Calibrated Reflectance Images from Rendezvous Manoeuvre 1

NASA's Rosetta spacecraft OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera captured this solar stray light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected image data in reflectance units. The dataset covers the period from 2010-09 04 to 2011-07-13, with the prime objective being instrument commissioning and calibration. This version V1.0 is the first release of the dataset.

Use Cases

• Calibrate instrument response models based on the described solar stray light and radiometric corrections
• Assess geometric distortion in wide-angle space cameras based on the resampled, corrected image data
• Analyze reflectance properties of opportunistic targets observed during the commissioning phase
• Validate data processing pipelines for level 4 (CODMAC) space mission datasets

Strengths

• Data is processed to CODMAC level 4, indicating solar stray light correction, radiometric calibration, and geometric distortion correction
• Covers a defined time range from 2010-09-04T00:00:00.000 to 2011-07-13T23:59:59.000
• Originates from a NASA planetary science mission, suggesting authoritative collection and processing

Limitations

• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
