ROSETTA-ORBITER OSIWAC: Solar Stray Light Corrected Images from Rendezvous Manoeuvre 1

NASA's CODMAC level 4 dataset contains radiometrically calibrated and geometrically corrected image data from the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft. The data, measured in W/m^2/sr/nm, was acquired during the RENDEZVOUS MANOEUVRE 1 phase from 2010-09 04 to 2011-07-13. The prime objective was instrument commissioning and calibration, with several targets of opportunity observed.

Use Cases

• Calibrate remote sensing instruments based on the described radiometric and geometric correction processes.
• Analyze solar stray light effects in deep-space imagery based on the dataset's stated correction for this artifact.
• Study instrument performance during spacecraft commissioning phases based on the stated prime objective.
• Process and validate early-phase mission data from the Rosetta orbiter based on the described CODMAC level 4 status.

Strengths

• Data is processed to CODMAC level 4, indicating radiometric calibration and geometric correction.
• Covers a defined time range from 2010-09-04 to 2011-07-13.
• Includes correction for solar stray light, a specific and documented processing step.

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.
• The description notes the prime target was calibration, with no identifiable prime scientific target.
