ROSETTA-ORBITER RPCICA Earth Swingby Data: Corrected Counts

NASA's ROSETTA spacecraft collected this data during its second Earth swingby. The dataset contains corrected and resampled raw data from the RPCICA instrument, processed to remove cross-talk and noise, resulting in values in counts. The data was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze instrument noise characteristics based on the described noise treatment and cross-talk correction
• Study spacecraft instrument performance during Earth swingby events based on the mission context
• Compare corrected data in counts to physical unit data based on the mention of 'L4 CORR'

Strengths

• Data has been corrected for cross-talk using an automatic algorithm
• Noise has been treated to be even regardless of onward noise suppression

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
• The description states 'RPC-ICA was on, but did not obtain any useful measurements', suggesting limited scientific content
