ROSETTA-ORBITER LUTETIA OSINAC 4: Asteroid 21 Lutetia Images from 2010 Fly-By

From 2010-05-17 to 2010-09-03, the Rosetta spacecraft's OSIRIS Narrow Angle Camera captured images of asteroid 21 Lutetia. This dataset contains processed, calibrated, and corrected image data in reflectance units, representing the first version (V1.0) of this collection. The data was produced by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).

Use Cases

• Analyze asteroid surface reflectance properties based on the calibrated reflectance units mentioned in the description
• Study the geometric features of asteroid 21 Lutetia based on the corrected and resampled image data
• Validate or compare remote sensing models for asteroids using the solar stray light corrected data

Strengths

• Data is processed to CODMAC level 4, indicating radiometric calibration and geometric correction
• Covers a specific mission phase (LUTETIA FLY-BY) with a defined time range from 2010-05-17 to 2010-09-03
• First version (V1.0) of a dataset from a major space agency (NASA)

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
