ROSETTA-ORBITER LUTETIA OSIWAC 4: Asteroid Fly-By Images, 2010

Solar stray light corrected, radiometric calibrated, and geometric distortion corrected image data in W/m^2/sr/nm acquired by the OSIRIS Wide Angle Camera on the Rosetta spacecraft. The dataset covers the Lutetia fly-by mission phase from 2010-05-17 to 2010-09-03, with the prime target being asteroid 21 Lutetia. This V1.0 dataset is the first version of this data product from NASA.

Use Cases

• Analyze asteroid surface morphology based on calibrated image data.
• Study spectral reflectance properties based on radiometric calibration.
• Perform photometric modeling based on solar stray light correction.
• Map geometric features of asteroid 21 Lutetia based on distortion-corrected images.

Strengths

• Data is radiometric calibrated and geometric distortion corrected.
• Covers a specific mission phase from 2010-05-17 to 2010-09-03.
• Targets a specific celestial body, asteroid 21 Lutetia.
• First version (V1.0) of this dataset.

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.
• Data may reflect temporal bias inherent to the specific 2010 fly-by window.
