ROSETTA-ORBITER LUTETIA RPCLAP 2 AST2: Edited Raw Data from Asteroid Flyby

Edited raw data acquired by the Rosetta spacecraft's RPC-LAP instrument during its flyby of asteroid 21 Lutetia. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The data was last updated on March 13, 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze plasma properties around asteroid 21 Lutetia based on RPC-LAP instrument data.
• Study the interaction between the solar wind and an asteroid's surface based on the edited raw measurements.
• Validate or calibrate models of asteroid flyby events based on the acquired raw data.

Strengths

• Data originates from a major space mission (Rosetta) conducted by NASA.
• Data is specifically from a flyby of a named asteroid (21 Lutetia).
• The dataset has been edited, suggesting some level of processing or quality control.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
