ROSETTA CONSERT: Ground Calibration Data for Orbiter and Lander Instruments

Calibrated ground measurements from the CONSERT instrument used on the Rosetta mission. The data includes technical and calibration tests performed in a synchronized 'Ping-Pong' mode between orbiter and lander models. It conforms to Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards Version 3.6 and was updated by NASA in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Validate instrument calibration procedures based on described ground tests
• Analyze synchronization performance between orbiter and lander units based on the Ping-Pong mode operation
• Assess data quality and corrections for radar ranging parameters based on the listed updates to the dataset

Strengths

• Data conforms to Planetary Data System (PDS) Standards, Version 3.6
• Dataset version V1.1 includes corrections on data and label files as specified in the description

Limitations

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