Abstract This dataset contains ROSETTA NAVCAM RADIOMETRICALLY CALIBRATED DATA of the COMET ESCORT 2 MTP015 Phase from 08 Apr. 2015, 12:58:02 to 05 May. 2015, 23:07:19 when at the vicinity of target 67P/CG.
Description Data Set history: First version Data Set Overview: The data from the Rosetta Navigation Camera (NavCam) were calibrated by Bernhard Geiger; the processing pipeline was implemented by Rafael Andres; the data set was constructed and submitted by Diego Fraga Agudo on behalf of the Planetary Science Archives (PSA). The data were acquired between 2015-04-08 and 2015-05-05. The frequency of navigation slots was one 2x2 raster every five hours, with interruption by manoeuvres. From 15th April 2015 one single navigation image was taken every five hours. This resulted in 222 navigation images. In addition, 241 context and 4 calibration images were acquired, which gives a total of 467 images. One navigation image was not acquired or lost. One planned context image was removed due to a conflict with star tracker issue investigations. There were many highly overexposed context images due to a reversion of the pointing plan after the intended trajectory could not be flown. The spacecraft performed a transition from terminator plane to a pyramid arc scheme with phase angles between 60 and 80 degrees. This was followed by fly-by arcs with closest approach distances descending from 135km to 90 km and then rising to 125km. The maximum distances of the arcs reached 165km to 180km. All images in this data set are radiometrically calibrated data taken using the imaging mode. The data set contains images using NavCam CAM1 onboard the Rosetta S/C. NavCam instrument contains a second identical camera called CAM2 but this was used mainly as a backup and the few images taken with it have not been calibrated and are not included in the Level 3 datasets. The images...

The spacecraft carries a Rosetta Lander, named Philae, to the nucleus and deploys it onto its surface. A brief description of the mission and its objectives can be found in [GLASSMEIERETAL2007A]. A detailed description of the mission analysis can be found in the ROSETTA User Manual [RO-DSS-MA-1001], and the flight Operations Plan [RO-ESC-PL-5000]. On its long way to the comet nucleus after a Launch by Ariane 5 P1+ in March 2004, the ROSETTA spacecraft orbited the Sun ...
