Abstract This dataset contains ROSETTA NAVCAM RADIOMETRICALLY CALIBRATED DATA of the COMET ESCORT 3 MTP018 Phase from 01 Jul. 2015, 04:38:43 to 28 Jul. 2015, 23:02:19 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 2015-06-30 and 2015-07-28. The frequency of navigation slots was one image every five hours, with interruption by manoeuvres. This resulted in 128 navigation images. In addition, 159 context and 33 calibration images were taken, which gives a total of 320 images. Three planned navigation and three context images were not acquired due to the recovery of anomalies. One navigation image was skipped because of a star tracker CCD read-out. For three context images, rows were lost due to ground station problems. The spacecraft performed far fly-by arcs at distances between 150km and 200km in the terminator plane and at positive latitudes of the sub-satellite point. 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 can be found in the DATA/CAM1 directory. For each image, the user can also find the FITS format of the observation in the EXTRAS/CAM1 directory. Filename Convention: ...

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 ...
