DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION :Data Set Overview::The data from the Rosetta Navigation Camera (NavCam) was extracted byBernhard Geiger; the data set was constructed and submitted by MaudBarthelemy on behalf of the Planetary Science Archives (PSA).The data have been observed and measured from 15th Dec 2015 to 12 Jan2016. The frequency of the navigation slots was of one imageevery five hours, with interruption by manoeuvres. One slot wasskipped for Osiris monitoring during Lander Fly-Wheel activationattempt. 131 navigation images were taken. In addition 308 contextimages and 13 Calibration images were taken, which makes a total of452 images.There is no lost or incomplete navigation images.There is no lost or incomplete context images.The orbiter was executing far fly-by arcs with distance ranging from120km to 75km in the terminator plane.All images in this data set are raw and uncalibrated data taken usingthe imaging mode. The data set contains images resolved using bothNavCams onboard the Rosetta S/C and the DATA directory is organisedto reflect this with two sub directories: - CAM1 - CAM2CAM2 directory is only present if CAM2 observations are done.After hibernation exit CAM2 was only switched on to confirm its healthstatus in a check-out. During the comet escort phase CAM2 will only beused in the case of a failure of the nominal camera CAM1.For each image, the user can also find the FITS format of theobservation in the EXTRAS directory.:Filename Convention::In DATA:The filenaming convention for all data levels is given by: __.

(Note that also for checkout and stellar calibration images the comet nucleus distance is given here.)- SUB SPACECRAFT LATITUDE and SUB SPACECRAFT LONGITUDE: The latitudeand longitude of the sub-spacecraft point derived from the FlightDynamics body-fixed reference frame implicitly specified by theinformation provided in the comet attitude file CATT.- RIGHT ASCENSION and DECLINATION: Right Ascension and Declination ofthe camera boresight direction in equatorial J2000 inertial frame.- CELESTIAL NORTH CLOCK ANGLE: The direction of celestial north at the center of the image - measured from the upward direction, clockwise to the direction toward celestial north.- SOLAR ELONGATION: The angle between the line of sight of observation and the direction of the Sun.All geometric values are calculated for the time t : IMAGE TIME(and not START TIME).:
