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 5th Apr 2016 to 3rdMay 2016. The frequency of the navigation slots was of one 2x2 rasterevery five hours, with interruption by manoeuvres. One raster withfour images was acquired with CAM2 in order to check its healthstatus. 528 navigation images were taken. In addition 280 contextimages and 4 calibration ones were taken, which makes a totalof 813 images.Three planned context images were not acquired due to ground stationissue.There is one navigation image with lost rows due also to groundstation issue.The orbiter was executing far fly-by arcs starting at 200km in theterminator plane and descending to 80km at 80degrees phase angle.Then, it executed a close fly-by through zero degree phase angle adnat 30km minimum distance. The outbound trajectory arc was captured at140km. The orbiter approached the comet at 70km at terminator plane.The insertion into bound orbits was done by a night side arc with amaximum phase angle of 120 degrees that reduced the distance to 19km.The bound orbits at the end of MTP028 was at 19km distance.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: __.
