DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
:Data Set history::This data set is version V1.1. The changes from the V1.0 are listedbelow: - Full size BROWSE images - FITS versions added in EXTRAS directory - label content consistent with comet phase datasets - target names and types revised, mainly for 'CALIBRATION' of V1.0 - ERRATA of V1.0 addressed and removed (image orientation and geometry keywords). - updated EAICD version - GEO_NAVCAM*_INDEX and NAVCAM*_INDEX added into the INDEX directory.: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 Aug 1st 2014 to Sept 2nd2014. From Aug 1st to Aug 22nd, the frequency of the navigation slotswas of once per hour (484 images). Then, until Sep 2nd, one 2x2 rasterwith four images was taken every four hours (4*66:264 images).There was no lost neither incomplete navigation image. But from2014-08-04T23:07:18.848 to 2014-08-05T09:52:18.938, the navigationimages are without nucleus in the field-of-view due to a relativelylarge trajectory deviation and hence comet pointing errors.Also, there are 11 context images with lost rows (anomaly in thetransfer to the spacecraft memory only occurring for context images).Distances are from 832km to 51.7km.The trajectory consisted of comet approach and pyramid arcs of thecharacterisation phase.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: __.

ABSTRACT_TEXT This dataset contains ROSETTA NAVCAM RAW DATA of the Prelanding Phase from 1st Aug 2014 to 2nd Sep 2014 before reaching target 67P/CG. This data set V1.1 supersedes the V1.0. It includes updates of the Browse images, adding of the FITS version, clarification of calibration target, document updates and resolve other minor outstanding errata.
