DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
:Data Set history::First version:Data Set Overview::The data from the Rosetta Navigation Camera (NavCam) were calibrated byBernhard Geiger; the processing pipeline was implemented by Rafael Andres;the data set was constructed and submitted by Diego Fraga Agudo on behalfof the Planetary Science Archives (PSA).The data were acquired between 2015-03-10 and 2015-04-08. The frequency ofnavigation slots was one 2x2 raster every five hours, with interruption bymanoeuvres. This resulted in 512 navigation images. In addition, 53 contextand 2 calibration images were taken, which gives a total of 567 images.After a spacecraft safe mode at 2015-03-29T12:15 a series of 7 planned rasterswith 28 images were not executed. For a raster of 4 navigation images acquiredafter 2015-03-29T05:40 there were rows lost due to large antenna off-pointingcaused by star tracker problems and gyro drift.5 planned context images at the beginning of the MTP were not acquired due tolate interface file submission. For the same reason 4 additional ones weretaken with wrong parameters. 74 scheduled context images were not executedafter the safe mode until the end of the MTP.The spacecraft performed far fly-by arcs with distances between 70 km and100km. These were followed by a close fly-by with a distance of 15km from thecomet centre and 40 degrees phase angle on March 28th at 13:00. The spacecraftwent to safe mode on March 29th due to severe star tracker issues. Theoutbound trajectory reached a distance of 400km and by the end of the periodthe spacecraft went back to 140km.All images in this data set are radiometrically calibrated data taken usingthe imaging mode. The data set contains images using NavCam CAM1onboard the Rosetta S/C. NavCam instrument contains a second identical cameracalled CAM2 but this was used mainly as a backup and the few images taken withit 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 theobservation in the EXTRAS/CAM1 directory.:Filename Convention::In DATA:The filenaming convention for all data levels is given by: __. ROS CAM1 YYYYMMDDThhmmss C IMG CAM2 Q LBLWhere X can be C, Q or be absent. It is present for level 3 data (C for imageand label file, Q for quality map). It is absent for level 2 products.Examples: ROS_CAM1_20160308T154502C.IMG ROS_CAM1_20160308T154502Q.IMG ROS_CAM1_20160308T154502C.LBLIn BROWSE:The filenaming convention for all data levels is given by: __C.

(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).:
