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 2015-09-22 and 2015-10-20. The frequency of
navigation slots was one image every five hours, with interruption by
manoeuvres and skipping two slots per week. This resulted in 124 navigation
images. In addition, 253 context and 12 calibration images were taken, which
gives a total of 389 images.
For one context image, rows were lost due to bad weather at the ground
station.
At the start of the period, the spacecraft was in the terminator plane at
330km distance. It then performed an excursion to 1500km at a minimum phase
angle of 50 degrees. At the end of the MTP, the spacecraft had returned to
420km distance and 65 degrees phase angle.
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:
======================================================================
In DATA:
The filenaming convention for all data levels is given by:
__.
ROS CAM1 YYYYMMDDThhmmss C IMG
CAM2 Q LBL
Where X can be C, Q or be absent. It is present for level 3 data (C for image
and label file, Q for quality map). It is absent for level 2 products.

In BROWSE:
The filenaming convention for all data levels is given by:

ROS_CAM1_20160308T154502C.LBL
In EXTRAS:
The filenaming convention for all data levels is given by:
__CF.
ROS CAM1 YYYYMMDDThhmmss FIT
CAM2 LBL
Where C indicates it is a calibrated image file and F indicates it is in FITS
format.

Geometry Information - Coordinate System:
======================================================================
The label files include the following geometric variables:
- SC SUN POSITION VECTOR: The vector from the spacecraft to the Sun
in equatorial J2000 inertial frame.
- SC TARGET POSITION VECTOR: The vector from the spacecraft to the
centre of the comet nucleus in equatorial J2000 inertial frame.
- SC TARGET VELOCITY VECTOR: The spacecraft to comet nucleus velocity
vector in in equatorial J2000 inertial frame.
- TARGET CENTER DISTANCE: The distance between the spacecraft and the
comet nucleus centre. (Note that also for checkout and stellar
calibration images the comet nucleus distance is given here.)
- SUB SPACECRAFT LATITUDE and SUB SPACECRAFT LONGITUDE: The latitude
and longitude of the sub-spacecraft point derived from the Flight
Dynamics body-fixed reference frame implicitly specified by the
information provided in the comet attitude file CATT.
- RIGHT ASCENSION and DECLINATION: Right Ascension and Declination of
the 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).
