DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
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 2014-08-01 and 2014-09-02. Until August 22nd,the frequency of the navigation slots was once per hour (484 images).Afterwards, one 2x2 raster with four images was taken every four hours(4*66:264 images). In addition, 111 context images were acquired, which givesa total of 859 images.From 2014-08-04T23:07:18.848 to 2014-08-05T09:52:18.938, the navigation imagesdid not include the nucleus in the field-of-view due to a relatively largetrajectory deviation and hence comet pointing errors. For 11 context images,there were lost rows due to an anomaly in the transfer to the spacecraftmemory, which only affected context images.The comet distance ranged from 832km to 51.7km. After comet approach, thetrajectory consisted of pyramid arcs in the characterisation phase.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).:
