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 2014-09-23 and 2014-10-24. The frequency ofnavigation slots was one 2x2 raster every four hours, with interruption bymanoeuvres, which resulted in 740 navigation images. One originally plannedraster was replaced by an additional manoeuvre (GMP slot 2.5 at2014-10-01T11:30:00). In addition, 137 context images were taken, which givesa total of 877 images.For 2 navigation and 2 context images on October 18th, rows were lost due tobad weather at the ground station. 15 additional context images have lost rowsdue to an anomaly in the transfer to the spacecraft memory (which onlyoccurred for context images).The comet distance ranged from 28km to 10km.The trajectory consisted of: one bound night-side arc inclined by 30 degreeswith respect to the terminator plane and descending from a distance of roughly28km to 18km -- circular orbits at about 18km -- elliptical orbit 20kmx10km --circular orbits at about 10km.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).:
