Data Set Overview : The following describes the nature of instrument operation during the various periods for which IES data are available in this submission. In all cases the data are raw electron and ion counts as function of energy, azimuth (direction in the instrument symmetry plane) and elevation (angle above or below the symmetry plane).

RPC data are retrieved from the Data Distribution System (DDS) at European Space Operations Centre (ESOC) to a central RPC data server at Imperial College London. Data for IES is copied from the RPC central data server by IESGS at Southwest Research Institute. The pipeline processing software is the IES Ground System (IESGS). IESGS extracts IES CCSDS packets from the RPC collective data files stored on the RPC central data server at Imperial College. These packets are used to build ion and electron data products. The data products are grouped by date and written out to PDS compliant archive data files. One data file is created for each day. IESGS also generates the labels for the archive data files. IES science products, archive and label files, and limited spectrograms are available to team scientists on the IESGS website. Coordinate System : In order to determine IES pointing, attitude data for the Rosetta spacecraft is obtained through SPICE kernels and converted from the J2000 coordinate system to the HGRTN coordinate system. HGRTN is the heliocentric RTN system such that the sun-spacecraft vector defines the positive x-axis and the positive y-axis is the cross-product of the heliographic polar axis and the HGRTN positive x-axis. J2000 is the inertial frame defined by the intersection of the Earth mean equator and the ecliptic plane at the J2000 epoch of January 1, 2000 at noon. The pointing for each bin of IES is thereafter determined by multiplying the converted spacecraft attitude matrix in HGRTN by the vector representation of each particle measurement bin. The resulting vectors represent the flow of particles through the respective particle measurement bins in HGRTN coordinates. SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE, SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE are given in the Cheops reference frame. These parameters are computed at time t:START_TIME. Distances are given in km, angles in degrees.

Confidence Level Overview : This dataset is used by the IES science team after processing. This is done to ensure that the archived data contains good, valid products. Review : This archival data set was examined by the IES science team prior to submission to the Planetary Data System (PDS) and was then reviewed by PDS and the Rosetta data archive working group. The current set is a resubmission after correcting or responding to the various RIDs resulting from that review. Limitations : None.
