DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION 
Data Set Overview :  This dataset contains data generated by MIRO during the Earth Swing-by 2 mission phase of Rosetta. These data cover the following periods and activities:  (All are in 2007, so Year is omitted from dates.)  Start Time Stop Time Activity (mm-ddThh:mm) (mm-ddThh:mm)  09-21T18:01 09-21T22:58 Payload Checkout #6 (IFP linearity test) 11-13T12:10 11-13T18:00 Observation of Moon 11-13T18:00 11-13T23:38 Close observation of Earth (Asteroid mode used) 11-16T07:40 11-16T11:00 Observation of Earth 11-16T11:00 11-16T13:04 Observation of Moon 11-18T07:40 11-18T10:30 Observation of Earth 11-18T10:30 11-18T12:09 Observation of Moon 11-20T07:40 11-20T10:30 Observation of Earth 11-20T10:30 11-20T12:09 Observation of Moon  Author List :  The author list in the CITATION_DESC includes only those persons who worked on preparing this archive dataset for delivery. The full list of all persons involved in the MIRO experiment is (taken from the GULKISETAL2007 reference): S. Gulkis, Frerking, M., Crovisier, J., Beaudin, G., Hartogh, P., Encrenaz, P., Koch, T., Kahn, C., Salinas, Y., Nowicki, R., Irigoyen, R., Janssen, M., Stek, P., Hofstadter, M., Allen, M., Backus, C., Kamp, L., Jarchow, C., Steinmetz, E., Deschamps, A., Krieg, J., Gheudin, M., Bockelee-Morvan, D., Biver, N., Encrenaz, T., Despois, D., Ip, W., Lellouch, E., Mann, I., Muhleman, D., Rauer, H., Schloerb, P., and Spilker, T.  Geometry Information :  The MIRO data file labels contain vectors specifying the position of the Sun and Target body relative to the spacecraft and the velocity of the Target body relative to the spacecraft. The values of the keywords SC_SUN_POSITION_VECTOR, SC_TARGET_POSITION_VECTOR and SC_TARGET_VELOCITY_VECTOR are related to the ECLIPJ2000 reference frame. The values of SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE and SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE are northern latitude and eastern longitude in the standard planetocentric IAU  frame. All values are computed for the the midpoint of the observations. Distances are given in , velocities in , angles in .  This information was obtained using the following NAIF/SPICE kernel files:  ORHR_______________00061.BSP de405s.bsp  The vectors were retrieved using the NAIF call SPKEZ() with a correction for one-way light time and stellar aberration using a Newtonian formulation.
