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:

                                    unresolved, in order to determine

    Operations on 2009-11-13 (DOY 317):
    The sequences dedicated to MIRO were (1) an Earth stare offset
    from nadir by about 11 degrees (to keep solar elongation < 140
    deg.), from 07:20 to 08:20 (MR02), and (2) a dwell on the Moon's
    limb near the North Pole, from 17:20 to 18:20 (MR03), in order to
    search for H2O.  However, outside these sequences, the MIRO
    instrument remained on during several maneuvers riding along with
    other instruments, gathering data, which are included in the files
    in the DATA subdirectory.
 
  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.,

  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_______________00089.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.

These data were not processed in any way
    other than being decommutated from the raw telemetry stream, so no
    processing errors are expected.  For a discussion of the
    reliability of the MIRO instrument itself, see the documentation
    included with this and subsequent mission archives.
