PDS Information
Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION 
Data Set Overview :The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Ion CompositionAnalyser (ICA) was submitted by Hans Nilsson for the RPCICA team.The data set contains data of mass resolved positively charged ionsin the energy range 10 eV to 40 keV. The raw data is separated intomass channels or mass channel ranges, not actual ion mass. For mostcircumstances, significant counts are seen only for certaindirections, mass channels and energy levels. The data is thus sparsewith many zeros. The unit is COUNTS.This data set contains undisturbed solar wind data from the cruise phase.Changes form version 1 to 2: The order of the energy levels is nowfrom low to high, as this is more intuitive. The definition of thequality flag has changed and now provides information about noiselevels and possibly unstable energy scale which may affect lowenergy measurements.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE 
An automatic screening removing most corrupt data has been used.Some faulty data may remain, this is usually obvious from the look ofthe data. Cross-talk affects some directional and mass resolution.A quality flag also indicates data with potential problems concerning noiselevels and stability of the energy scale.
CITATION_DESCRIPTION Nilsson, H., ROSETTA-ORBITER 67P RPCICA 2 EAR2 UNCALIBRATED V2.0, RO-E-RPCICA-2-EAR2-RAW-V2.0, ESA Planetary Science Archive and NASA Planetary Data System, 2017.
ABSTRACT_TEXT This dataset contains RAW DATA from the RPCICA instrument onmission ROSETTA during the second Earth swingby. RPC-ICA was on, but did notobtain any useful measurements.Data set version 2 replaces a previously delivered data set.Important changes are the ordering of the energy levels which nowgo from low to high and that the quality flag in the labels isupdated.
