DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION 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). March 4 & 5, 2005. This data set was obtained during the first Earth swingby. During the March 4 portion Rosetta was traveling up the magnetotail, and crossed into Earth's radiation belts. That day happened to be a day of very quiet solar wind and hence the tail plasma density was very low. Just prior to crossing into the radiation belts IES was turned off for safety reasons and was turned back on after emerging. Rosetta then passed through the magnetosheath and bow shock into the solar wind. The spacecraft was performing some turning maneuvers for some time so the solar wind was not observed by IES until later. March 29, 2005. This data set was obtained during PC0, the first passive checkout. Approximately 5 hours of data were obtained in the solar wind. This was apparently a period of very low alpha particle density, they being barely discernable in the data. Parameters : N/A Processing : All Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC) data packets are transmitted together during downlinks with Rosetta. 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 mode used in 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.

ARCHIVE_STATUS ARCHIVED
CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE 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 its acceptance by the Planetary Data System (PDS). It will later be subject to a reviews by PDS and the Rosetta data archive working group. Data Coverage and Quality : N/A Limitations : None.
