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).
This data set includes data obtained by IES during the period
14 December 2009 to 16 May 2010 (referred to as the CR5 cruise
period by ESA for reference although IES operation was not
continuous during this period).
Operation during the periods of April 26 and May 1-2 were for
Instrument checkout opportunities. In particular, during the
May operation different operating modes were tried out.
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 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.

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 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.
