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:Contents:A. Operations overviewB. Data set statusC. Scientific useD. CaveatsA. Operations overview----------------------LAP operations are described in the operations report,IRFU-ROS-OPR-CR4A in the DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory of thisdata set.B. Data set status------------------This data set contains scientifically useful data from the RosettaRPC-LAP instrument. The data contained are primary instrument data,calibrated to physical units (volts and amperes) and with instrumentaloffsets removed. See the caveats in Section D below for data use.C. Scientific use-----------------The data can be used for scientific analysis, but this requires somefamiliarity with this type of data.For information on exact data products (science data, geometry files,housekeeping), calibration, file formats and file naming conventions,etc., consult the EAICD, RO-IRFU-LAP-EAICD, in the DOCUMENTdirectory. For the specifics of this mission phase, seethe operations report, IRFU-ROS-OPR-CR4A inthe DOCUMENT/FLIGHT_REPORTS directory.D. Caveats----------This section covers caveats relevant for this specific data set. Forgeneral caveats, see the EAICD in the DOCUMENT directory.D.1. General caveat-------------------The archived data set is complete, but it has not been possible toscan every part of it for every possible problem before delivery, sothere may be numerous data quality issues in addition to this list.While the data clearly have a great science potential, analysis has tobe done with great care. Anybody using the present data set is stronglyencouraged to contact a LAP CoI for cooperation.
