Archive Note
============
This data set, RO-SS-RPCMAG-2-PRL-RAW-V5.0, was in lien resolution and
abandoned with the liens left unresolved. The next version of this data set,
RO-SS-RPCMAG-2-PRL-RAW-V6.0, has all liens from the prior version V5.0
resolved.
Data Set Overview
=================
The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Fluxgate
Magnetometer(MAG)was submitted by Ingo Richter (TM) for the RPCMAG
team. The PI of the team is Karl-Heinz Glassmeier.
The data have been measured during the PRELANDING Phase of ROSETTA.
Included are the following sub-phases:
-the Rendezvous Manoeuvre 2 (RVM2) between January and September 2014
-the Post Hibernation Commissioning in March/April 2014
-the Near Comet Drift Phase (NCD) between March and July 2014
-the Far Approach Trajectory (FAT)between July and August 2014
-the Comet Characterization Phase (CC) between August and September
-the Global Mapping Phase/Close Observation Phase (GMP/COP) between
September and October 2014
-the Landing and First Science Sequence (LD/FSS) between October and
November 2014
The several Landings of PHILAE happened on November 12, 2014.
All magnetic field data are edited raw data. That means the data
represent the 3 components of the magnetic field measured in counts of
the used 20 bit ADC. Data are given in instrument coordinates. Neither
any filtering nor any calibration has been applied to the data. Any
s/c generated noise and s/c caused residual magnetic fields are not
eliminated.
The data are sorted by the sensor (OB: outboard sensor, IB: inboard
sensor)and the measurement mode (M1..M6). They can uniquely be
identified by their file names.
Normally the OB is the Primary (Pri) and the IB is the Secondary (Sec)
sensor. However, this order can be toggled by TCs. This feature has
been tested especially during the commissioning phases.
In cases were the PRIMARY and SECONDARY sensor were toggled the
individual data files (OB/IB) will contain data measured with
different sampling rates according to the actual sampling rates of
the PRIMARY and SECONDARY sensors. Refer to the MODE DESCRIPTION
table below. The actual sampling rate is the only indicator
showing which sensor is the primary and which is the secondary
one.
REMARK:
=======
Due to strong magnetic disturbance by the ORBITER and by the LANDER
Philae, the magnetic field data are influenced by s/c generated
magnetic fields. The source of these disturbance is manifold:
- transient currents flowing on the spacecraft
- Heater pulses
- Thruster related magnetic field
- Reaction wheel signatures
- etc.
Due to the complexity of these circumstances a proper data
cleaning is an ongoing task. Thus the data of the present dataset
still contain the mentioned disturbance signatures.
Therefore, any use of the data for scientific research has to be
done under consideration of these disturbances.

FILENAME CONVENTION & Mode Coding
===================================
Due to operational constraints it might happen that the instrument
mode or the primary sensor has to be switched during a specific
observation.
The actual mode and the primary sensor of the instrument can easily
be identified by analyzing the filename of the actual data files. The
complete filename convention is listed in the EAICD, chapter 3.1.4.
The filenames for EDITED and CALIBRATED data are coded as follows:
___.
RPCMAG yymmddThhmm RAW IB M1..M6 LBL
CLA OB TAB
CLB
CLC
Example: RPCMAG040528T1230_RAW_OB_M3.LBL
RPCMAG040528T1230_RAW_OB_M3.TAB
The filenames for Housekeeping data are coded as follows:
_.
RPCMAG yymmddThhmm HK LBL
TAB
Example: RPCMAG040528T1230_HK.LBL
RPCMAG040528T1230_HK.TAB
Geometry Information - Coordinate System
========================================
The geometry items
SC_SUN_POSITION_VECTOR
SC_TARGET_POSITION_VECTOR
SC_TARGET_VELOCITY_VECTOR
provided in the label of the data product are relative to the
ECLIPJ2000 frame. This reference frame is built up by Ecliptic
Coordinates related to Equinox of Epoch J2000.
Orientation:
X: Pointing from SUN to Vernal Equinoxe,
Y: perpendicular to X in Ecliptic Plane,
Z: Perpendicular to Ecliptic plane, pointing up
The items
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE
SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE
are given in the PLANETOCENTRIC coordinate system.
All these geometry parameters are computed at time t=START_TIME.
Distances are given in km, angles in degrees.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE |
This data set has the same structure as the
former RPCMAG datasets obtained between 2004
and 2011.
Those datasets have been reviewed by two
independent teams in Spring 2012. After these
reviews the datasets had been accepted by the
Planetary Science Archive(PSA)of the ESA and
by the Planetary Data System(PDS) of NASA for
long-term archiving. The data have been
processed on best effort basis according to
the procedures described in RO-IGEP-TR0028:
Step by Step Calibration Procedure. Quality
flags are attached for CALIBRATED and
RESAMPLED data as described in the EAICD
RO-IGEP-TR0009. Both of these are available
in the DOCUMENT directory.
