  =================                                                           
                                                                              
      This CODMAC level 3 data set contains Housekeeping Engineering data     
      provided in ASCII table form (.TAB) or in Binary form (.DAT) that       
      has been extracted from the Rosetta MUST system covering the full       
      mission duration from 2004-06-14T21:30:39.382 to 2016-09-30T10:39:21.600
      It contains data from the two navigation cameras on the spacecraft.     
                                                                              
      In particular, it provides information on operating modes of the        
      prime and backup cameras. The NAVCAM images are provided in a different 
      science dataset in the PSA & PDS to the HK.                             
                                                                              
      The data is located under the DATA directory in sudirectories linked to 
      the specific data type that it contains. The following shows the        
      directory structure including the list of subdirectories :

CITATION_DESCRIPTION O'Rourke, L., Heather, D., Andres, R., ROSETTA SPACECRAFT NAVIGATION CAMERA ENGINEERING DATA, RO-X-HK-3-NAVCAM-V1.0 ESA Planetary Science Archive and NASA Planetary Data System, 2019
ABSTRACT_TEXT This CODMAC level 3 data set contains the key parameters of the two Navigation Cameras. In particular, it provides information on operating modes of the prime and backup cameras. The NAVCAM images are provided in a different science dataset to the HK. The Navigation cameras were used continuously during the comet phase but on an irregular basis during the cruise e.g. asteroid flyby. Similarly they were turned on much later than other instruments and subsystems on board after launch. It covers the period from launch in 2004, through the 3 Earth and 1 Mars flyby, plus the hibernation phases, plus the asteroid flybys and finally covers the Prelanding, comet escort & Extension phases of the prime target of the mission. The prime target is comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko 1 (1969 R1). This version V1.0 is the first version of this dataset.
