With closest approach occuring on the 5 September 2008. Onboard the Rosetta Orbiter (RO) there are two identical NavCams, providing complete redundancy, in the event of Single Point Failure (SPF). Each NavCam unit consits of a Camera Baffle (CAM-BAF), Camera Optical Head (CAM-OH) and a Camera Electronics Unit (CAM-EU) and is capable of providing multiple operating modes to fully satisfy the requirements of the Rosetta mission with respect to the autonomous tracking and attitude determination. ============================================================================== STEINS NavCam Data Archive: ============================================================================== a) S/C Data ========================= CODMAC Level / Type Data Type Data Content 2 / EDITED Data Image RAW TM of HK and IMAGE Data The data can be found in the following directory: */DATA/ The data products are in the form of RAW images each with a detached label file that contains a cropped version of the Housekeeping (HK) - Telemetry (TM) information. b) Supporting Files ========================= Supporting files for the Archive end user include PDS: documentation, descriptions and searchable indices. These are organised into three sub- directories immediately below the root directory: - CATALOG - DOCUMENT - INDEX ============================================================================== Structure of the Volume: ============================================================================== Root Directory | |--- AAREADME.TXT (PDS required introduction to the data set ) | |../BROWSE/ | | | |--- BROWINFO.TXT (List of the BROWSE folder contents) | | | |../CAM1/ | | | | | |--- *.JPG Files (Thumbnail of each data product: JPEG format) | | |--- *.LBL Files (Detached label file for each browse product) | | = | | | |../CAM2/ | | | | = |--- *.JPG Files (Thumbnail of each data product: JPEG format) | |--- *.LBL Files (Detached label file for each browse product) | = | |../CATALOG/ | | | |--- CATINFO.TXT (List of the CATALOG folder contents) | |--- *.CAT Files | = | |../DATA/ | | | |../CAM1/ | | | | | |--- *.IMG Files (Data products in IMAGE format) | | |--- *.LBL Files (Detached label files for each data product) | | = | | | |../CAM2/ | | |--- *.IMG Files (Data products in IMAGE format) | = |--- *.LBL Files (Detached label files for each data product) | = | |../DOCUMENT/ | | | |--- DOCINFO.TXT (List of the DOCUMENT folder contents) | |--- RO-SGS-IF-0001.TXT Files (ASCII version of EAICD) | |--- RO-SGS-IF-0001.PDF Files (PDF version of EAICD) | |--- RO-SGS-IF-0001.LBL Files (EAICD label) | |--- ERRATA.TXT (List of known errors and extra notes on the volume) | |../INDEX | | | |--- INDXINFO.TXT (List of the INDEX folder contents) | |--- INDEX.LBL (Detached label file for INDEX.TAB) | |--- INDEX.TAB (Index of the data set in tabular format) | |--- BROWSE_INDEX.TAB (Index of the browse products) | |--- BROWSE_INDEX.LBL (Detached label for the browse index) | = The ROSETTA project decided that the data would be archived in the PDS Version 3 format and, consequently, the layout of this volume and all associated label files for each file conform to the PDS / PSA guidelines. ============================================================================== Contact Information: ============================================================================== Data generated by: Bernhard Geiger SRE-OS A003 ESAC, P.O.
