Introduction This Data Products volume contains raw data acquired by the MIRO instrument during the second Earth swing-by phase of the Rosetta mission. It was generated by the MIRO TEAM in collaboration with the Small-Bodies Node (SBN) of the Planetary DATA System (PDS) and the European Space Agency (ESA). The Rosetta MIRO instrument is a microwave detector containing both continuum and spectroscopic channels. It should be stressed that the raw data contained in this volume require considerable processing before scientific analysis can begin. 2. Summary of Disk Contents The dataset is organized into a number of directories. Their contents are summarized below. (Names in square brackets, [], are directories.) |--AAREADME.TXT This file | |--ERRATA.TXT Cumulative listing of comments and corrections | |--VOLDESC.CAT Description of the contents of this volume | |--[CATALOG] Mission, instrument, and data set descriptions | |--[DATA] Science and engineering data, organized by type | | | |--[CONTINUUM] Mm and Submm data | | | | | |-- *.DAT Data files | | +-- *.LBL Associated PDS labels | | | |--[ENGINEERING] Engineering H/K data | | | | | |-- *.DAT Data files | | +-- *.LBL Associated PDS labels | | | |--[SPECTROSCOPIC] CTS data | | | | | |-- *.DAT Data files | | +-- *.LBL Associated PDS labels | | | |--[DOCUMENT] Directory containing documentation for these data | | | |-- DOCINFO.TXT Description of files in this directory | | | |-- *.TXT Documents in ASCII text format | |-- *.PDF Documents in Adobe PDF format | +-- *.LBL Associated PDS labels | +--[INDEX] | | | |-- INDXINFO.TXT Description of files in this directory | +-- INDEX.* Table of parameters for data files | +--[LABEL] Structure files pointed to by other labels 3. File formats Most files on this disk have labels encoded in the Object Description language (ODL) developed by PDS. An ODL label is readable by both humans and computers. It provides a formal description of the format and content of a file. For most files the ODL label appears at the beginning of the file (as is the case for this file). The Science data and ancillary file formats are described or referenced in the VOLDESC.CAT file in the top-level directory. PDS label formats and documentation conform to standards as defined by the Planetary Data System Standards Reference (JPL D-7669, Part 2, August 2003, Version 3.6) and the Planetary Science Data Dictionary (JPL D-7116, August 2002, Rev. E). 4. Cognizant Persons The data files were generated by Charles Backus. The format structure files were made by Charles Backus and Lucas Kamp. The EAICD was written by Mike Janssen, Samuel Gulkis and Lucas Kamp. The other ancillary files were made by Lucas Kamp. For information on the instrument and its operation, refer to the PI, Samuel Gulkis, or the co-PI, Margaret Frerking. Further contact details for all these individuals is given in the file PERSONNEL.CAT in the catalog directory .
