Introduction =============== This dataset contains key selected housekeeping parameters from the Rosetta spacecraft subsystems as specified in the DATASET.CAT. The data presented in this data set covers the entire Rosetta mission from March 2014 through to September 2016. NOTE: - The BROWSE data provided are overview plots of selected parameters from the DATA directory with a coverage of either one month or one quarter, so these do not have a direct one to one correspondence to each DATA product. - The data are extracted from the so-called MUST system, and all data are calibrated internally by the spacecraft/MUST system prior to extraction. No raw data equivalents are available, and no calibration files or documentation can be provided for these data products, although the CODMAC processing level is formally '3' for calibrated data. For further details please see: CATALOG/MISSION.CAT for a description of the Rosetta mission. CATALOG/INSTHOST.CAT for a description of the Rosetta spacecraft. CATALOG/INST_ROS_HK.CAT for an instrument level description of the Rosetta Orbiter Housekeeping. CATALOG/DATASET.CAT for a detailed description of the dataset. CATALOG/PERS_HK.CAT for a list of key personnel. CATALOG/REF.CAT for a list of key references for the Rosetta data sets. A detailed description of the data sets and their usage can be found in: DOCUMENT/EAICD_HK.PDF and DOCUMENT/USER_GUIDE.PDF 2. File Formats =============== The Rosetta Housekeeping data files are all stored as ASCII tables (with the extension TAB). In cases where the ASCII data were generated from binary files, the original binary data equivalent (with the extension DAT) is available in the EXTRAS directory. All files have an associated detached PDS label file (with the extension LBL) containing key metadata required to read and interpret the corresponding data. A more detailed description of the data files can be found in: DOCUMENT/EAICD_HK.PDF and DOCUMENT/USER_GUIDE.PDF 2.1 Sofware For Reading Files ============================= There is no additional software provided with these Rosetta Housekeeping data. All of the PDS data contained in this volume can be read by any PDS-compliant software, for example, NASAView: https://pds.nasa.gov/tools/nasa-view.shtml 3. Volume Contents ================== Files on this volume are organized into a set of subdirectories below the top-level directory. The following table shows the structure and content of these directories. In the table, directory names are enclosed in square brackets ([]).
