1. Introduction
===============

  This data set contains science, calibration and checkout images
  acquired by the OSIRIS camera system on the Rosetta mission.

  
        The images were acquired during the COMET ESCORT 4 mission phase covering the
        period from 2015-10-20T23:25:00.000 to 2015-11-17T23:24:59.000.

  For details please see:

    CATALOG/MISSION.CAT  for a description of the Rosetta mission
    CATALOG/INSTHOST.CAT for a description of the Rosetta spacecraft
    CATALOG/OSIWAC_INST.CAT   for a description of the OSIRIS instrument
    CATALOG/DATASET.CAT  for a detailed description of the dataset
    CATALOG/TARGETS.CAT  for a description of the observed targets

  A detailed description of the instrument can be found in:

    DOCUMENT/OSIRIS_SSR/OSIRIS_SSR_V01.PDF

  An overview description of the calibration can be found in:

    DOCUMENT/CALIB/OSIRIS_CAL_PIPELINE_V01.PDF

  A database of calibration parameters used for image calibration
  can be found in:

    CALIB/*         (See CALINFO.TXT)
    
2. File Formats
===============

  The OSIRIS images are stored as data files with embedded PDS label. The data is stored as:
    a. two dimensional unsigned integer (LSB_UNSIGNED_INTEGER) 16 bit data for the CODMAC level 2 data
    b. two dimensional intel float (PC_REAL) 32 bit data for the CODMAC level 3 to N data

    The data is referenced using a PDS IMAGE object.

    The detailed description of the data file format can be found in:

        DOCUMENT/SIS/OSIRIS_SIS_V01.PDF
        
2.1 Sofware For Reading PDS Images
==================================
FWPDS is a library for accessing (and manipulating) PDS-data, and is provided in
this volume (see below). But it requires IDL 6.1 (or later), and is no longer
officially supported.

The PDS images 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
