The target of this phase was comet 67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO 1 (1969 R1). Caveat about using IES Level 3 Differential Energy Flux data: The background subtraction technique used in the production of the Level 3 Differential Energy Flux data does not work well for certain modes and as a result, the flux values may be slightly different from nominal. Please contact the IES team before using the data. Once the background subtraction issue is resolved, the IES team will deliver updated data. PRL RPC-IES Data Archive ========================= a) S/C DATA =========== CODMAC Level/Type Data Type Data Content 3 / CALIBRATED Data table Ion & electron flux The data can be found in the DATA directory. b) Supporting files =================== Supporting files for the Archive user include PDS descriptions, documents, and searchable indices. These have been organized into directories one level below the root including: CATALOG, DOCUMENT, INDEX Structure of the volume ======================= AAREADME.TXT (PDS required introduction to the data set) VOLDESC.CAT (PDS required volume description of the data only) ../CATALOG/CATINFO.TXT (list of catalog files) *.CAT (Mission, spacecraft, instrument, data, references) ../DOCUMENT/DOCINFO.TXT (list of documents) */*.ASC (ASCII text documents) */*.TXT (ASCII text documents) */*.PDF (PDF documents) ../INDEX/INDXINFO.TXT (Description of the index directory contents) INDEX.LBL (PDS LABEL file for INDEX.TAB) INDEX.TAB (Index of the data set in tabular format) ../DATA/*.TAB (IES data, presented as ASCII table) *.LBL (PDS LABELS of the IES data files) ../CALIB/CALIBINFO.TXT (list of calibration files) *.TAB (tables used for calibration) *.LBL (PDS labels of the calibration tables) The ROSETTA project decided that the data would be archived in the PDS format. Consequently, the layout of this volume and the labels for each file conform to the PDS /PSA guidelines.
