Overview:
=========
This data set contains calibrated data obtained by the Fluxgate
Magnetometer (RPC-MAG) onboard the ROSETTA spacecraft for the MARS Flyby
(MSB) Phase. The covered data period is August 29, 2006 until
May 22, 2007. On August 29 the Passive Checkout PC3 was executed. In
November and December 2006 the Passive Checkout PC4 took place. The very
Mars Flyby happened between February 23 and February 27, 2007 with the
Closest Approach on February 25, 2007 at 01:58 UTC. On May 22 the Passive
Checkout PC5 was executed.
The magnetometer consists of two sensors, the OB and the IB sensor, mounted on
a spacecraft boom. The instrument provides 3 component magnetic field vector
data measured by both sensors. In this data set CALIBRATED data in nanotesla
can be found. Additionally to the magnetic field data, HK data like
sensor temperatures, voltages, and filter stages are supplied in calibrated
format.

===========
CODMAC Level/Type Data Type Data Content
3 / CALIBRATED Data table RAW TS of OB,IB,HK data
The data can be found in the
DATA\CALIBRATED\2006\AUG
DATA\CALIBRATED\2006\NOV

directories. These directories have three subdirectories:
LEVEL_A
LEVEL_B
LEVEL_C
The LEVEL_A data (HK,IB,OB) are calibrated data in Instrument coordinates.
The LEVEL_B data (IB,OB) are calibrated data in S/C coordinates.
The LEVEL_C data (IB,OB) are calibrated data in ECLIPJ2000 coordinates.
b) Supporting files
===================
Supporting files for the Archive user include PDS descriptions, documents,
and searchable indices. These have been organized into four directories one
level below the root: CATALOG, DOCUMENT,CALIB, INDEX

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 the PDS/PSA guidelines.
