Radiometric Calibration of the Rosetta Navigation Camera

Statella, Thiago; Andrés, Rafael; Geiger, Bernhard

The Navigation Camera (NavCam) on board the Rosetta spacecraft was essential for optical navigation in the vicinity of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Images acquired throughout the mission are also of high scientific interest. In order to extend the range of potential applications, we generated datasets of radiometrically calibrated images. …

GIADA (Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator) on-board the Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko was designed to study the physical and dynamical properties of dust particles ejected by the comet during the encounter. In this paper we report the results of the analysis of data collected by GIADA during the past seven years of the…
