The magnetometer consists of two sensors, the OB and the IB sensor, mounted
on a spacecraft boom. The instrument provides the 3 component magnetic field
vector data measured by both sensors. In this data set edited raw data can be
found. Magnetic field data are given in ADCcounts.


REMARK:
 Due to strong magnetic disturbance by the ORBITER,
 the magnetic field data are influenced by s/c generated
 magnetic fields. The source of these disturbance is manifold:
  - transient currents flowing on the spacecraft
  - Heater pulses
  - Thruster related magnetic field
  - Reaction wheel signatures
  - etc.

  Due to the complexity of these circumstances a proper data
  cleaning is an ongoing task. Thus  the data of the present dataset
  still contain the mentioned disturbance signatures.

  Therefore, any use of the data for scientific research has to be
  done under consideration of these disturbances.



COMET ESCORT 3 RPC-MAG Data Archive
=========================


a) S/C DATA
===========

CODMAC Level/Type               Data Type      Data Content

          2 / EDITED RAW Data   table          RAW TS of OB,IB,HK data


The data can be found in the

./DATA/EDITED/2015/JUL
./DATA/EDITED/2015/AUG
./DATA/EDITED/2015/SEP
./DATA/EDITED/2015/OCT


directory. This directory has three subdirectories for HK,IB, and OB data.


b) Supporting files
======================

Supporting files for the Archive user include PDS descriptions,
documents, and searchable indices. These have been organized into
three directories one level below the root: 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)
           *.PDF        (PDF documents)

./INDEX/INDXINFO.TXT    (Description of the contents of the index
                         directory)
        INDEX.LBL       (PDS LABEL file for INDEX.TAB)
        INDEX.TAB       (Index of the data set in tabular format)

./DATA/EDITED/*.TAB     (MAG data, 3 components presented as ASCII tables)
              *.LBL     (PDS LABELS of the MAG data files)

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.
