Are there any plans to take RGB images of the comet with OSIRIS? (I'd love to see an overal true-colour image of the comet, before Rosetta starts mapping the surface close-up)
Also, I can't find any information or specifications about the NAVCAM, which has been giving us these amazing images of the comet so far. Is it an unfiltered camera? What is its wavelength sensitivity? -------------------- Curiosity rover panoramas: http://www.facebook.com/CuriosityRoverPanoramas

Are there any plans to take RGB images of the comet with OSIRIS? OSIRIS has lots of "color" filters (for NAC: far uv, near uv, blue, green, orange, hydra, red, ortho, near ir, Fe2O3, IR), see this status update, p.15. So they could. As I understood, they've at least taken a green image (press conference august 6), already, and color images from a distance (status update p.20). Taking color spectra and looking for color variations are science objectives (status update, p.21). |
