The PDS announced a few days ago the first release of ALICE data from Rosetta.
QUOTE COMMISSIONING 1 (includes C/2002 T7 (LINEAR)) I don't know if there's anything in here worth messing around with, but it seems worth a look...CRUISE 1 CHECKOUT COMMISSIONING 2 EARTH SWING-BY 1 CRUISE 2 (includes 9P/Tempel 1) MARS SWING-BY (includes Jupiter and the Io plasma torus) To see and download the data as well as mission and instrument information, go to: http://pdssbn.astro.umd.edu/missions/rosetta/index.html --Emily -------------------- |

Waddayaknow - Alan and his team deliver the goodies nice and early. Meanwhile the European lot drag their feet.
 Not sure how 'suitable for public consumption' Alice data is, but I'll certainly have a look at some point  Doug |

Is there some other data for us to look at?
No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time. |

I was hunting around today for basic information on the specs of the Rosetta navigation camera and came up pretty much empty except for the caption of the Earth flyby pictures, which state that an image of 820 by 820 pixels corresponds to a FOV of 4 degrees. Can anyone point me to a link with any more official information on detector size or FOV or angular resolution or any of that stuff?

The field of view is about 5 degrees, pixel scale 0.005 degree/pixel (18 arcsec/pixel), no filters.
Sorry, I don't know of any website or publication I could point you to. |

All credit to the RPC-IES team for delivering to the PDS - what we really want is Osiris and CIVA though

It is worth noting that over the weekend Hubble studied Lutetia with WFPC/2 and SBC to characterize it in UV. It also did visible band imaging which included a detailed satellite search. I look forward to seeing the results of this - wow, a moonlet would be cool.

Today on arXiv Spitzer Observations of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko at 5.5-4.3 AU From the Sun note that Spitzer has also made observations of EPOXI's target Hartley 2, but there is nothing published about it yet.
Also note that a paper titled New visible spectra and mineralogical assessment of 21 Lutetia, a target of Rosetta mission is forthcoming in Astronomy & Astrophysics -------------------- I'm one of the most durable and fervent advocates of space exploration, but my take is that we could do it robotically at far less cost and far greater quantity and quality of results.

Some news about Steins on the french agency site :
http://www.cnes.fr/web/CNES-en/7806-gp-ste...its-secrets.php Interesting information about the string of craters. |

Speaking of which, any idea of when results of the Steins flyby are going to get published in the refereed literature?
