Data Set Overview ================= The data from the ROSETTA PLASMA CONSORTIUM (RPC) Ion Composition Analyser (ICA) was submitted by Hans Nilsson for the RPCICA team. The data set contains data of mass resolved positively charged ions in the energy range a few eV to 40 keV. The raw data is separated into mass channels or mass channel ranges, not actual ion mass. For most circumstances, significant counts are seen only for certain directions, mass channels and energy levels. The data is thus sparse with many zeros. The unit is COUNTS. This dataset contains RAW DATA from the RPCICA instrument on mission ROSETTA during the second Earth swingby. RPC-ICA was on, but did not obtain any useful measurements. Data set version 3 replaces a previously delivered data set. Important changes are the the expansion of data to a uniform resolution, Inclusion of the mode variable and new quality flags in the data and moving information about software version, BAD_HV_MASK and SHADOW_MASK to the label.
These data are available on-line from the Planetary Data System (PDS) at:
