Rosetta is an interplanetary spacecraft whose main objective is to rendezvous with comet 67pchuryumov gerasimenko.

Rosetta osiris 16. The advanced high performance imaging system will be pivotal for the success of the rosetta mission. The comet nucleus is about 4 km across. During its journey to the comet the spacecraft flew three times by earth by mars and the asteroids 21 lutetia and 2867 steins. An inset showing a close up of the landing site is also shown.

It consists of two cameras one narrow angle and one wide angle. Comet 67pchuryumov gerasimenko 1 international rosetta mission taken from an altitude of 3172 km from the surface httpsrosetta osiriseuimagenac. Flensburg university of applied sciences. The images also provide proof of p.

Rosetta spacecraft figure 1. The optical spectroscopic and infrared remote imaging system osiris is the main imaging system of the rosetta mission. Osiris will detect 67pchuryumov gerasimenko from a distance of more than 106 km characterise the comet shape and volume its rotational state and find a suitable landing spot for philae the rosetta lander. The narrow angle camera nac is intended for high resolution mapping of the nucleus of comet churyumov gerasimenko while.

Rosettas osiris camera instrument. The inset image was taken by rosettas osiris narrow angle camera on 20 august 2014 from a distance of about 67 km. Max planck institute for solar system research. Rosetta was a space probe built by the european space agency launched on 2 march 2004.

It was launched as the third cornerstone mission of the esas. The image scale is 12 metrespixel. The background image was taken on 16 august from a distance of about 100 km. In order to investigate the comet nucleus and the gas and dust ejected from the nucleus as the comet approaches the sun rosetta carries a suite of eleven instruments on the comet orbiter and philae a lander equipped with a further ten instruments which perform surface measurements.

I am the scientific imaging system onboard the at esarosetta spacecraft at comet 67p. Rosettas lander philae has been identified in osiris narrow angle camera images taken on 2 september 2016 from a distance of 27 km. Rosettas osiris narrow angle camera captured this image of comet 67pchuryumov gerasimenko at 0120 gmt from an altitude of about 16 km above the surface during the spacecrafts final descent on 30 septemberthe image scale is about 30 cmpixel and the image measures about 614 m across.
