Overview:
=========

This data set contains instrument derived data obtained by the Ion and
Electron Sensor (RPC-IES) onboard the ROSETTA spacecraft from the
Escort Phase 1, for the time interval 19 Nov 2014 until 10 Mar 2015.
The target of this phase was comet 67P/CHURYUMOV-GERASIMENKO 1 (1969 R1).

EXT2 RPC-IES Data Archive
=========================

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

CODMAC Level/Type             Data Type      Data Content

          5 / DERIVED Data     table         Derived ion & electron moments


The data can be found in the
DATA directory.

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

Supporting files for the Archive user include PDS descriptions,
documents, and searchable indices. These have been organized into
directories one level below the root including: 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)
            */*.ASC (ASCII text documents)
            */*.TXT (ASCII text documents)
            */*.PDF (PDF documents)
../INDEX/INDXINFO.TXT (Description of the index directory contents)
         INDEX.LBL    (PDS LABEL file for INDEX.TAB)
         INDEX.TAB    (Index of the data set in tabular format)
../DATA/*.TAB (IES data, presented as ASCII table)
        *.LBL (PDS LABELS of the IES data files)
../CALIB/CALIBINFO.TXT (list of calibration files)
         *.TAB (tables used for calibration)
         *.LBL (PDS labels of the calibration tables)

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.
