RO-CAL-E-ALICE-3-EAR3

Required Reading The format of all Alice data are described in detail by the EAICD document located in the /DOCUMENT directory. In addition, the Rosetta Alice logbook file, RA_LOGBOOK_NNN.ASC, also located in the DOCUMENT directory provides observational details such as observation target, commanded exposure time, etc., for all Alice data. The Alice team strongly recommends reading this documentation before using the data. Data Set Overview This data set contains calibrated data acquired by the Rosetta Orbiter ALICE UV Spectrometer during the Earth Swingby 3 mission phase, which took place between 20090914 and 20091213. It also includes data from Payload Checkout 10. A detailed listing of all Alice observations is given in the observation log file located in the DOCUMENT directory. The following Alice observations were made during the period covered by this data set: # # Payload Checkout #10 (PC10) # 2009 September 18 October 8 # Alice activity overview: # * 2009 Sep 18 02:15 AL01 (passive checkout; 2 hr) # * 2009 Sep 18 04:00 AL02A (initial decontamination; 25 hr, 22hr heater + 3hr cooldown) # * 2009 Sep 19 05:45 Alice interference test repeat with MIRO, OSIRIS, VIRTIS (15 min) # * 2009 Sep 19 06:25 AL04 (HV/Discriminator test alf Gru; 22hr 40min) # * 2009 Sep 20 05:10 AL03B (Cal Star, Narrow Center alf Gru; 1 hr) # * 2009 Sep 20 07:30 AL11 (Stellar Flat field Scan alf Gru; 5 hr 25 min) # * 2009 Sep 20 14:50 AL99A (flight software patch, v2.07; 45 min) # * 2009 Sep 24 10:00 GO/NOGO for remaining Alice operations based on results of AL99A patch # * 2009 Sep 25 23:55 AL99B (validation test of flight software patch, v2.07; 2hr) # * 2009 Sep 26 02:10 AL03A (Cal Star, Narrow Center Vega; 1hr) # * 2009 Sep 26 05:05 AL06B, AL08B (Cal Star, Wide Bottom & Top alf Gru; 2 hr 10 min) # * 2009 Sep 26 07:10 AL09A/B/C (Alignment with OSIRIS alf Gru; 4 hr 15 min) # * truncated!, Please see actual data for full text [truncated!, Please see actual data for full text]
