Dataset of Detection Distances to Small Bodies using Spacecraft Cameras

The dataset contains the detection distances to small bodies (in kilometres) considering three different spacecraft camera setups for the full list of known objects by the Minor Planet Center catalogue (https://www.minorplanetcenter.net). A separate ASCII file has been created per each considered phase angle. The generation of the dataset as well as the simulation settings are detailed in the following paper: Franzese, Hein, Modelling Detection Distances to Small Bodies Using Spacecraft Cameras, Modelling 2023, 4(4), 600-610; https://doi.org/10.3390/modelling4040034 The columns of the dataset are as follows: Object: The object's numerical identifier. MPC Designation: The object designation of the Minor Planet Center. Name: The object name, if available. HP Cam & rp: Object detection distance in km considering the high-performance camera and the object at perihelion HP Cam & ra: Object detection distance in km considering the high-performance camera and the object at aphelion MP Cam & rp: Object detection distance in km considering the medium performance camera and the object at perihelion MP Cam & ra: Object detection distance in km considering the medium performance camera and the object at aphelion LP Cam & rp: Object detection distance in km considering the low-performance camera and the object at perihelion LP Cam & ra: Object detection distance in km considering the low-performance camera and the object at aphelion. Note that the detection distances refer to the following phase angles: 0 deg, 15 deg, 30 deg, 60 deg, and 90 deg.

本数据集收录了小行星中心（Minor Planet Center）目录（https://www.minorplanetcenter.net）收录的全部已知天体，在三种不同航天器相机配置下的小型天体探测距离（单位：千米）。针对每种预设相位角，均生成了独立的ASCII文件。本数据集的生成流程与仿真参数设置详见以下论文：Franzese、Hein，《利用航天器相机建模小型天体探测距离》，*Modelling* 2023, 4(4), 600-610；https://doi.org/10.3390/modelling4040034。
