ESA’s Rosetta mission was launched in March 2004 and is on its way to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko, where it is scheduled
to arrive in summer 2014. It comprises a payload of 12 scientific instruments and a Lander. All instruments are provided by
Principal Investigators, which are responsible for their operations.
As for most ESA science missions, the ground segment of the mission consists of a Mission Operations Centre (MOC) and a Science
Operations Centre (SOC). While the MOC is responsible for all spacecraft-related aspects and the final uplink of all command
timelines to the spacecraft, the scientific operations of the instruments and the collection of the data and ingestion into
the Planetary Science Archive are coordinated by the SOC. This paper focuses on the tasks of the SOC and in particular on
the methodology and constraints to convert the scientific goals of the Rosetta mission to operational timelines. 相似文献

The Grain Impact Analyser and Dust Accumulator (GIADA) onboard the ROSETTA mission to comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko is devoted
to study the cometary dust environment. Thanks to the rendezvous configuration of the mission, GIADA will be plunged in the
dust environment of the coma and will be able to explore dust flux evolution and grain dynamic properties with position and
time. This will represent a unique opportunity to perform measurements on key parameters that no ground-based observation
or fly-by mission is able to obtain and that no tail or coma model elaborated so far has been able to properly simulate. The
coma and nucleus properties shall be, then, clarified with consequent improvement of models describing inner and outer coma
evolution, but also of models about nucleus emission during different phases of its evolution. GIADA shall be capable to measure
mass/size of single particles larger than about 15 μm together with momentum in the range 6.5 × 10−10 ÷ 4.0 × 10−4 kg m s−1 for velocities up to about 300 m s−1. For micron/submicron particles the cumulative mass shall be detected with sensitivity 10−10 g. These performances are suitable to provide a statistically relevant set of data about dust physical and dynamic properties
in the dust environment expected for the target comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko. Pre-flight measurements and post-launch checkouts
demonstrate that GIADA is behaving as expected according to the design specifications.

The remote sensing of comets in the ultraviolet bandpass has been a valuable tool for studying the structure, composition,
variability, and physical processes at work in cometary comae. By extension, these studies of comae have revealed key insights
into the composition of cometary nuclei. Here we briefly review the ultraviolet studies of comets, and then take a look toward
the future of such work as anticipated by the advent of several key new instruments.

The Philae lander is part of the Rosetta mission to investigate comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It will use a harpoon like device to anchor itself onto the surface. The anchor will perhaps reach depths of 1–2 m. In the anchor is a temperature sensor that will measure the boundary temperature as part of the MUPUS experiment. As the anchor attains thermal equilibrium with the comet ice it may be possible to extract the thermal properties of the surrounding ice, such as the thermal diffusivity, by using the temperature sensor data. The anchor is not an optimal shape for a thermal probe and application of analytical solutions to the heat equation is inappropriate. We prepare a numerical model to fit temperature sensor data and extract the thermal diffusivity. Penetrator probes mechanically compact the material immediately surrounding them as they enter the target. If the thermal properties, composition and dimensions of the penetrator are known, then the thermal properties of this pristine material may be recovered although this will be a challenging measurement. We report on investigations, using a numerical thermal model, to simulate a variety of scenarios that the anchor may encounter and how they will affect the measurement. 相似文献

The Rosetta Orbiter Spectrometer for Ion and Neutral Analysis (ROSINA) will answer important questions posed by the mission’s
main objectives. After Giotto, this will be the first time the volatile part of a comet will be analyzed in situ. This is
a very important investigation, as comets, in contrast to meteorites, have maintained most of the volatiles of the solar nebula.
To accomplish the very demanding objectives through all the different phases of the comet’s activity, ROSINA has unprecedented
capabilities including very wide mass range (1 to >300 amu), very high mass resolution (m/Δ m > 3000, i.e. the ability to resolve CO from N2 and 13C from 12CH), very wide dynamic range and high sensitivity, as well as the ability to determine cometary gas velocities, and temperature.
ROSINA consists of two mass spectrometers for neutrals and primary ions with complementary capabilities and a pressure sensor.
To ensure that absolute gas densities can be determined, each mass spectrometer carries a reservoir of a calibrated gas mixture
allowing in-flight calibration. Furthermore, identical flight-spares of all three sensors will serve for detailed analysis
of all relevant parameters, in particular the sensitivities for complex organic molecules and their fragmentation patterns
in our electron bombardment ion sources. 相似文献

The main objective of the Mutual Impedance Probe (MIP), part of the Rosetta Plasma Consortium (RPC), is to measure the electron
density and temperature of Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko’s coma, in particular inside the contact surface. Furthermore,
MIP will determine the bulk velocity of the ionised outflowing atmosphere, define the spectral distribution of natural plasma
waves, and monitor dust and gas activities around the nucleus. The MIP instrumentation consists of an electronics board for
signal processing in the 7 kHz to 3.5 MHz range and a sensor unit of two receiving and two transmitting electrodes mounted
on a 1-m long bar. In addition, the Langmuir probe of the RPC/LAP instrument that is at about 4 m from the MIP sensor can
be used as a transmitter (in place of the MIP ones) and MIP as a receiver in order to have access to the density and temperature
of plasmas at higher Debye lengths than those for which the MIP is originally designed. 相似文献

The Rosetta dual Langmuir probe instrument, LAP, utilizes the multiple powers of a pair of spherical Langmuir probes for measurements
of basic plasma parameters with the aim of providing detailed knowledge of the outgassing, ionization, and subsequent plasma
processes around the Rosetta target comet. The fundamental plasma properties to be studied are the plasma density, the electron
temperature, and the plasma flow velocity. However, study of electric fields up to 8 kHz, plasma density fluctuations, spacecraft
potential, integrated UV flux, and dust impacts is also possible. LAP is fully integrated in the Rosetta Plasma Consortium
(RPC), the instruments of which together provide a comprehensive characterization of the cometary plasma.
The LAP Team is listed in Table III. 相似文献

SESAME is an instrument complex built in international co-operation and carried by the Rosetta lander Philae intended to land
on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014. The main goals of this instrument suite are to measure mechanical and electrical
properties of the cometary surface and the shallow subsurface as well as of the particles emitted from the cometary surface.
Most of the sensors are mounted within the six soles of the landing gear feet in order to provide good contact with or proximity
to the cometary surface. The measuring principles, instrument designs, technical layout, operational concepts and the results
from the first in-flight measurements are described. We conclude with comments on the consequences of the last minute change
of the target comet and how to improve and to preserve the knowledge during the long-duration Rosetta mission. 相似文献

ROLIS (Rosetta Lander Imaging System) is one of the two imaging systems carried by Rosetta’s Lander Philae, successfully launched
to comet 67P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko in March 2004. Consisting of a highly-miniaturized CCD camera, ROLIS will operate as a descent imager, acquiring imagery
of the landing site with increasing spatial resolution. After touchdown ROLIS will focus at an object distance of 30 cm, taking
pictures of the comet’s surface below the Lander. Multispectral imaging is achieved through an illumination device consisting
of four arrays of monochromatic light emitting diodes working in the 470, 530, 640 and 870 nm spectral bands. The drill sample
sites, as well as the Alpha X-Ray Spectrometer (APXS) target locations will be imaged to provide context for the measurements
performed by the in situ analyzers. After the drilling operation, the borehole will be inspected to study its morphology and to search for stratification.
Taking advantage of the Lander’s rotation capability, stereo image pairs will be acquired, which will facilitate the mapping
and identification of surface structures. 相似文献

The International Rosetta Mission is set for a rendezvous with Comet 67 P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014. On its 10 year journey
to the comet, the spacecraft will also perform a fly-by of the two asteroids Stein and Lutetia in 2008 and 2010, respectively.
The mission goal is to study the origin of comets, the relationship between cometary and interstellar material and its implications
with regard to the origin of the Solar System. Measurements will be performed that shed light into the development of cometary
activity and the processes in the surface layer of the nucleus and the inner coma.
The Micro-Imaging Dust Analysis System (MIDAS) instrument is an essential element of Rosetta’s scientific payload. It will
provide 3D images and statistical parameters of pristine cometary particles in the nm-μm range from Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.
According to cometary dust models and experience gained from the Giotto and Vega missions to 1P/Halley, there appears to be
an abundance of particles in this size range, which also covers the building blocks of pristine interplanetary dust particles.
The dust collector of MIDAS will point at the comet and collect particles drifting outwards from the nucleus surface. MIDAS
is based on an Atomic Force Microscope (AFM), a type of scanning microprobe able to image small structures in 3D. AFM images
provide morphological and statistical information on the dust population, including texture, shape, size and flux. Although
the AFM uses proven laboratory technology, MIDAS is its first such application in space. This paper describes the scientific
objectives and background, the technical implementation and the capabilities of MIDAS as they stand after the commissioning
of the flight instrument, and the implications for cometary measurements. 相似文献
