Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

Processing of OSIRIS spectroscopic cam images from ESA’s Rosetta spacecraft

About OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System)

OSIRIS is the scientific imaging system on the orbiter of ESA’s Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

OSIRIS comprises two cameras: a high resolution Narrow Angle Camera (NAC) and a Wide Angle Camera (WAC). OSIRIS observes the cometary rotation, and studies the physical and chemical processes that occur in, on, and near the cometary nucleus.

The strength of OSIRIS is the coverage of the entire nucleus and its local environment with high spatial and temporal resolution. The spectral sensitivity entends the reflected solar continuum from the near-UV up to the onset of thermal emission.
