  Data Set Overview
  =================
 
    This dataset contains data generated by MIRO during the Earth
    Swing-by 1 mission  phase of Rosetta. These data cover the
    following periods and activities:
 
    (All are in 2005, so Year is omitted from dates.)

  Geometry Information
  ====================
 
    The MIRO data file labels contain vectors specifying the position
    of the Sun and Target body relative to the spacecraft and the
    velocity of the Target body relative to the spacecraft.  The value
    s of the keywords SC_SUN_POSITION_VECTOR,
    SC_TARGET_POSITION_VECTOR and SC_TARGET_VELOCITY_VECTOR are
    related to the ECLIPJ2000 reference frame.  The values of
    SUB_SPACECRAFT_LATITUDE and SUB_SPACECRAFT_LONGITUDE are northern
    latitude and eastern longitude in the standard planetocentric IAU
    <TARGET_NAME> frame.  All values are computed for the the midpoint
    of the observations.  Distances are given in <km>, velocities in
    <km/s>, angles in <deg>.
 
    This information was obtained using the following NAIF/SPICE
    kernel files:
 
    ORHR_______________00028.BSP
    de405s.bsp
 
    The vectors were retrieved using the NAIF call SPKEZ() with a
    correction for one-way light time and stellar aberration using a
    Newtonian formulation.

processing errors are expected. For a discussion of the
reliability of the MIRO instrument itself, see the documentation
included with this and subsequent mission archives.
