ROSINAsensorit

ROSINAsensorit is a software package designed for reading and processing data from ROSINA sensors. ROSINA, the Double Focus Mass Spectrometer onboard the Rosetta spacecraft, was an instrument used to analyze the composition of the coma and nucleus of comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. The ROSINAsensorit software provides tools for users to access and interpret the scientific data collected by this complex instrument.

The primary functions of ROSINAsensorit include data calibration, conversion, and visualization. It allows scientists to transform raw sensor readings into scientifically meaningful quantities, such as mass-to-charge ratios and relative abundances of different ions. The package also offers capabilities for plotting and analyzing the spectral data, enabling researchers to identify and quantify various chemical species present in the cometary environment.

ROSINAsensorit is typically used by planetary scientists and researchers involved in cometary studies. Its development and maintenance are part of the broader effort to make the scientific legacy of the Rosetta mission accessible for further analysis and discovery. The software helps to bridge the gap between the raw instrument data and the scientific interpretation required to understand the origins and evolution of comets. Access to and utilization of ROSINAsensorit are crucial for anyone studying the composition of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko as observed by the ROSINA instrument.
