The Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS) is the primary imaging system on the Rosetta spacecraft. The primary scientific objectives of OSIRIS are to determine the volume, bulk density, rotational state, topography, surface features, color, and mineralogy of the nucleus; analyze short term variability, mass loss rate, outbursts, crustal diffusion processes, non-gravitational forces, and active regions on the nucleus; characterize possible landing sites; search for gravitationally bound material, particularly large orbiting particles; and study the dust and gas environment, including all sources of dust emission and their variation with time, optical and physical properties of the dust, dust partical size distri... ...Show More
