OSIRIS
 
 
 
OSIRIS (Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System) is a wide-angle camera and a narrow-angle camera to obtain high-resolution images of the comet’s nucleus and the asteroids that Rosetta passes on its voyage to Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. It will help in identifying the best landing sites.
 
Principal Investigator: H.U. Keller, MPAe, Katlenburg-Lindau, Germany.
