A 3D View on Churyumov–Gerasimenko Comet

Python version pre-commit Ruff Checked with mypy Code style: black Documentation with jupyterbook

Overview👀

The Rosetta mission was the first mission designed to orbiting and landing on a comet. The objective🎯 of the mission was to study the way in which the Solar System evolved, and to do so (and after some changes in the mission) the decision of visit the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko☄️ was taken.

Objective🎯

The objective of this project is to generate a 3D visualization of the comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko by utilizing data from the Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS), which is a camera system onboard the orbiter Rosetta. This involves defining a coordinate system for the comet, which has a unique shape, and deriving a shape model that contains three-dimensional information of the comet.

The shape model, which includes vertices (positional vectors with X, Y, and Z coordinates), edges (links between vertices), and faces (areas enclosed by edges, defined by a list of vertex indices), enables the rendering, visualization, and manipulation of 3D objects representing the comet.

Additionally, shape models of comet 67P have also been derived using data from the Navigation Cameras (NAVCAM), originally intended for engineering purposes to determine the spacecraft's orientation in space, but which have also provided valuable scientific insights.

The project aims to leverage these shape models for creating detailed and accurate 3D visualizations of comet 67P.

Result🏁🪄

The outcome of this project is a GIF image with a file size of 16.9 MiB, which showcases comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko rotating around its center. This visualization shows the 3D shape model derived from data obtained by the Optical, Spectroscopic, and Infrared Remote Imaging System (OSIRIS) aboard the Rosetta orbiter, as well as insights from the Navigation Cameras (NAVCAM). The GIF effectively demonstrates the comet's unique structure and dynamics by providing a comprehensive 360-degree view, enhancing our understanding and appreciation of its complex geometry and surface features.

Rules and guidelines

In order to get the best out of the template:

  • Don't remove any lines from the .gitignore file we provide
  • Make sure your results can be reproduced by following a data engineering convention
  • Don't commit data to your repository
  • Don't commit any credentials or your local configuration to your repository. Keep all your credentials and local configuration in conf/local/

How to install dependencies

Declare any dependencies in src/requirements.txt for pip installation and src/environment.yml for conda installation.

To install them, run:

pip install -r src/requirements.txt

How to run your Kedro pipeline

You can run your Kedro project with:

kedro run

How to test your Kedro project

Have a look at the file src/tests/test_run.py for instructions on how to write your tests. You can run your tests as follows:

kedro test

To configure the coverage threshold, go to the .coveragerc file.

Project dependencies

To generate or update the dependency requirements for your project:

python -m piptools compile --upgrade --resolver backtracking -o src/requirements.lock src/requirements.txt -v
pip install -r src/requirements.lock

This will pip-compile the contents of src/requirements.txt into a new file src/requirements.lock. You can see the output of the resolution by opening src/requirements.lock.

After this, if you'd like to update your project requirements, please update src/requirements.txt and re-run kedro build-reqs.

How to work with Kedro and notebooks

Note: Using kedro jupyter or kedro ipython to run your notebook provides these variables in scope: catalog, context, pipelines and session.

Jupyter, JupyterLab, and IPython are already included in the project requirements by default, so once you have run pip install -r src/requirements.txt you will not need to take any extra steps before you use them.

Jupyter

To use Jupyter notebooks in your Kedro project, you need to install Jupyter:

pip install jupyter

After installing Jupyter, you can start a local notebook server:

kedro jupyter notebook

JupyterLab

To use JupyterLab, you need to install it:

pip install jupyterlab

You can also start JupyterLab:

kedro jupyter lab

IPython

And if you want to run an IPython session:

kedro ipython

How to convert notebook cells to nodes in a Kedro project

You can move notebook code over into a Kedro project structure using a mixture of cell tagging and Kedro CLI commands.

By adding the node tag to a cell and running the command below, the cell's source code will be copied over to a Python file within src/<package_name>/nodes/:

kedro jupyter convert <filepath_to_my_notebook>

Note: The name of the Python file matches the name of the original notebook.

Alternatively, you may want to transform all your notebooks in one go. Run the following command to convert all notebook files found in the project root directory and under any of its sub-folders:

kedro jupyter convert --all

How to ignore notebook output cells in git

To automatically strip out all output cell contents before committing to git, you can run kedro activate-nbstripout. This will add a hook in .git/config which will run nbstripout before anything is committed to git.

Note: Your output cells will be retained locally.
