Particle Accumulations and Pulse Height Analysis

NSSDC ID: SPHE-00525

Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)

Time span: 1968-03-05 to 1972-07-14

Description

This experimenter-supplied data set consists of prescaled 1-min charged particle accumulations and pulse height analysis, on binary magnetic tapes, written using an XDS 930 computer. Each file contains one orbit of data. There are a variable number of physical records per file, but each physical record will always be a multiple of 15 words (60 characters) and fewer than or equal to 1200 words total. A physical record contains time (UT); the individual telescope detector 1-min accumulations D0, D1, D2, D3, A1, and A2; coincidence modes D0D1D2D3 not A1 not A2, D0D1D2D3A2 not A1, and D0D2D3 not A1; pulse height analysis of D2 output (seven channels) and D3 output (eight channels) for certain coincidence modes; various data quality flags; telemetry bit rate (1, 8, or 64 kbs); and several housekeeping parameters. All telemetry frames with overlap or erroneous time information have been deleted. The time coverage is about 80% for spacecraft altitudes above 80,000 km.
