--------------------------------------------------------- NSSDC Master Catalog Display Data Set --------------------------------------------------------- Jupiter Encounter Inside 7 RJ, JG Coordinates Data On Magnetic Tape NSSDC ID: 72-012A-01G Mission Name: Pioneer 10 Experiment Name: Magnetic Fields Availability: Data at NSSDC Ready for Distribution Time Span: 1973-12-03 to 1973-12-04 (as determined by NSSDC) Description These experimenter-supplied, Pioneer magnetometer data for Jupiter close encounters are written in two files on an ASCII magnetic tape. The first file contains Pioneer 10 data inside seven Jupiter radii; the second file contains Pioneer 11 data inside seven Jupiter radii. A third file contains documentation describing the data. Each data record is 80-bytes long and contains the following: ground-received time in days ( 3.0= Dec. 3,00:00): distance of satellite from Jupiter (in Jupiter radii); latitude and longitude of satellite in the Jupiter-entered JG system; and 1-min average of X, Y, and Z components of field in JG. Zenographic (JG) coordinates are defined as follows: the X-axis is in the direction of G, the equatorial vector lying in the system III Prime Meridian 1957-0; the Z-axis is in the direction of J, the spin axis of Jupiter; and the Y-axis is parallel to Jupiter's equatorial plane and completes a right-handed orthogonal system. ------------------- Discipline(s) Planetary Science/Fields and Particles Media Information 1 Restored Tape ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- For questions about this data set, please contact: Dr. John F.
