aareadme_atdf.txt  John F. Cooper  May 26, 2016
This directory holds documents and data for the Pioneer 10 and 11 Archival Tracking Data Files (ATDF) used to analyze the so-called Pioneer Anomaly. 
Sub-directories: 
Data: on-line accessible ATDF files from the NSSDC tape archive, separately as validated to be "good" by Craig Markwardt (GSFC) and as transmitted to Slava Turyshev (JPL). Note that many of the original data files were found to be unreadable. 
Documents: original NSSDC data submission documents, notes by Craig Markwardt (GSFC) on how to read and use the data files, arXiv preprints of Slava Turyshev (JPL) on the Pioneer Anomaly analysis. 
Software: IDL software routines from Markwardt to read the ATDF data. 

Note: this directory is currently undergoing reconstruction and may be updated later with additional data and documents. Some documents and data files here TBD may also be from Pioneer 11.
