Jupiter Encounter Inside 7 RJ, JG Coordinates Data On Magnetic Tape

NSSDC ID: 73-019A-01E
Mission Name: Pioneer 11
Experiment Name: Magnetic Fields

Availability: Data at NSSDC Ready for Distribution
Time Span: 1974-12-03 to 1974-12-03 (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 7 Jupiter radii; the second file
contains Pioneer 11 data inside 7 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-centered JG system; and 1-min averages
of X, Y, Z components of field in JG. Jovigraphic (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.
