Saturn Encounter,1-Min 10-S + 2-Min 26-S Fluxgate Magnetometer Averages, on
Tape

NSSDC ID: 73-019A-14D
Mission Name: Pioneer 11
Experiment Name: Jovian Magnetic Field

Availability: Data at NSSDC Ready for Distribution
Time Span: 1979-09-01 to 1979-09-01 (as determined by NSSDC)

Description

This data set consists of the highest resolution magnetic field measurements
made with the fluxgate magnetometer during the Pioneer 11 encounter of
Saturn. The time resolution is usually 70 or 146 seconds. The data are on an
ASCII magnetic tape. Each data record contains the distance from Saturn to
the spacecraft in Saturn radii; the Saturn-centered latitude and west
longitude of the spacecraft; the radial, azimuthal and polar components of
the magnetic field in Gauss in the same Saturn-centered coordinate system;
and the time as year, hour, minute and second. The first seven records
contain a description of the data. There are 12.5 hours of data, from 7.5
Saturn radii inbound to 6.7 Saturn radii outbound and a 1.5-h gap due to
spacecraft occultation.
