7.5-Min and 1-Hr Count Rates for All Modes
NSSDC ID: SPHE-00608
Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)
Time span: 1967-12-13 to 1969-03-31
Description
This data set consists of an experimenter-supplied magnetic tape, written in EBCDIC on an IBM 370/155. Each logical and physical record contains 1 h of data. Each data record contains time and counts at 7.5-min intervals and for the full hour for each isotropic and anisotropic mode. The time coverage of the tape mirrors the periods during which the spacecraft was being tracked (nearly 100% until October 1968, and then between 60 and 90% through March 1969). Data for times after March 1969 are found in microfilm data set 67-123A-05B. The experimenter also provided a program to generate listings such as those found in data set 67-123A-05B from this data set.
