Description: The SIX_HOUR subdirectory includes the full six-hour average
interplanetary cruise count rate and flux data set in ASCII format from 
the Voyager 1 Cosmic Ray (CRS) experiment. The data set documentation in 
the VY1CRS_6H_FMT.txt file describes in detail the CRS experiment, 
processing of the data, and the format of this data set, and the 
VY1CRS_PUB.txt file gives a comprehensive list of publications from the 
CRS experiment team. Also see file VY1CRS_NMC.txt in the current directory 
for the experiment description from the NSSDC Master Catalog. 
                                                
Data Source: NSSDC magnetic tape archive, data set 77-084A-08B

Hour averages of the interplanetary solar wind data from, and hourly 
heliocentric coordinates of, Voyager 1/2 and other interplanetary 
spacecraft may be also be accessed and plotted on-line through the 
COHOWeb service based at the same WWW site as above.
