24-Sec Time Resolution Biaxial Vector Magnetic Field Measurements

NSSDC ID: PSFP-00204

Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Offline Distribution (or Staging if Digital)

Time span: 1971-08-13 to 1972-02-01

Description

This data set contains 24-s-averaged magnetic field data and engineering data every 192 s (the basic cycle time for the subsatellite) on Univac 1108 magnetic tapes. These data are blocked with 560 words per physical record. Contained in the data are time, various data relevant to spacecraft position and housekeeping, and the magnetic field measurements transverse and parallel to the spacecraft spin axis, which along with the sun pulse information yield triaxial magnetic field measurements. Times are in milliseconds.
