This data collection consists of daily spacecraft position coordinates in ASCII format, as converted from the Version 3.1 final archive (NSSDC ID # 72-012A-13L) for Plasma Analyzer data originally submitted to NSSDC in VMS binary format. Data files with names p10platr_YYYY.asc include one year of data (YYYY = 1972 to 1995). Documentation for this and other Version 3.1 data sets are provided in SFDU format in ascii text file P10PLA_VOLDESC.SFDU, and the original format for the ephemeris data set is given in FORMATTR.SFDU. The FORTRAN source code PIOPLATR.FOR from file PIOPLATR.SFDU was used to convert the original binary files to ASCII format. The sequence of data fields in the ASCII version is the same as in the original binary format and each ASCII field is separated by one blank space. Data field names are listed at the top of each data column.
