Time span: 1964-12-01 to 1965-06-01
This 146 magnetic tape data set, available from the experimenter, contains a complete set of reduced data for the life of the experiment with about 80% time coverage. The data are written on 7-track tapes in IBM 7094 binary format. Each record is 460 words long and contains one absorber wheel revolution of data. The data include time (UT), satellite position parameters in geocentric inertial and B, L coordinates, attitude parameters, etc., stored in floating point format. Also included are current, count rates, and housekeeping channel readings for 256 telemeter frames. The channel readings for each frame are packed together as binary integers in one 36-bit word. There are 12 orbits, which amount to about 3.8 days of data on each tape.
