This data set provides ephemeris information for IMP-G on microfiche. The data are extracted from the publication "Trajectories of Explorers 33, 35, 41, 43, and 47, May 1969 - December 1972," written by D. H. Fairfield, K. W. Behannon, R. P. Lepping, and N. F. Ness (NASA-GSFC X-692-73-291, October 1973), which contains the ecliptic plane projections of all 381 orbits of Explorer 41. The plots are not useful for detailed studies, but they are useful in indicating the orbital phase of the spacecraft on a given day and showing where apogee is in local time. In addition, one plot is given to show the GSE X-Z projections of four orbits with 1-year spacing.
