NSSDCA ID: SPMS-00669
Availability: At NSSDC, Ready for Electronic Access
Time span: 1977-10-22 to 1987-09-26
This data set contains only the three magnetic field components in spacecraft coordinates, plus the total magnitude of the field, plus universal time. These definitive data, which are averaged over four seconds, supersede all previous data sets from this instrument. For orbit/attitude information or any other data parameters, other archived data sets must be used. The supporting information for this data set includes computer programs for a variety of purposes, including conversion from this data set's UCLA-IGPP "flat file" binary to ASCII format.
A companion definitive data set (SPMS-0000158, old ID 77-102B-04U) contains UT, 60-second averages of the four-second data in both spacecraft and GSM coordinates, standard deviations, attitude/orbit information, several coordinate system rotation matrices, and theoretical model magnetic field components (in GSM).
