This data set consists of the index of the photos obtained on the Pioneer 10 flyby of Jupiter on December 3, 1973, from the Imaging Photopolarimeter. The parameters provided are (1) the imaging sequence number, (2) mid-time of the exposure, (3) range of the spacecraft from the planet, (4) pixel size of the footprint on the planet's surface from which resolution can be derived, (5) phase angle, (6) latitude, and (7) longitude of the center of the disk in systems I and II. The numbering is decreasing until closest approach and preceded by the letter A. After closest approach, the numbers increase and are preceded by the letter B. Therefore, A numbers indicate approaching photos and B numbers denote receding photos.
