These data, prepared at GSFC are listings of satellite position for each minute of Greenwich mean time. Position is described by geographic latitude, longitude, and altitude above an ellipsoid of revolution closely approximating the mean earth surface. Position data for special times (equator crossings, northernmost and southernmost points, sun entrance and exit, etc.) are also listed. Listings are computed and listed by books (one book for each epoch) of about 2 weeks of position/time data, headed by the orbit elements and constants used in computation of the positions. The data are contained on nine 100-ft reels of 16-mm microfilm (as of April 1971).
