This data set consists of ephemeris data shown in GSE and GSM coordinates for the orbits of Explorer 41 plotted on one reel of 35-mm microfilm. The X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z projections are available for both coordinate systems. The X-Y GSE projection shows the computed average position of the bow shock as computed by Dr. D. Fairfield of GSFC. Two three-dimensional perspectives are also available for each coordinate system for each orbit. Every plot shows one full orbit curve and tabular listings of the orbit number, apogee, perigee, start time, stop time, coordinate system, and projection or perspective for the orbit. An asterisk is used to mark the first noon or midnight (UT) encountered, with tick marks used at successive 12-hour points.
