Data Set Overview
=================
 
The Lunar Prospector spacecraft position data set consists of
spacecraft position in selenographic latitude, longitude, and altitude
coordinates in one minute intervals.  The data set also contains
spacecraft velocity and distance from the center of the Moon as a
function of time.  The coordinate system is selenographic with east
longitude positive.  The data set is generated by the Goddard Flight
Dynamics Analysis Branch.

Each file in the spacecraft position data set covers 24 hours of time.

 
Science Objectives
==================

The Lunar Prospector science objectives relevant to this data set are
to map the Moon's surface composition and its magnetic field, and to
determine the frequency and location of gas release events.  A special
emphasis of the science objectives is to search for polar water ice
deposits [BINDERETAL1998].  The spacecraft position data are used
to locate where on the Moon science data were acquired. "

Confidence Level Overview
=========================

A negligible amount of flattening (1x10^-30) is used for the Moon.
Thus, selenographic latitude is nearly equal to selenocentric latitude
with almost no error.  The mean radius and GM of the Moon used to
generate this data set are 1738 km and 4902.8014 km^3/s^2,
respectively.

Data Coverage and Quality
=========================

Spacecraft position data exist for the entire Lunar Prospector Primary
Mission.  "
