occultation_type in Occultation_​Supplement

Name: occultation_typeVersion Id: 1.0.0.0
Description: occultation_type distinguishes between three types of occultation experiments: Stellar, Solar, or Radio. Stellar occultations involve observing a star as a targeted ring or body passes in front, as seen from either a spacecraft or Earth-based observatory. Solar occultations are similar to stellar occultations except that the Sun is used in place of a star. Radio occultations typically involve observing the continuous-wave radio transmissions from a spacecraft as it passes behind the target as seen from a radio telescope on Earth or another spacecraft. Required in labels of occultation observations. Normally not intended as a value for a table field.
