| DESCRIPTION |
This calibration collection contains data products which support the MESSENGER Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) raw data archive.
This collection contains various calibration data products: (1) Antenna configuration state files: The MESSENGER project produces antenna configuration data from each contact for which they are available. They give the state of the antenna. The data file is accompanied by detached full PDS label. The file contains antenna configuration status indicators. For each day, there is an entry at 00:00 that describes the antenna configuration at the start of the day, and additional entries for each change in the antenna configuration. This product is cumulative over the course of the mission. (2) Ionosphere Calibration Files: These files are DSN TRK-2-23 Media Calibration files. These provide ionospheric calibration information. They are of two types, Doppler and range data and Delta Differenced One-way Ranging (VLBI). The file naming convention differs from the others in that the stop date contains only the day of year (not the year) and 'tt' is either VL for the VLBI files and DP for the Doppler and range files. These are generated periodically by the DSMS and provided by JPL. (3) Light Time Files: These files provide one way light travel time values for both the upleg and downleg directions between the MESSENGER spacecraft and the three Deep Space Communications Complex (DSCC) facilities. (4) Momentum Dump Maneuver files: This is a cumulative file that contains angular momentum dump data associated with each propulsive event. It is updated with each release and the newer version replaces the older one. (5) Maneuver Performance Data Files: These are generated by the MESSENGER project when there is a propulsive event. These contain estimates of spacecraft mass and center of mass; moments of inertia; thruster locations, directions, and magnitudes; and propellant flow rate. (6) Small Forces Files: These are generated by the MESSENGER project when there is a propulsive event. They give information on the cumulative delta-V effect on the spacecraft due to thruster firing, mass loss due to the expenditure of propellant, and cumulative on-times for each individual thruster. (7) Troposphere Calibration Files: These files are DSN TRK-2-23 Media Calibration files. These provide tropospheric calibration information. These are generated periodically by the DSMS and provided by JPL. (8) DSN Weather Files: These files are DSN TRK-2-24 Weather files. They give information about the weather conditions at a given DSCC. The file naming convention differs from the others in that the stop date contains only the day of year (not the year) and 'ss' is the DSCC number (10 - Goldstone, 40 - Canberra, 60 - Madrid). These are generated periodically by the DSMS and provided by JPL.
