Instrument Host Information
IDENTIFIER urn:nasa:pds:context:instrument_host:spacecraft.mgn::1.2
NAME MAGELLAN
TYPE Spacecraft
DESCRIPTION For most Magellan experiments, data were collected by instruments on the spacecraft. Those data were then relayed via the telemetry system to stations of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) on the ground. Radio Science experiments (such as radio occultations) required that DSN hardware also participate in data acquisition.
