| Data Set Abstract |
The Lunar Prospector attitude data set consists of values for the
spacecraft spin rate and spin axis orientation (attitude) as a
function of time. These values are determined from spacecraft
attitude data (sun and limb crossing sensors) and ephemeris data.
Spacecraft orientations are given as right ascension and
declination of the spacecraft spin axis in the Mean-of-J2000
Ecliptic reference frame. The attitude data set consists of a
single, cumulative file for the entire mission. Records are added
to this file following each significant change in either the spin
rate or spin axis orientation. The spacecraft spin rates and
attitudes in this data set are orbit averages. The instantaneous
spin rate can be determined from the sun pulse data set. The
instantaneous spin rate varies as the spacecraft passes into and
out of the Moon's shadow and after each spacecraft maneuver.
Generally, an attitude record is included for times immediately
before and after each maneuver. |
