Data Set Abstract This dataset contains Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) spacecraft position and orientation data in Venus Solar Orbital (VSO) coordinates. This dataset is sampled every 12 seconds near periapsis, and at 1 minute or 10 minute rates in the solar wind, the lowest rates near apoapsis. Planetocentric and heliocentric position vectors and solar zenith angle (Sun-Venus-PVO) are also provided. The VSO parameters are derived from the PVO Supplemental Experimenter Data Records (SEDR), other parameters are taken directly from the SEDR dataset.
