Data Set Abstract This dataset contains the Supplemental Experimenter Data Records (SEDR) as provided by the Pioneer project to the Magnetometer team (C.T. Russell - PI). The dataset covers the entire period of orbital operations, orbits 1-5055 (1978-12-05 to 1992-10-07). Each orbit was originally provided on a separate IBM 9-track 800 bpi tape which contained 6 files: 1) Standard Label file [sl] , 2) Ephemeris file [ep], 3) S/C Attitude file [at], 4) Pulse Time file [pt], 5) Selected Roll Reference file [sr], 6) Spin period file [sp]. The original structure has been preserved within the limitations of the CD-ROM media, and the PDS data archive rules. The data remain in individual orbit files in IBM binary and EBCDIC representations.
