Data Set Abstract |
This data set includes Voyager 1 Saturn encounter position data
that have been generated at a 48.0 second sample rate using the
NAIF SPICE kernals. The data set is composed of 4 columns: 1)
ctime - this column contains the data acquisition time. The time
is always output in the ISO standard spacecraft event time format
(yyyy-mm-dd-Thh:mm:ss.sss) but is stored internally in Cline time
which is measured in seconds after 00:00:00.000 Jan 01, 1966, 2)
r - this column contains the radial distance from Saturn in Rs =
60330 km, 3) longitude - this column contains the east longitude
of the spacecraft in degrees, 4) latitude - this column contains
the latitude of the spacecraft in degrees. Position data is given
in Minus Saturn Longitude System (kronographic) coordinates. |
