Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

Data Set Abstract This Voyagers 2 data set contains two solar wind plasma data, one spanning from August 19 to September 4 , 1981, and near encounter specific data covering August 24-25. Moment parameters are given in the broader data while the near encounter data is more detailed. The fit parameters assume a convected isotropic proton Maxwellian distribution. Use of fit parameters is recommended as these are normally more accurate. Since only the first 72 or last 72 energy/charge channels are telemetered to Earth from each M-mode spectra, derived parameters change significantly only every other set of spectra so the effective time resolution is 96 second.
