DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
Dataset Overview
================
This dataset contains data acquired by the Galileo Magnetometer
during the Ida flyby on Aug 28, 1993. It includes browse data,
high-resolution data in both spacecraft and Ida-centric
coordinates and trajectory data. A sample of cruise phase data
around the time of encounter has also been included to provide
a context for the encounter data.
Note that the START_TIME and STOP_TIME above refer to the encounter
period. The ancillary cruise data cover an additional several weeks
before and after the encounter period.

Parameters
==========
The primary parameters provided in each data file are:
browse Time, magnetic field components
cruise Time, magnetic field components in RTN coordinates,
spacecraft position and trajectory parameters
hrsc Time, rotor parameters, magnetic field component in
spacecraft coordinates
hrgeoph Time, magnetic field components in Gaspra-SE, EME-50
and RTN coordinates
traject Time, trajectory components in GASE coordinates, range
and solar latitude and longitude
Processing
==========
These data were provided by the Galileo project to support the
Ida/Gaspra observations. They have not been changed by SBN
personnel, but neither have they been updated for any possible
improvements in the mission data production pipeline. For the
most recent version, please contact the Galileo Project.
Data
====
For a detailed description of the data in each file, including
acquisition, sampling and coordinate system notes, see the
accompanying documentation files.
Coordinate System
=================
The data are provided relative to several different coordinate
systems. See the accompanying documentation files for details.
Media/Format
============
The data are being delivered on CDROM to the PDS archive and
the National Space Science Data Center. Copies of all or part of
this collection may also be available for downloading directly
from the on-line archives of the Small Bodies Node.
