Dataset Overview
================
This dataset contains the Galileo spacecraft trajectory during the
Earth 2 flyby. The data have been derived from SPICE kernels at a 1
minute sample rate. The data are provided in both Geocentric Solar
Ecliptic (GSE) and Geocentric Solar Magnetic (GSM) coordinates and are
given in units of earth radii where 1 Re = 6378 km.
Data Columns:
time S/C event time (UT) given in seconds since 1966
scet S/C event time (UT) given in the form yyyy ddd mon day
hh:mm:ss.sss
X S/C position X component in GSE or GSM coordinate
Y_gse S/C position Y component in GSE coordinates
Z_gse S/C position Z component in GSE coordinates
Y_gsm S/C position Y component in GSM coordinates
Z_gsm S/C position Z component in GSM coordinates
Coordinate Systems
==================
The Galileo trajectory data are being archived in 2 coordinate
systems. Geocentric Solar Ecliptic (GSE) and Geocentric Solar Magnetic
(GSM) are related earth centered coordinate systems. Both the GSE and
GSM X directions are taken along the Earth - Sun line, positive
towards the Sun. The GSE Z direction is parallel to the ecliptic
normal, positive northward, and Y completes the right-handed set
(towards dusk). For GSM, the X-Z plane contains the Earth's dipole
moment vector, positive northward, and Y completes the right-handed
set. GSE coordinates are commonly used for analyzing the solar wind
near the Earth and GSM coordinates are used when analyzing data
inside the Earth's bow shock.
Data Processing
===============
These data have been derived from the PDS dataset:
'GO-J-SPICE-6-SPK-E2-V1.0'
The SPK file used to dervied this product was:
'GLL920818.SPK'
Data Quality
============
The data have been derived from the Galileo SPICE kernels using well
tested software from the SPICELIB and GLLSPICE subroutine libraries.
Each data point is computed using S/C and planetary ephemerides
computed at the time of the dataset sample (not interpolated).
