Data Set Overview
=================
This dataset contains the Galileo spacecraft trajectory during the
interplanetary cruise. The data have been derived from SPICE
kernels at a 1 minute sample rate. The data are provided in RTN
coordinates.
Data Columns:
time S/C event time (UT)given in the form yyy-mo-dayThh:mm:ss.sssZ
R S/C radial distance from the sun
LAT S/C solar east longitude(1950)
LON S/C solar latitude
Coordinate Systems
==================
The Galileo trajectory are being archived in fixed heliocentric
coordinates. The R component is the Sun->spacecraft range given in
units of Au (149674000 km). LAT is the solar latitude given in units
of degrees and measured from the ecliptic plane. LON is the solar east
longitude measured from the First Point of Aries(1950).
Data Processing:
The SPICE SPK files used to derive this product are:
GLL_LONG_2.BSP
GLL910314.BSP
GLL911107.BSP
GLL921228.BSP
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).
