DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
Data Set Overview  :  The Juno (JUNO) Jupiter (JU) Gravity Science (GS) Raw Data Archive (RDA) is the set of raw and partially processed  radio science data collected in support of the gravity investigation at Jupiter starting in July 2016.  The earliest data in this data set were collected  on 2016-07-04. During perijoves, ODF tracking data, TNF tracking data,  open-loop RSR data, and AMC calibration data are collected. Most perijoves contain X-band and Ka-band Doppler data. During perijove 0, the Jupiter Orbit Insertion main engine maneuver and were performed in a non-coherent mode. Jupiter orbit  insertion Doppler data are available in the ODF format only. Perijove 1 was a gravity science perijove conducted in the X-up/X-down X-up/Ka-down configuration over DSS-55. During Perijove 2, the  spacecraft entered safe mode. Coherent X-band Doppler data are available for Perijove 2 over DSS-26. Perijoves 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, and 18 will be conducted in the MWR attitude and only X-band data through the Medium Gain Antenna are available. All other perijoves contain Ka-band tracking data in addition to X-band. Between perijoves, X-band Doppler and Range data are provided in  the ODF directory in per-orbit files.   The closed-loop system used a phase-lock loop in the ground receiver  to track the downlink signal, reporting both amplitude and frequency at  rates typically of 1-10 times per second. Closed-loop data are efficient for characterizing slowly changing signals and are the input to  operational navigation and orbit-determination processes. Open-loop data (because of their much higher rate and volume) are collected only when the signal is expected to be very dynamic -- such as during a spacecraft maneuver or during perijove.  The data set includes three primary data types. Tracking and Navigation Service Data Files (TNFs) are the most primitive (and most voluminous) product of the closed-loop system. Orbit Data Files (ODFs) are compressed versions of TNFs, specifically targeted to spacecraft navigators and scientists interested in gravity fields. Radio Science Receiver records (RSRs) are the primary data type from the open-loop system.  Typical users of these data might analyze range and Doppler  measurements in ODFs to reconstruct the spacecraft trajectory or determine the gravity field. Relevant questions would include the measurement uncertainties in range and Doppler at different DSN antennas; the uncertainties could set constraints on any model of the gravity field developed later, for example. The TNF data are generally reserved for use in more sophisticated investigations or where information beyond what is available in the ODF may be required. For example, the TNF contains the phase of the transmitted and received signals whereas the ODF focuses mainly on the frequency. RSR data were collected during tracks dedicated to Radio Science, primarily during all science perijoves.  Parameters  :  The TNF is the primary output from the DSN closed-loop system. In the TNF about 20 record types are defined, each designed for a particular audience, although it was frequently the case that users needed more than one record type. The emphasis of the data is on phase of the transmitted and received signals. Each TNF is accompanied by a PDS minimal label which points to a software specification document (TNF_SIS.TXT) in the DOCUMENT directory of the archive for detailed descriptions of the records and fields.  The ODF is a minimally processed output of the closed-loop receiver.  It contains the most important information (range, Doppler and frequency ramps) needed by spacecraft investigators, and investigators interested  in determining gravity fields. Each ODF is accompanied by a full  PDS label which describes both the content and format of the  associated file. ODF data fields include:   Narrowband spacecraft VLBI, Doppler mode (cycles)  Narrowband spacecraft VLBI, phase mode (cycles)  Narrowband quasar VLBI, Doppler mode (cycles)  Narrowband quasar VLBI, phase mode (cycles)  Wideband spacecraft VLBI (nanoseconds)  Wideband quasar VLBI (nanoseconds)  One-way Doppler (Hertz)  Two-way Doppler (Hertz)  Three-way Doppler (Hertz)  One-way total count phase (cycles)  Two-way total count phase (cycles)  Three-way total count phase (cycles)  PRA planetary operational discrete spectrum range (range  units)  SRA planetary operational discrete spectrum range (range  units)  RE(GSTDN) range (nanoseconds)  Azimuth angle (degrees)  Elevation angle (degrees)  Hour angle (degrees)  Declination angle (degrees)  Radio Science Receiver (RSR) records contain samples of open loop receiver output; the samples are complex and can have 1-16 bits in both the in-phase (I) and quadrature (Q) components, depending on sampling rate and precision requested. Sampling rates between 1 ksps and 16 Msps may be requested. Each RSR file is accompanied by a full PDS label which describes both the format and the content at the bit level. Open Loop Files (OLF) is a processed version of the open loop data containing Doppler data extracted utilizing a  phase-locked loop. The format of these files is identical to the Orbit Data File (ODF) described above. Each OLF is  accompanied by a full PDS label describing the content and format of the associated file.  Processing  :   Typical TNFs contained data from a 24-hour period, combining data from several antennas if there were multiple passes in one day. The files archived for Juno were not screened for 'bad' points.  ODFs are abstracted from subsets of TNF data, the uncompressed output  of the closed-loop receiver at the Deep Space Network. A full PDS label accompanies each ODF file and gives a bit level description of  the content and format.   Data  :  The data set contains primary data and secondary data. Primary  data are those files which would normally be used to derive science  products and investigation results. Ancillary data are needed  for the processing or interpretation of primary data but are  not usually considered to have science value of their own.  For gravity science, there are two types of primary data.  Listings of primary and secondary files can be found in INDEX/INDEX.TAB  for the data set (as of the most recent delivery).  TNFs contain the most primitive (and most voluminous) output from the closed-loop radio science system; they are stored in the TNF directory.

Relevant Data Archived At Other Sites : The Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) is the navigation node of the PDS. NAIF provides the archives for spacecraft navigation, attitude, events, clock conversion, and planetary ephemerides for most NASA missions. Additionally, NAIF provides the SPICE toolkit, containing useful algorithms to utilize and manipulate data NAIF provide.  Relevant to gravity science are the following types: * CK: Spacecraft and solar array attitude orientation files * EK: Spacecraft events kernel * FK: Reference frame specification * SCLK: Conversion between spacecraft time and ephemeris time * SPK: Spacecraft and Planetary ephemeris data   Software  :  Software for parsing, reducing, and analyzing data such as  these has been developed at several institutions.  Because such software must usually operate at the bit-level and  is written for a narrow range of platforms, it is not suitable  for general distribution. No software is included with this  archival data set.   Media/Format  :  These data have been delivered to the PDS Atmospheres Node  electronically.

ABSTRACT_TEXT This data set contains archival raw, partially processed, and ancillary/supporting gravity science data acquired during the Juno Jupiter orbits starting in July 2016. The radio observations were carried out using the Juno spacecraft and Earth-based receiving stations of the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN). The data set was designed primarily to determine the gravitational field of Jupiter. Of most interest are likely to be the Orbit Data Files in the ODF directory, which provided the raw input to gravity investigations, as well as the tropospheric media calibration file produced by the Advanced Media Calibration (AMC) system.
