DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION This dataset contains the Supplemental Experimenter Data Records (SEDR) as provided by the Pioneer project to the Magnetometer team (C.T. Russell - PI). The dataset covers the entire period of orbital operations, orbits 1-5055 (1978-12-05 to 1992-10-07). Each orbit was originally provided on a separate IBM 9-track 800 bpi tape which contained 6 files: 1) Standard Label file [sl] , 2) Ephemeris file [ep], 3) S/C Attitude file [at], 4) Pulse Time file [pt], 5) Selected Roll Reference file [sr], 6) Spin period file [sp]. The original structure has been preserved within the limitations of the CD-ROM media, and the PDS data archive rules. The data remain in individual orbit files in IBM binary and EBCDIC representations. One additional file has been provided by the UCLA Magnetometer team who have taken the primary responsibility for the SEDR archive. There is a ''corrected pulse time file'' which is identical to the original pulse time file in structure but which differs in content. The data in this file have been corrected using the OEFD phase information from the XXXXX channel. These data give a more accurate approximation of the actual Sun pulse than is contained in the raw SEDR data. When there are no OEFD data available to make this correction, there is no corrected pulse time file. This situation occurs near solar conjunctions.
