DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
Data Set Overview : This data set includes Voyager 1 Saturn encounter position data that have been generated at a 48.0 second sample rate using the NAIF SPICE kernals. The data set is composed of 4 columns: 1) ctime - this column contains the data acquisition time. The time is always output in the ISO standard spacecraft event time format (yyyy-mm-dd-Thh:mm:ss.sss) but is stored internally in Cline time which is measured in seconds after 00:00:00.000 Jan 01, 1966, 2) r - this column contains the radial distance from Saturn in Rs : 60330 km, 3) longitude - this column contains the east longitude of the spacecraft in degrees, 4) latitude - this column contains the latitude of the spacecraft in degrees. Position data is given in Minus Saturn Longitude System (kronographic) coordinates. Processing Level Id : 4 Software Flag : Y Processing Start Time : 1988-09-21 Processing Stop Time : UNK Parameters : Sampling Parameter Name : TIME Data Set Parameter Name : POSITION VECTOR Sampling Parameter Resolution : 48.000000 Minimum Sampling Parameter : 19770905120000.000000 Maximum Sampling Parameter : UNK Sampling Parameter Interval : 48.000000 Minimum Available Sampling Int : 48.000000 Sampling Parameter Unit : SECOND Description ----------- A position vector is a triad which describes the location of a point in 3-space relative to some origin.
