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.
