Data Set Overview
    =================
      This data set includes Voyager 2 Jupiter 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 Jupiter in Rj = 71398 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 System III coordinates.

Overview
    ========
      This dataset was generated using the NAIF SPICE S and P kernals
      for Voyager 2 at Jupiter; there is no reason to believe that
      there are problems with the dataset.
