| DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION |
This dataset contains Voyager 2 position vectors relative to the Sun in both cartesian and spherical Heliographic coordinates for the time when Voyager 2 was near Uranus but not within its magnetosphere. The position vectors are given every 48 seconds. The units of the vector components are Au and degrees. Vectors are stored as 4-byte floating point values. The Heliographic coordinate system is defined in the reference epoch of 1950. The unit vectors which define the coordinate system are as follows: X points away from the Sun towards the ascending node, in the solar equatorial plane, Z points along the Sun's spin axis, positive above the equatorial plane, and Y completes the right handed set.

| CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE |
This dataset was provided by the Voyager Magnetometer team. There is a significant problem with loss of precision in the spacecraft position. This is not an artifact of the Mag teams processing or handling of the data but in the precision of the Supplemental Experimenter Data Records (SEDR) for Voyager.
