comment
This file contains vector magnetic field data acquired by the Fluxgate Magnetometer instrument aboard the MAVEN spacecraft. The data are calibrated and provided in physical units (nT). The data has been downsampled to 1 second to provide a more compact dataset. The data are expressed in Planetocentric coordinates.

description
Universal time of the sample at the spacecraft. The time appears as 6 integer columns (year, day of year, hour, minute, seconds, millisecond). Individual elements of the time column are separated by a single ASCII space character and have leading zeros omitted. The individual elements can be read by using the following FORTRAN format: '(2X,I4,1X,I3,3(1X,I2),1X,I3)' IYR IDOY IHR IMIN ISEC IMSEC
