Voyager 1 Jupiter Ephemeris System III Coordinates Bundle Readme
Introduction
============
This is a PDS4 archive of the VG1-J-POS-6-SUMM-S3COORDS-V1.1 dataset
that was originally archived under PDS3 in the VG_1501 volume.
Under PDS4 this volume is organized into several collections, including
Data_SEDR, Data_SPICE and Document. PDS4 documentation is all XML. There is
an XML label for every product in the archive.
Under the PDS3 standard all archives were self contained and could in
principal be stored in a single file system (disk, CD-ROM, etc.). PDS4 takes
advantage of the modern network capabilities that allow archives to be
distributed. As a result, some of the documents and meta data previously
stored in the PDS3 catalog files are no longer maintained locally, but are
maintained in a central repository. Those files are referenced by PDS unique
identifiers.
This document includes information pertaining to the Voyager 1 Jupiter
Ephemeris System III Coordinates Bundle, which includes Voyager 1 Jupiter
encounter ephemeris data in System III (1965) left handed coordinates
covering the period 1979-03-03 to 1979-03-16. Two versions, both covering
the same time period, but containing slightly different data, are provided.
One version was generated by the Voyager MAG team from Voyager 1 SEDR, the
other by the PDS/PPI node using the VG1_JUP.BSP and PCK00003.TCP SPICE
kernels. (Note: These SPICE kernels are not currently archived in PDS, but
they are available from NASA's Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility
(NAIF), https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/index.html)
Every effort has been made to insure that the data are of the best quality
available. However, the PDS and the Planetary Plasma Interactions (PPI) Node
in particular, assume no liability for this bundle or its contents. Users are
encouraged to verify the 'correctness' of the data prior to submitting any
publications or other work based on these data.
Contacts
========
The person most directly responsible for the construction and release of
this bundle is Mr. Steven Joy. He was the PPI Node Data Administrator at the
time this volume was created and understands as much about the structure
and data organization as anyone. The construction of the PDS labels and
templates was done by Mr. Joe Mafi. Other PPI personnel who may be aware of
about issues related to this bundle include Dr. Raymond Walker, the PDS/PPI
node manager.
