MESSENGER MAG Calibrated RTN Coordinates Science Data Collection

The spacecraft position is given by the radial distance from Sun center, northward latitude above the instantaneous ecliptic plane, and azimuth angle of the spacecraft in the instantaneous ecliptic plane with respect to the Earth-Sun line, positive in direction of the Earth's orbital motion. The data are tagged with latency corrected UTC and MET time stamps.

The RTN CDR is derived from the Science EDR.
