PVO VENUS MAG RESAMPLED SC COORDS 24SEC AVGS V1.0

Listed in NASA Data Portal

This dataset contains vectors collected by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (previously Pioneer 12) Magnetometer which have been averaged over 24 seconds on 12 second centers.

Description

The data are provided in spacecraft coordinates whose system has it Z axis antiparallel to the spacecraft spin axis during orbit. This choice maintained the Z axis along roughly the Earth's ecliptic north pole.

Late in the mission when it was believed that the shadowing of the solar panels by the booms was causing a problem, the spin axis was moved to the pole of the Venus orbital plane.
