VEX Magnetometer (MAG) Calibrated Data (RDR)

RDR – Calibrated Data Record

PDS Data Set ID: VEX-V-Y-MAG-3-V1.0, VEX-V-Y-MAG-3-EXT1-V1.0, VEX-V-Y-MAG-3-EXT2-V1.0, VEX-V-Y-MAG-3-EXT3-V1.0, VEX-V-Y-MAG-3-EXT4-V1.0

The Venus Express Magnetometer (MAG) calibrated data products (RDR) are space magnetic field data in physical units, i.e. space magnetic field in nanoTesla and in VSO coordinates. The time resolution is 1Hz for this type of data; all higher data rates are downsampled and included, such that full data-coverage 24 hr per day is obtained, with only few data-gaps.

The basic data were collected during the Venus Express mission from Launch (9th November 2005) to the end of the nominal mission(03 Oct 2007).

MAG RDR products have the following file names:

MAG_YYYYMMDD_DOYXXX_DZZZ_VN.TAB

where:

YYYYMMDD = date

XXX = day of the year

DZZZ = denotes the DATA-rate of the data in the file, where D is used for original data-rate files from the S/C; values are according to the scheme: D001 for 1 Hz data-rate only

N = Version number

In ODE, MAG RDR products have the following product IDs:

MAG_YYYYMMDD_DOYXXX_DZZZ_VN.TAB
