The Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) Calibrated Data Record (GNC) data products are ASCII files of coefficients for polynomials used to adjust the amplitude of the samples from a single receiver channel. The gain calibration accounts for changes in receiver attenuator settings and the system temperature of the channel.

There are two RSS GNC files. The first file is named 4156130B.GNC, with its corresponding label file. It contains coefficients for all S-band right-circular polarization observations on June 5, 1994.

The second file is named 4152130D.GNC, with corresponding label file. It contains coefficients for all S-band left-circular polarization observations.

In ODE, the GNC files have the following product IDs:

4156130B

4152130D
