MESSENGER MAG Calibrated RTN Coordinates Science Data Collection
Short Name:
MESS-MAG-RTN
Date:
06 Jan 2023 00:04:11
Publisher:
Planetary Data System
Description:
Calibrated 3-axis magnetic field samples in Radial-Tangential-Normal
(RTN) coordinates. 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.
MESSENGER MAG Calibrated Spacecraft Coordinates Science Data
Collection
Short Name:
MESS-MAG-SC
Date:

Publisher:
Planetary Data System
Description:
Calibrated 3-axis magnetic field samples in sensor and spacecraft
coordinates. The data are tagged with latency corrected UTC and MET
time stamps. The SC CDR is derived from the Science EDR.
MESSENGER MAG Calibrated VSO Coordinates Science Data Collection
Short Name:
MESS-MAG-VSO
Date:
15 Dec 2022 19:25:48
Publisher:
Planetary Data System
Description:
Spacecraft position and calibrated 3-axis magnetic field samples in
Venus Solar Orbital (VSO) coordinates. The data are tagged with
latency corrected UTC and MET time stamps. The VSO CDR is derived from
the Science EDR.
MESSENGER MAG Low-Rate Header Information Data Collection
Short Name:
MESS-RAW-LHD
Date:
03 Feb 2023 20:17:27
Publisher:
Planetary Data System
Description:
MAG instrument state (health and mode) as reported by the LRHK
packet. This changes only on packet boundaries so it is kept in a
separate EDR, minimizing repetition of information. Each row in the
LHRK Header EDR corresponds to information extracted from one LHRK
packet.
MESSENGER MAG Low-Rate Housekeeping Information Data Collection
Short Name:
MESS-RAW-LHK
Date:
03 Feb 2023 20:17:11
Publisher:
Planetary Data System
Description:
This collection contains tables of instrument state as reported by
the MAG Low-Rate Housekeeping (LRHK) packet. It includes the 3-axis
field values (received from the filter and subsampling logic) and the
corresponding AC values.
MESSENGER Magnetic Crustal Field Map Data Collection
Short Name:
MESS-MAG-Crustal
Date:
15 Dec 2022 19:24:22
Publisher:
Planetary Data System
Description:
This collection consists of ASCII files containing derived magnetic
field maps and equivalent source dipole arrays for the crustal
magnetic field of Mercury. Zero values (mainly found along the map
edges) indicate no useful data.
