This dataset contains vectors collectedby the Pioneer Venus Orbiter (previously Pioneer 12) Magnetometer which havebeen averaged over 24 seconds on 12 second centers. The data are provided inspacecraft coordinates whose system has it Z axis antiparallel to thespacecraft spin axis during orbit. This choice maintained the Z axisalong roughly the Earth's ecliptic north pole. Late in the missionwhen it was believed that the shadowing of the solar panels bythe booms was causing a problem, the spin axis was moved to thepole of the Venus orbital plane.
