PVO VENUS SC POSITION DERIVED VSO COORDS 12 SECOND VER1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: August 04, 2025 at 12:40 AM | Dataset Last Updated: July 17, 2025
This data set contains wave electric field amplitudes measured at four different frequencies by the Pioneer Venus Orbiter Electric Field Detector. The four frequencies are 100 Hz, 730 Hz, 5.4 kHz, 30 kHz. The frequency filters are narrow-band, with a 30% bandwidth. Thus wave intensities are given in V2/m2/Hz. The filters are continuously active, but data are only provided at a rate determined by the spacecraft telemetry rate. The wave antenna is oriented perpendicular to the spacecraft spin axis, and so the wave instrument measures only wave fields in the spacecraft spin plane. Spin modulation of naturally occurring signals can be used to obtain two dimensional wave field information. The wave antenna is a small Y-shaped structure, with effective separation of 0.76 meters. The spin phase of the effective dipole is included within the high resolution data set for each of the channels, which are sampled at different times.
