VEX-V-Y-MAG-3-EXT1

This data set comprises calibrated data from the Venus Express Mag (MAG) instrument. i.e. space magnetic field in nanoTesla and in VSO coordinates. The time resolution is 1Hz; all higher data rates are downsampled and included, such that full datacoverage 24 hr per day is obtained, with only few datagaps. 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). The basic data is comprised of uncalibrated raw measurement data, calibrated data, resampled data and geometry information. Also included documentation. DATA CONTENTS: HOUSEKEEPING data: NO HK data (temperatures, voltages) are injected into the archive, since they are NOT used for calibration. They are stored at IWF and are used for monitoring the health of the instrument. Since this is in perfect order, NO HK data were used for calibration. MEASUREMENT data: CODMAC 3 (CALIBRATED) data level is provided for 1 Hz data resolution, basically with full datacoverage on a daily basis, since MAG is ON in principle at ALL times. Higher dataresolutions were downsampled on ground with the same methods as onboard and merged into the 1 Hz data set, to enable a full coverage with equidistant samples in time. Higher datarates cannot be calibrated on a regular basis and are therefore not contained in the dataset. DIRECTORY NAMING CONVENTIONS: In the DATAdirectory, data are archived according to different phases from the flight before the Venus Orbit Insertion. After Venus orbit injection, data directories are archived according to DATA PHASE NAME, which is according to DATE and not according to orbit numbers. Therefore, all DATAdirectorynames contain a DATA PHASE NAME, as defined in Table below, and an indication of the data or timeresolution of the data.
