Overview
========
This data set contains the System III (1965.0) trajectory and Sun and
Earth phase angles of Galileo and selected Jovian moons when Galileo was
inside 30 Jupiter radii from Jupiter. Trajectories are sampled every 20
seconds.
Coordinates
===========
The Jupiter System III (1965) coordinate system follows the definition of
Dr. Alex Dessler in Appendix B of 'Physics of the Jovian Magnetosphere'
[DESSLER1983]. This coordinate system is the accepted standard for
analysis of data from the jovian system. System III is a spherical,
planetographic coordinate system where the planetary rotation rate of
(9h, 55m, 29.71s) is based on the rate of rotation of Jupiter's magnetic
field. The prime meridian is defined as the sub-Earth meridian at
00:00:00 UT on Jan 1, 1965. Range is measured from the Jupiter center of
mass. Longitude for standard System III is measured west. This direction
choice causes the coordinate system to be left-handed and to a stationary
or distant observer, longitude increases with time.
Also included are the Earth and Sun phase angles of each body at each
sample time. Phase angles are the projection of the 3-body angle
(Sun-Jupiter-body or Earth-Jupiter-body) into the Jovian equatorial
plane. The angle is measured from the anti-Sunward (or anti-Earthward)
line, positive in the counterclockwise direction.

Earth phase angle follows the same convention - simply replace the
Sun in the diagram above with the Earth.
Data Sampling
=============
The data are sampled every 20 seconds inside of 30 Jupiter radii.
Data Processing
===============
The trajectory data were created using code written by Steven Joy to
extract information from the SPICE (GO-J-SPICE-6-SPK-V1.0) products
produced by the Galileo project. The software used to create this
ephemeris is well tested and in agreement with similar software provided
by the Galileo project. All of the SPICE kernels used to produce this
data set are contained on the Io/J0 MWG archive volume CDROM in the
GEOMETRY directory.
Data
====
These data are derived from SPICE kernels produced by the Galileo NAV
team during the mission. All of the SPICE kernels used to produce this
data set are contained on the MWG archive volume DVD in the
EXTRAS/SPICE/KERNELS directory.
The kernels (PDS PRODUCT_ID) used to create this were:
S980326B.TSP - Prime Mission Reconstruction (JA - E12)
S000131A.TSP - GEM reconstruction (E12-E26)
S030129A.TSP - GMM (I27-A34) reconstruction, J35 predict
PCK00007.TPC - Planetary constants kernel (2000-04-24)
MK00062B.TSC - Galileo spacecraft clock kernel
All data are archived in ASCII tables (1 orbit/file). The data files for
all orbits contain the following columns:

Due to their much lower periapsis, the data files for orbits A34 and J35
include ephemeris information for Amalthea (semimajor axis 2.5 Rj), and
Thebe (semimajor axis 3.1 Rj). These files include the following
additional columns:
------------------------------------------------------------------------

AMA_WLON real Amalthea System III west longitude <degrees>

AMA_EPHASE real Amalthea Earth phase angle <degrees>

Ancillary Data
==============
SPICE kernels MK98264A.TLS (leapseconds), MK98264A.TLS (spacecraft
clock), PK96030A.TPC (planetary constants), S980326B.TSP, S991130A.TSP,
and S030129A.TSP (spacecraft/planetary ephemeris), and the rotor attitude
file ROT_ATT.TAB located in the GEOMETRY directory of the GOMW_5001
volume can all be considered as ancillary data files for this data set.
These are the files that were used to generate this data set. Ideally,
these data should be generated on demand using the latest SPICE kernels
available from the NAIF Node of the PDS.
