           Data are located in "DATA" directory in groups of 50 orbits.

           There is no data for orbits 3761-3787 due to a superior conjunction. 
           According to Ames, there is not science data for orbits 3971-3973, 
           though the reason for these missing orbits is not clear.

           The number of records found was different than the number expected 
           for each of the following files. The reason for this is unknown.

           file           expected     found
           CO3590.DAT     799          769
