This directory provides the ephemeris data in both Heliographic (RTN) and Kronographic (L1) coordinates during the Voyager 2 Saturn encounter between 1981-08-23 to 1981-09-02. There are two versions of the ephemeris data available. One was generated by the Voyager MAG team from Voyager 2 SEDR (SEDR_HG.TAB and SEDR_L1_.TAB), the other, produced by the PDS/PPI node using Voyager 2 SPICE (SPICE_HG.TAB and SPICE_L1.TAB). Voyager 2 Saturn Flyby Trajectory Overview plots are also provided in X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z planes. Saturn has a spin period of about 10 hours.
