Voyager 2 Magnetometer (MAG)

This directory provides 1.92 second, 9.6 second, and 48 second averaged magnetic field data in Heliographic (RTN) and Kronographic (L1) coordinates. Those data were recorded on Voyager 2 from the Saturn encounter between 1981-08-23 and 1981-09-03. All data were averaged from the 60 millisecond instrument samples. Saturn has a spin period of about 10 hours.
