Coordinate Systems ------------------ Solar Equatorial (se) Coordinates: The solar equatorial (se) coordinate system and it will be used for cruise data only. This system is useful for heliospheric studies and mimics the RTN system that has been widely employed for interplanetary cruise. The "se" coordinate system uses the vector from the sun to the spacecraft (x) as the primary reference vector; the secondary reference vector is orthogonal to x and lies in the solar equatorial plane (y), and the third completes the system (z). Sun-State (ss) Coordinates: The ss coordinate system is defined using the instantaneous Mars-Sun vector as the primary reference vector (x direction). The X-axis lies along this vector and is taken to be positive toward the Sun. The Mars orbital velocity vector is the second vector used to define the coordinate system; the y axis lies in the plane determined by the Mars-Sun vector and the velocity vector and is orthogonal to the x axis (very nearly the negative of the velocity vector). The vector cross product of x and y yields a vector z parallel to the northward (upward) normal of the orbit plane of Mars. This system is sometimes called a sun-state (ss) coordinate system since its principal vectors are the Sun vector and the Mars state vector. It is identical to the MSO system. Planetocentric (pc) Coordinates: The planetocentric (pc) coordinate system is body-fixed and rotates with the body as it spins on its axis. The body rotation axis is the primary vector used to define this coordinate system. Z is taken to lie along the rotation axis and be positive in the direction of positive angular momentum. The X-axis is defined to lie in the equatorial plane of the body, perpendicular to Z, and in the direction of the prime meridian as defined by the International Astronomical Union (IAU). The Y axis completes the right-handed set. Payload (pl) Coordinates: The sc body upper panel face (upon which the high gain antenna (HGA) sits) lies in the x - y plane, with the x axis parallel to the solar array hinge line, pointing down towards the deployed auxiliary pointed platform (APP). The y axis is parallel to the other face and is defined such that the sc z axis (x cross y) is aligned with the HGA boresight (approximately).
