Introduction                                                                 
============                                                                 
This volume contains Voyager 2 ephemeris data in System III (1965)           
coordinates from the Jupiter encounter. The data set provides 48 second data 
generated from SPICE and 96 second data from SEDR.                           
                                                                             
Data that may appear on this volume as version 1.1 was previously archived   
with the NSSDC and PDS as version 1.0. Changes include reformatting of the   
time column, standardization of flag values, and upgrading of labels and     
catalog templates to PDS version 3.2. Data found on this volume supersede    
all previous versions.                                                       
                                                                             
Every effort has been made to insure that the data are of the best quality   
available. However, the PDS and the Planetary Plasma Interactions (PPI) Node 
in particular, assume no liability for this volume or its contents. Users are
encouraged to verify the 'correctness' of the data prior to submitting any   
publications or other work based on these data.

  CATALOG   PDS catalog templates describing the Voyager mission,            
            spacecraft, instruments, data sets, key personnel and references 
                                                                             
  DATA      science data from the Voyager 2 ephemeris data in System III

Important Files and Directories                                              
-------------------------------                                              
                                                                             
All data files are stored, either in ASCII (.TAB) or binary (.DAT) format    
files, in the /DATA branch of the directory tree. The content of each data   
file is described by a detached PDS label file (.LBL). A single format file  
(.FMT), which is pointed to by the label file (^STRUCTURE), describes the    
data file's internal structure or record format. The files DATASET.TXT and   
INFO.TXT provide additional information about data set and directory         
contents.                                                                    
                                                                             
An *INFO.TXT file (e.g. CATINFO.TXT, etc.), containing a description of the  
directory tree and sub-directory contents, is located in every directory     
immediately below the root. The INFO.TXT files provided on selected data     
sub-directories contain detailed descriptions of the directories on which    
they are located.
