Position_Separation

Copyright WDC C1 for STP at RAL.


This is a calculated set of derived parameters about the AMPTE-IRM and AMPTE-UKS spacescraft.

The Position-Separation database was calculated at RAL and holds data at 5 minute intervals, including velocity and relative position vectors.

The 'separation' and one other selected vector will be available. The seconds field will be ignored by the selection program. The nearest data record to that requested will be supplied if no direct match is available.

The co-ordinate system for this data is GSE with units of RE. The Separation field is measured in km, all velocities are in km/s and the IRM Spacecraft is at the origin of the UKS-IRM vector (the UKS-IRM values are of UKS relative to IRM).
