PVO VENUS SC POSITION DERIVED VSO COORDS 12 SECOND VER1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: August 03, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17

This dataset contains Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO) spacecraft position and orientation data in Venus Solar Orbital (VSO) coordinates. This dataset is sampled every 12 seconds near periapsis, and at 1 minute or 10 minute rates in the solar wind, the lowest rates near apoapsis. Planetocentric and heliocentric position vectors and solar zenith angle (Sun-Venus-PVO) are also provided. The VSO parameters are derived from the PVO Supplemental Experimenter Data Records (SEDR), other parameters are taken directly from the SEDR dataset.
