Level 2 Calibrated Data
Calibrated data for the Cruise 1 and Eros On-Surface phases were not
included in the archive.
Each NEAR instrument team got to decide if it wanted to
drop data when doing the calibrations.
Calibrated data for
each day are provided in 2 coordinate systems: EROS Body Fixed (table file
names beginning with "EBF") and NEAR-Sun-Orbital (table file names beginning
with "NSO").

Level 3 Browse Tools
Browse tools for the Cruise 1 and Eros On-Surface phases were not
included in the archive.
Each NEAR instrument team got to decide if it wanted to
drop data when doing the calibrations.
The calibrated data consist of the highest-time-resolution, science-quality,
magnetic field vectors and associated spacecraft position vectors.
Data are organized by day and in tabular, ASCII format.
