This speed is calculated as the magnitude of a velocity vector that is the difference between Sun-relative velocity vectors of two objects: A) the New Horizons spacecraft B) a theoretical dust particle velocity vector The Sun-relative spacecraft velocity comes from SPICE kernels used by the New Horizons Science Operations Center data processing pipeline. N.H. The kernels used by the operational pipeline may differ slightly from those in the PDS archive data set with DATA_SET_ID [NH-J/P/SS-SPICE-6-V1.0]. The theoretical dust particle is assumed to be 1) at the same position as the New Horizons spacecraft, and 2) in a theoretical, stable, circular prograde, heliocentric keplerian orbit with an instantaneous Sun-relative velocity vector that has 2.1) a direction that is parallel to the J2000 ecliptic plane [i.e. parallel to the XY plane of NAIF/SPICE frame ECLIPJ2000], and 2.2) a magnitude equal to the speed derived by this formula: SPEED = 1E-3 x SQRT(G x Msun x (1-beta) / R) where SPEED = Norm of Sun-relative velocity, km/s 1E-3 = Conversion from m/s to km/s SQRT = Square root function G = Gravitational constant = 6.67408E-11, m^3/kg/s^2 Msun = Mass of the Sun, 1.9889E30, kg beta = 0 = correction for solar pressure R = Heliocentric distance, m Units are consistent with G (m**3 kg**-1 s**-2) N.B.
