This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

Vega 1 Calibrated Dust Impact Mass Analyzer Observations of Comet Halley

Status: ARCHIVED

Abstract: The data from MPI for this dataset were received as text files each containing spectra of a single instrument mode (there were several files for most modes). These spectra were reformatted into binary tables, and all spectra from each mode were combined into a single file. The original order of the spectra has been preserved. Spacecraft time, relative to switch-on of the instrument is specified as 1 clock tick = 0.11852 seconds. The exact equation is:
