This information may be useful when analyzing data from the Apollo 12 Solar Wind Spectrometer. The file includes the X, Y, and Z GSE coordinates for the Moon in units of kilometers as well as the GSE latitude and longitude in degrees. The time resolution is 1728 seconds (1/50 of a day). The GSE system has its X-axis pointing from the Earth toward the Sun and its Y-axis is chosen to be in the ecliptic plane pointing towards dusk (thus opposing planetary motion). Its Z-axis is parallel to the ecliptic pole. Relative to an inertial system this system has a yearly rotation. Position is from Earth's center of mass to Moon's center of mass. The GSE coordinates in this file were generated by the Satellite Situation Center (SSC) at Goddard Space Flight Center on the SSCWeb (http://sscweb.gsfc.nasa.gov/)." END_OBJECT = ASCII_DOCUMENT END
