File 94151RTN.ASC is a set of real-time notes taken while the observations were in progress. This is an ASCII file with 80-byte FIXED_LENGTH records; each record is delimited by a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair. File 94151_A1.ASC is a listing from the program, SPOTTRACK. If a straight line is drawn from the DSN station through the spacecraft, it will intersect the surface at the point where bistatic backscatter occurs. SPOTTRACK calculates this locus of points, accounting for light time and refraction. The listing gives the backscatter points in latitude-longitude pairs as a function of time for several orbits on 31 May 94. This is an ASCII file with 80-byte FIXED_LENGTH records; each record is delimited by a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair. File 94151_B1.ASC is a listing from the program SPOTLIGHT for a single orbit on 31 May 94. The point (64.288N, 7.265E) was selected; SPOTLIGHT calculates the observing geometry and Doppler for a bistatic radar experiment conducted in spotlight mode for this target point. This is an ASCII file with 130-byte FIXED_LENGTH records; each record is delimited by a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair. File 94151_C1.ASC is a listing of spacecraft position and high-gain antenna (HGA) pointing for the same conditions as in 93151_B1.ASC. The pointing is given as the vector along the HGA boresight to the top of the model atmosphere. It should be normalized before use as a pointing vector. This is an ASCII file with 80-byte FIXED_LENGTH records; each record is delimited by a carriage-return (ASCII 13) line-feed (ASCII 10) pair. There are no PostScript files associated with this document." END_OBJECT = ASCII_DOCUMENT END
