Equator-S Epheneris and Auxiliary Prime Parameter 4 s Data

ResourceID
spase://ESA/NumericalData/Equator-S/Ephemeris/PrimeParameter/PT4S

Description

Equator-S Auxiliary Data Prime Parameters. EQUATOR-S was a Low-Cost Mission designed to study the Earth's Equatorial Magnetosphere out to Distances of about 10 Re and it formed Element of the Closely-Coordinated Fleet of Satellites that comprise the IASTP Program. Equator-S was based on a Simple Spacecraft Design and carries a Science Payload consisting of advanced Instruments that were developed for other IASTP Missions. Unique Features of EQUATOR-S were its nearly Equatorial Orbit and its High Spin Rate. It was launched as an Auxiliary Payload on an Ariane-4 Rocket on December 2, 1997. The Mission was intended for a Two-Year Lifetime. See the Equator-S Data Center Manual, EQS-MPE-EDC-01, Section 4.8 AUX
