DATE AND TIME:
PDT = Pacific Daylight Time - local time in Pasadena,CA
UTC = Coordinated Universal Time (Greenwich Mean Time) - 7 hours ahead of PDT
LTST = Local True Solar Time - local time on Mars at the
Pathfinder landing site
RADIUS FROM MARS CENTER - distance of spacecraft from center of Mars
ALTITUDE ABOVE MARS SURFACE - distance of spacecraft from the surface
of a SPHERICAL Mars with radius equal to
Mars' radius at the Pathfinder landing site
(3390.47 km)
DISTANCE TO MARS ATMOSPHERE - total distance measured ALONG THE SPACECRAFT'S
TRAJECTORY from it current position to the point
where it hits the top of the Mars atmosphere.
(This number will be negative after atmospheric
entry interface on 7/4/97 09:51:49 PDT)
DISTANCE TRAVELED SINCE INJECTION - total distance measured ALONG THE SPACECRAFT'S
TRAJECTORY from launch to its current position.
VELOCITY RELATIVE TO MARS CENTER - velocity of the spacecraft with respect to
the center of the planet Mars in an inertial
reference frame. This DOES NOT include the
rotational velocity of the planet.
VELOCITY RELATIVE TO MARS SURFACE - velocity of the spacecraft with respect to
Mars in the Mars body-fixed frame. This DOES
include the rotational velocity of the planet.
This is the one that should be decreasing during
descent and approach zero as we hit the surface.
DISTANCES TO EARTH & SUN - distance from Earth and Sun centers to spacecraft
GEOCENTRIC & HELIOCENTRIC VELOCITIES - velocity of the spacecraft with respect
to the centers of Earth and the Sun in an inertial
reference frame.
