GO V PWS RESAMP SUMMARY: Galileo Plasma Wave Spectra at Venus

GO V PWS RESAMP SUMMARY VENUS SPECTRUM ANALYZER 60S V1.0 contains 1-minute averages of electric and magnetic wave spectra. The data was collected by the Galileo spacecraft's plasma wave receiver during an approximately 53-minute operation at Venus. The dataset is provided by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and was last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing plasma wave spectra based on electric and magnetic field measurements mentioned in the description
• Studying the interaction between the solar wind and Venus's atmosphere based on wave data
• Comparing planetary plasma environments using data from the Galileo spacecraft
• Validating models of wave propagation and turbulence in space plasmas

Strengths

• Data originates from the Galileo spacecraft, a major NASA mission.
• Provides 1-minute averaged spectra, which suggests a processed, analysis-ready format.
• Covers a specific ~53-minute observational period, offering a focused snapshot.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count and file size are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
