ULY SCE: Ulysses Jupiter Flyby Radio Tracking Data for Io Plasma Torus

1992-02-04 20:28 to 1992-02-09 15:44 is the coverage period for this raw radio tracking data from the Ulysses (ULY) Solar Corona Experiment (SCE). The data targets the Io Plasma Torus (IPT) and was obtained during the spacecraft's Jupiter flyby. It was published by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration and last updated on the platform in March 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyze plasma density and structure in the Io Plasma Torus based on raw radio tracking signals.
• Model Jupiter's magnetospheric interactions during the Ulysses flyby based on the described radio experiment data.
• Study temporal variations in the solar corona's influence on radio signals as implied by the experiment's name and target.
• Correlate spacecraft trajectory data with plasma observations for the specified 1992 time window.

Strengths

• Data covers a specific, documented 5-day event during the 1992 Jupiter flyby.
• Originates from the authoritative source National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
• Last platform update was recorded as 2026-03-13 07:13:14.600403.

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.
