description: <br> Corresponding Dataset for Precision of Spacecraft <br> Doppler Tracking at Low Signal-to-Noise Ratios<br> README FILE<br> Dustin Buccino<br> January 1, 2023<br> Jet Propulsion Laboratory<br> California Institute of Technology =============================================================================<br> INTRODUCTION<br> ============================================================================= This dataset contains open-loop data collected by the Planetary Radar<br> and Radio Science Group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory from the Low-SNR<br> Ground System Demonstration with DSS-25 in May 2020. Futhermore, it<br> also provides the necessary data behind the figures in the corresponding<br> publication. This dataset is provided in order to supplement the submitted<br> article to the "Radio Science" journal Buccino, D.R., et al (2023), Precision of Spacecraft Doppler Tracking <br> at Low Signal-to-Noise Ratios, Radio Science, submitted<br> January 2023. =============================================================================<br> ARCHIVE INFORMATION<br> ============================================================================= This archive contains several data types, located within subdirectories.<br> <br> ROOT<br> `- 159TEST2022133_1845X25X25RO.A02_XATnn_nndBHz<br> <br> These files are the open-loop data collected at the DSN <br> during the test. There are six files, one for each SNR level. The<br> files are in the DSN-standard 0159-Science format (binary data).<br> To decode these files, one should utilize the software <br> interface specification documents from the Planetary Data System<br> radio science documentation bundle: https://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/<br> radiosciencedocs/urn-nasa-pds-radiosci_documentation/<br> <br> `- figures.zip<br> <br> This directory contains all data necessary to reproduce the figures<br> in the publication. Data include Doppler residuals, SNR measurement,<br> Allan deviation and associated parameters. Each file in this <br> directory is plain-text. =============================================================================<br> ACKNOWLEDGMENTS<br> ============================================================================= This work was carried out at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, <br> California Institute of Technology, under contract with the National <br> Aeronautics and Space Administration.
