The Ulysses HISCALE energetic particle data in ULYSSES/PARTICLE/HISCALE have recently been extended through Dec. 1993. These data include omnidirectional and sectored measurements. The Ulysses EPAC energetic particle fluxes are in ULYSSES/PARTICLE/EPAC from launch to Dec. 1994 and also include omnidirectional and sectored data. 7/13/95 JFC BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Ulysses/SWOOPS plasma ion data from 90-11-18 (90/322) through 93-12-31 (93/365) have been completely reprocessed and resubmitted to NSSDC. All SWOOPS ion data files created and retrieved prior to 18 June 1995 should be discarded. New data through 94-04-01 (94/091) have been added to the reprocessed data in directory ULYSSES/PLASMA/SWOOPS/ION. 7/11/95 JFC BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The in-ecliptic data from the Ulysses magnetometer experiment are now in COHO at one minute resolution. These data include RTN field components and the scalar field magnitude as functions of Spacecraft Event Time - UT. The data extend from launch in 1990 through Feb. 2, 1992 and can be found in 10 day ASCII files in subdirectory ULYSSES/MAG/MINUTE along with a brief format file, ULYMAGMN.FMT . 6/23/95 JFC BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ulysses data from the Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) experiment, consisting of integral 0,5-sec omnidirectional counting rates for 1990 - 1994, are now available on off-line tape media (4-mm or 8-mm) from NSSDC. See subdirectory ULYGRB for documentation, software, and data ordering information. 5/12/95 JFC BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The first digital submissions from the COSPIN and HISCALE experiments on Ulysses have been loaded into COHO directories ULYCSP and ULYHSC and cover the respective dates 1990-1993 and 1990-1991. The COSPIN and HISCALE are both in ASCII format and include 10-minute and hourly averages, respectively. These data were acquired courtesy of the Ulysses Data System at ESTEC and the HISCALE home page at the University of Kansas on WWW. 3/30/95 JFC BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Various data types from the Unified Radio and Plasma Wave (URAP) experiment on Ulysses are now in COHO directory ULYURP. These include 10-minute average and peak intensity data, summary plots, and 144 second data. A comprehensive users guide is in the ULYURP directory. 3/22/95 JFC BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Solar wind ion composition data for 1990 - 1993 are now available from the Ulysses SWICS experiment in COHO directory ULYSSES/PLASMA/SWICS. 2/8/95 JFC BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please use the Ulysses SEDR data in ULYSSES/TRAJ/SEDR with caution and report any problems to jcooper@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov . These data files have not yet been validated at NSSDC amd may possibly not be usable due to copy errors. This will corrected shortly. JFC/02-07-95 BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Ulysses in-ecliptic data for the spacecraft ephemerides and from the magnetometer and solar wind plasma experiments have recently been staged onto COHO for ingest into the NSSDC archive. These data are located respectively in subdirectories ULYTRJ, ULYMAG, and ULYPLA (ion and electron data in lower subdirectories), respectively. All except the ephemeris data are in ASCII format. Data from other Ulysses experiments will be staged to COHO from the proprietary Ulysses Data System at ESTEC in the near future. JFC/01-23-95 BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A few glitches were reported by Joe Fainberg (NASA GSFC) in the Ulysses ephemeris data file anon_dir:[coho.ulytrj]ulytrja.dat for days 94/190 - 94/225. The data file has been regenerated and these glitches (of unknown origin) have disappeared. Please report any other such problems to nssdca::jcooper. JFC/07-22/94 BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Although many users need heliographic spacecraft coordinates with latitudes calculated with respect to the solar equator, some may not want Carrington longitudes which are in a system fixed to the rotating Sun. Inertial longitudes are defined with respect to the ascending node of the solar equator on the Ecliptic; this node was at solar ecliptic longitude +74.367 degrees as of 1 Jan. 1900 at 1200 UT and its longitude increases by 1.4 degrees per century due to precession of the equinoxes in the solar ecliptic system. Heliographic inertial longitudes have been added to the trajectory data files in COHO for all missions except Helios 1/2 and Pioneer Venus Orbiter; these latter missions will be done later. JFC/11-16-93 BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! August 12 is the fifteenth anniversary of the launching of ISEE-3, now known as ICE. JFC/08-10-93 BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The Ulysses project today announced that Ulysses has overtaken Voyager 1 in maximum heliographic latitude at 32 degrees (South) enroute to its upcoming 1994 crossing of the southern solar polar region of the heliosphere. See ULYSSES/MISC/ULYSSES_HIGH_LAT.TXT for further details. JFC/06-14-93 BULLETIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! As of today, Ulysses is at 30 degrees south of the solar heliographic equator. Ulysses will overtake Voyager 1 in southern heliographic (S-HG) latitude on about June 8 (day 159) at 32.3 degrees (S-HG). Last year on August 22-23, 1992 Ulysses earlier passsed the maximum heligraphic latitude of 15.8 deg. (N-HG) reached by Pioneer 11 on days 204-205, 1976. JFC/04-27-93
