| Description | The magnetic coordinates of the Pioneer 10 spacecraft and the five innermost satellites are reported for the Jupiter encounter. The D sub 2 offset is used to make the calculations. Magnetic coordinates are needed for the interpretation of the trapped particle measurements, including the absorption effects of the satellites. Contours of constant field magnitude and magnetic latitude are given at the surface of Jupiter for the D sub 2 model. The system 3 longitude of a spacecraft at Jupiter is derived, and formulas given for the relationships between system 1, 2, and 3 longitudes. The longitude of the magnetic dipole increases by about 3 deg per year, due to the inaccurate rotation rate used to define system 3 longitude. |
