Galileo HIC Experiment Data Record (EDR) Overview
Galileo HIC Experiment Data Record (EDR) Overview
Heavy Ion Counter data in EDR format were used during the early stages of the Galileo mission, from launch through the Earth 2 encounter. EDR data were originally carried on IBM magnetic tapes but now archived on CD-ROM (NASA Galileo HIC Vol. ID: GOHI_0001).
A HIC EDR file consists of alternating AACS and HIC data records. Each contain a standard EDR header and a subheader containing engineering data. Table 1 contains the block diagram for a HIC EDR data record, which is similar to the AACS record with exception to its length (AACS records are 2252 bytes in length, while HIC records are 1176 bytes).
