This data set contains GEOS-2 3D Positions in GSE system. This is a projection of the GEOS-2 orbit on the 3 planes of Geocentric Solar Equatorial system (GSE), i.e. X-Y, X-Z, and Y-Z planes. A 3-D perspective view is also added. Measured positions, given from auxiliary data, are plotted in blue, while corresponding estimated Kepler ellipse is plotted in green. The estimated Kepler parameters are computed from a fit with the experimental positions and a model. So, the values of apogee, perigee, semi-major and semi-minor axis could differ a little bit from one view to another one. Time ticks are used to locate the spacecraft at a given time.

Users of these data are encouraged to acknowledge ESA/ESTEC (European Space Agency / European Space Research and Technology Center), DSRI (Danish Space Research Institute), CNES (Centre National d'Etudes Spatiales) for their support to the SCM GEOS team, NASA/GSFC (National Aeronautics and Space Administration / Goddard Space Flight Center) and CNR (Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche) for their support to the MAG GEOS team, and the CDPP (Centre des Données de la Physique des Plasmas) for the distribution of the GEOS data, in all publications. If PI/coI are not part of the publication list, then we suggest to add Specifically, we acknowledge Roger Gendrin and Patrick Robert for use of SCM data from the GEOS mission.
