PROCESSED DATA HANDBOOK
Orbit Count Text File
The Orbit Count Text File keeps tally of every orbit since mission start. It defines what orbit number CASSIOPE is on, the MJD2000 and Gregorian date, the time the orbit starts (north heading equatorial crossing), longitude of the orbit start and where the data was derived from.
