<h2> Pioneer Venus Orbiter Ephemeris data at AMDA </h2>
<UL>
<li> Pioneer Venus Orbiter Ephemeris data are taken from the PDS (Planetary Data System)
<a href="http://ppi.pds.nasa.gov/index.jsp" TARGET=_BLANK>site</a>
<li> Available parameters :
<UL>
<li> <b>xyz_vso</b> : PVO spacecraft position in Venus Solar Orbital Coordinates (VSO): X is taken to be positive in the direction of the Sun measured along the Venus- Sun line. Y is taken to be positive in the direction opposing orbital motion (dusk) and lying in the orbital plane of Venus. Z is taken to be parallel to the pole of the Venus orbital plane and positive in the northward direction (upward normal). The units are given in Venus Radii where Rv = 6050 km.
<li> <b>r</b> : Venus - Spacecraft range.
<li> <b>altitude</b> : Spacecraft Altitude above the Venus surface. This value is computed by subtracting 6050 km from the centered Venus-to-PVO range given in the SEDR.
<li> <b>solar_zenith_angle</b> : This is the three body angle Sun-Venus-PVO taken from the SEDR.
<li> <b>lon</b> : Venus centered longitude.
<li> <b>lat</b> : Venus centered latitude.
<li> <b>xyz_spin_axis_vso</b> : Spin axis coordinates in VSO coordinates.
<li> <b>celestial_lon</b> : Heliocentric Celestial Latitude of the PVO spacecraft.
<li> <b>celestial_lat</b> : Heliocentric Celestial Longitude of the PVO spacecraft.
<li> <b>celestial_lon_earth</b> : Heliocentric Celestial Longitude of the Earth.
<li> <b>r_sun</b> : Sun - Spacecraft range.
