Abstract

Data from the ICE probe to comet Giacobini-Zinner are analyzed to determine the effects of spacecraft rotation upon the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) for the two channels of data. In addition, long-term variations from sources other than rotation are considered. Results include a pronounced SNR variation over a period of three seconds (one rotation) and a lesser effect over a two-minute period (possibly due to the receiving antenna conscan).
