Important Event Times and Locations:
Event times given are either closest approach to a
targeted body or the central time of an MWG recording interval for a
magnetospheric observation (PSXing = plasma sheet crossing, QRS = quater
rotation survey, TAR = transauroral recording, C9 recording intervals
are designated by location along orbit and local time).
