BOREAS Level-0 C-130 Navigation Data

Summary:

The level-0 C-130 navigation data files contain aircraft attitude and position information acquired during the digital image and photographic data collection missions. Various portions of the navigation data were collected at 1, 10, and 30 Hz. The level-0 C-130 navigation data collected for BOREAS in 1994 were improved over previous years in that the C-130 onboard navigation system was upgraded to output inertial navigation parameters every 1/30th of a second (i.e., 30 Hertz). This upgrade was encouraged by users of the aircraft scanner data with the hope of improving the relative geometric positioning of the collected images.
