Payload Unit 2 

PLU-2 MLI was scanned and the image data analysed. No SSM data exists for PLU2.

The data presented is taken from measuring the impact from the best image magnification and a representative image accompanies the data. The MLI covers all the payload unit and as such only certain impact sites are located on the peripheral faces of SFU. To this end the tables below list the impact sites as a function of pointing direction (i.e. radial pointing direction out of SFU). Table 1 is the peripheralface with Tables 2 and 3 listing the impact sites whose field of views are not determined exactly but are generally facing the Sun and Anti-Sun directions.

For flux calculations the peripheral data is the most pertainent.
