Special Payload Unit 2 (SPLU-2) 

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

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 peripheral face with Tables 2 listing the impact sites whose field of views are facing the Anti-Sun directions. No Sun facing impacts were located due to sheilding of the MLI

For flux calculations the peripheral data is the most pertinent.
