This data set contains individual magnetic field data points on BCD magnetic tape created on a CDC 6600 computer. The records are unlabeled, with a maximum block size of 1280 characters. The logical record length is 45 characters (a 5-character "dummy" item is in each HEOS 2 record). The data consist of year, day of year, hour of day (0.001 h), spacecraft GSE coordinates, and GSE coordinates of the magnetic B-field (0.1 nT). Data set 72-005A-01E contains a reformatted version of this data set. Similar data from HEOS 1 are contained in data set 68-109A-02E.
