This page provides the CERES Azimuth Position data files that define the PAPS sequences required to target the Alacante Anchor Station for 5 consecutive days. The PAPS data are derived from spacecraft orbital prediction files updated once per day. The computed RAZ values are based on the latest orbital predictions available.

Note: The CERES Terra instruments, FM1 and FM2, were launched on 19 December, 1999.
          These are designated as the "AM" instruments.
Note: The CERES AQUA instruments, FM3 and FM4, were launched on 4 May, 2002.
          These are designated as the "PM" instruments.
