Magnetic conjugation between two satellites


The geocentric angular distance between magnetic footprints of two satellites in the same time is considered as a criterion of the magnetic conjugations. The situation is identified, as a magnetic conjugation in case as the relative angular distance of the mentioned magnetic footprints is less then 5 deg.

The magnetic conjugation between arbitrary two satellites with short names 'x' and 'y' is selected by comparison of its magnetic footprints positions pre-calculated for both satellites during magnetic mapping.

The output file with name 'xy.cng' contains the information about X and Y satellites magnetic conjugations as a function of the Universal time.
For example, the numerical file with name 'ta.cng' contains the information about IB_TAIL and IB_AUR (AURORAL) magnetic conjugations.
