| Sector | 16 sectors per spacecraft rotation 22.5º of spacecraft rotation for Pspin = 23 min (nominal s/c period) 1 sector = 86.25 s |
| Subsector | 16 subsectors per sector ~1.406º of spacecraft rotation for Pspin = 23 min, 1 subsector ~= 5.391 s |
| Microsector | 16 microsectors per subsector ~0.0879º of spacecraft rotation for Pspin = 23 min, 1 microsector ~= 0.337 s |
- When spacecraft is in Spinning Mode, Pspin is calculated from the s/c attitude data (broadcast once per sec) and is valid for the next rotation period.
- When spacecraft is in Staring Mode, Pspin is read from a table.
