5_Minute_Science_Gaps README

This file is a based on the 5 minute gap reports that were regularly reported by the Cassini project throughout the course of the mission.
This file is a combination of all gaps in science data (total science black-out) that were 5 minutes in length or greater.
Gaps in instrument housekeeping are not included; this is science data only.
This collection begins on January 1, 2004 and runs until September 15, 2017 (EOM).
The reports have been reformatted into the following tab-delimited columns:
GapID = This is reference number with the format of year and instance number (i.e. 2004001 is the first gap of 2004).
Start (SCET) = This is the gap start time in Spacecraft Event Time
End (SCET) = This is the gap end time in Spacecraft Event Time
Cause = The reported reason for the gap, if available.
