Description of the issue

From @mstarkey2158

@pleasant-menlo We found a bug in the spin angle computation for the CoDICE data products. All of the instrument frame spin angles are off by 270 degrees. Also, the shift of 316 degrees to go from instrument to SC coordinates should be 46 degrees instead.

The following L3 products are affected by these two bugs:
l3b_hi-pitch-angle: Need to change SC offsest from 316 to 46 degrees when converting spin angle from instrument frame to spacecraft frame
l3b_lo-3d-vdf: Need to add 270 degree shift APD spin angle calculation. So new formula is:

  • theta_n = (n*15 + 277.5) mod 360
