Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
During the six years of operation of the Solar Mesosphere Explorer (SME), LASP's mission analysis system has determined the attitude of this spinner to 0.03° rms. Suggestions to improve future system designs to achieve more accuracy are given in terms of: 1) Thermal expansion control. 2) Reduction of eddy current drag. 3) Reduction of aerodynamic torques. 4) Averaging of horizon sensor data. 5) Use of a star scanner. 6) Commandable dynamic balance adjustments. Accuracy of 0.001° seems possible and will be discussed in the context of geomagnetic mapping.
