The pointing performance of Planck has been very good throughout operations.


This plot exhibits the pointing errors in Ecliptic longitude and latitude for the period .
This plot exhibits the pointing errors in Ecliptic longitude and latitude for the period .


The plot exhibits a correlation between the periodic component of the pointing error and the duration of the pointing. This suggests a Solar drift origin to this component.
