I read lot of questions about this issue, mainly: the stack code

So,I tried create a list plot with bar legend , using the following code:

    ListPlot[List /@ rad[[All, 1 ;; 2]], AxesOrigin -> {0, -90}, 
 DataRange -> {{0, 360}, {-90, 90}}, Frame -> True, 
 BaseStyle -> {FontFamily -> "Kartika", 12}, 
 FrameLabel -> {"RA (\[Degree])", "DEC (\[Degree])"}, 
 PlotStyle -> ({PointSize[0.002], ColorData["Rainbow"][#/85]} & /@ 
    rad[[All, 3]]), AspectRatio -> 1, 
 PlotLegends -> 
  Placed[BarLegend[{"Rainbow"}, LegendMargins -> {{0, 0}, {10, 5}}, 
    LegendLabel -> "Geocentric Velocity [km/seg]", 
    LegendFunction -> "Panel", 
    LabelStyle -> {Italic, FontFamily -> "Helvetica"}], Above]]

using the data:

a = RandomReal[360, {1000}];
b = RandomReal[90, {1000}];
c = RandomReal[90, {1000}];
rad = Transpose[{a, b, c}];

It worked fine, but the legendbar did not , it just does not appear, only the plotting.

What did I do wrong?

EDIT 1:

The new code with some suggested modifications:

 ListPlot[List /@ rad[[All, 1 ;; 2]], AxesOrigin -> {0, -90}, 
     DataRange -> {{0, 360}, {-90, 90}}, Frame -> True,  
     FrameLabel -> {"RA (\[Degree])", "DEC (\[Degree])"}, 
     PlotStyle -> ({PointSize[0.002], ColorData["Rainbow"][#/85]} & /@ 
        rad[[All, 3]]), AspectRatio -> 1, 
     PlotLegends -> 
      Placed[BarLegend["Rainbow", LegendMargins -> {{0, 0}, {10, 5}}, 
        LegendLabel -> "Geocentric Velocity [km/seg]", 
        LegendFunction -> "Panel"] Above]]

The resulting plot:

I used the actually data, more than 3.500 points with also negative declinations points (I preferred not using them in this question, as the final LegendBar would be the same using the sample of random data).

The plotting

And a complement question:

why is the range in bar not 0 -> 90.0?

    $\begingroup$ Please pare your code down to the minimal example that illustrates your problem. You don't need FontFamily -> "Kartika" for example. This will help us help you. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ The range is {0,90} now. I made the edit when I saw your earlier Comment, which now appears to be gone. $\endgroup$

The fix is a simple one. Replace {"Rainbow"} by {"Rainbow", {0, 90}} to produce
