Brief Summary
--------------------------------------------------------

   This directory contains the SPICE Spacecraft Clock-Kernel files for the
   EnVision spacecraft on-board clock.


File naming conventions
--------------------------------------------------------

   The naming scheme for EnVision SCLKs is:

        envision_TYPE_YYMMDD_vNN.tsc

   where

        TYPE     SCLK data type contained within the file:

                 fict:   ``fictional'' data;

                 stre:   SCLK created using a 'stretch' strategy, i.e. TCPs
                         are considered only the time they start to be
                         applicable, and then the correlation is made by
                         linking these points, i.e. not taking into
                         consideration the gradient and offsets provided
                         within the TCPs;

                 step:   SLKC created using a 'step' strategy, i.e.
                         additional TCPs are created between real ones in
                         order to match the time correlation provided by a
                         TCP packet N at 60 seconds before TCP packet N+1,
                         so that continuity is forced.

        YYMMDD   start time of applicability, i.e. either release date for
                 fictional SCLKs or date of the last TCP used to generate
                 the SCLK in stretch/step mode.

        NN       version number of the SCLK (with the same TCPs).
