Meta-kernel for ExoMars 2016             
==========================================================================

   This meta-kernel lists the EXOMARS 2016 SPICE kernels providing 
   information for the full mission based on reconstructed, predicted, 
   test and optionaly, measured data.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------    

  The mission phases of the ExoMars 2016 mission are:

      Phase Name                    Acronym    Start Date   End Date   
     ----------------------------  ---------  ------------ ------------
      Launch and Early Orbit         leop      2016-03-14   2016-03-21  
      Near Earth Commissioning       necp      2016-03-22   2016-04-17  
      Interplanetary Cruise          icp       2016-04-18   2016-09-06  
      Mars Approach and MOI          mamp      2016-09-07   2016-12-19  
      Aerobraking                    ap        2017-01-04   2017-11-15  
      Primary Science                psp       2017-11-15   2019-11-15

   The current kernels cover the following mission phases: 

      EXOMARS 2016 TGO Flight Dynamics measured and predicted data (SPK and
      CK) for leop, necp, icp and partially mamp coverage:

         Start of Interval (UTC)             End of Interval (UTC)
         -----------------------------       -----------------------------
         2016-MAR-14 08:13:00.814            2016-OCT-21 15:51:24.948
 
      EXOMARS 2016 TGO Mission Analysis (SPK) and Science Operations
      Center (CK) test data for ap coverage:
      
         Start of Interval (UTC)             End of Interval (UTC)
         -----------------------------       -----------------------------
         2017-JAN-24 03:15:53.175            2017-DEC-04 17:08:12.192

      EXOMARS 2016 TGO Mission Analysis (SPK) and Science Operations (CK) 
      test data for psp and drp coverage:
      
         Start of Interval (UTC)             End of Interval (UTC)
         -----------------------------       -----------------------------
         2017-DEC-05 11:58:51.816            2023-JAN-15 11:58:51.816 

   If you want to use a CK with measured data you will need to load the
   following kernel:

      em16_tgo_sc_scm_20160314_20160719_s20160414_v01.bc

   This kernel covers the period:

         Interval Begin UTC                   Interval End UTC        
         ------------------------------       ----------------------------
         2016-MAR-14 20:27:23.369             2016-JUL-19 11:48:55.227 
 
   Reading the comments of the binary SPK and C-Kernels is very helpful to 
   understand the implemented SC position and orientation. You can use the 
   following NAIF command line utility to extract that information from the 
   kernels:

      > commnt -r em16_tgo_sc_*.bc

   The kernels listed below can be obtained from the ESAC FTP server:

Implementation Notes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------    

   It is recommended that users make a local copy of this file and
   modify the value of the PATH_VALUES keyword to point to the actual
   location of the EXOMARS 2016 SPICE data set's ``data'' directory on 
   their system. Replacing ``/'' with ``\'' and converting line 
   terminators to the format native to the user's system may also be 
   required if this meta-kernel is to be used on a non-UNIX workstation.

   DISCLAIMER: Pleae note that the current kernels are pre-operational 
   and they are subject to change.
