KPL/MK Meta-kernel for ExoMars 2016 dataset v1.3.0 -- Operational 20161103_001 ========================================================================== This meta-kernel lists the EXOMARS 2016 operational SPICE kernels providing information for the full mission based on reconstructed, predicted, test and optionaly, measured data. Usage of the Meta-kernel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- 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 Data Relay drp 2019-01-14 2022-12-31 The current kernels cover the following mission phases: EXOMARS 2016 TGO Flight Dynamics measured and predicted cruise and pre-aerobraking data (SPK): Start of Interval (ET) End of Interval (ET) ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 2016 MAR 14 08:14:09.000 2017 JAN 15 00:01:09.184 EXOMARS 2016 TGO Mission Analysis (SPK) and Science Operations Center (CK) test data for mamp 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 Science and Data Relay coverage: Start of Interval (UTC) End of Interval (UTC) ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 2017-DEC-05 11:58:51.816 2023-JAN-15 11:58:51.816 EXOMARS 2016 EDM Flight Dynamics (SPK) and Science Operations (CK) test data for the complete EDM mission timeline (Coasting, Entry-Descent-Landing and Surface Operations): EXOMARS 2016 EDM (-117) Start of Interval (ET) End of Interval (ET) ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 2016 OCT 16 14:43:08.182 2016 OCT 20 14:48:51.423 EDM_LANDING_SITE (-117900) Start of Interval (ET) End of Interval (ET) ----------------------------- ----------------------------- 2016 OCT 20 14:48:52.000 2100 JAN 01 00:00:00.000 If you want to use a TGO CK with measured data from the 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: ftp://spiftp.esac.esa.int/data/SPICE/ExoMars2016/kernels/ 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. ------------------- This file was last updated on Nov 3, 2016 by Marc Costa Sitja ESAC/ESA.
