Usage of the SPICE Kernels for EXOMARS 16                               
--------------------------------------------------------                                     
                                                                                
     At least a basic knowledge of the SPICE system is needed in order to    
     use these kernels. The SPICE toolkit provides versions in Fortran       
     (SPICELIB), C (CSPICE), IDL (icy) and Matlab (mice), and the user can   
     choose any one that suits him/her.                                      
                                                                             
     The SPICELIB routine FURNSH, CSPICE function furnsh_c, and icy routine  
     cspice_furnsh load a kernel file into the kernel pool as shown below.   
                                                                             
        CALL FURNSH  ( 'kernel_name' )                                       
        furnsh_c     ( "kernel_name" );                                      
        cspice_furnsh, 'kernel_name'                                         
        cspice_funsh( 'kernel_name' );                                       
                                                                             
     In the case when two or more files contain data overlapping in time     
     for a given object, for binary kernels, the file loaded last takes      
     precedence.                                                             
                                                                             
     If two (or more) text kernels assign value(s) using the '=' operator    
     to identical keywords, the data value(s) associated with the last       
     loaded occurrence of the keyword are used -all earlier values have      
     been replaced with the last loaded value(s).                            
                                                                                
                                                                                
-------------------
