'former_versions' directories removed from kernel type sub-directories as requested by CaSSIS and NOMAD in the ExoMars 2016 SWT#12. Modified the presentation of Meta-kernels.

Appendix: Release History =========================================================================== January 10, 2017 v1.4.0 In order to facilitate a more one-to-one correspondance with SPICE Archives, following the advice from NAIF and in order to improve and make the meta-kernel management easier: earlier versions of files which have or have not been included in a meta-kernel will NOT be moved to the former_versions directory in the FTP as they used to. Instead all files will be kept in the directory and file management will be done solely via the meta-kernel. The former_versions directory will be kept to put files in there which have suffered file name change and which are also present in the kernel directory. This change is applied retroactively. This does not apply to the meta-kernel directory. The meta-kernel management has also been updated by removing the kernel specific to a dataset release for it creates confusion. Small update in TGO FK. October 19, 2016 v1.3.0 The meta-kernel publication strategy as been slightly modified. The meta-kernels that were published in the following directory: ftp://spiftp.esac.esa.int/data/SPICE/ExoMars2016/misc/ops_mk/ are now published directly on ftp://spiftp.esac.esa.int/data/SPICE/ExoMars2016/kernels/mk/ and its format has been slightly changed as specified in the readme file present in that An unexpected EDM EDL trajectory has been added for EDM support. September 28, 2016 v1.2.1 This release has been motivated by all the feedback and corrections that the instrument teams and the EDM personnel have provided to the ESA SPICE Service during the ExoMars 2016 Science Working Team Meeting #11. The NOMAD Flip Mirror CK kernel has been updated such that its commentaries reflect the renamed TGO_NOMAD_LNO_SCAN frame to TGO_NOMAD_LNO_FMM. The NOMAD CK file has been renamed by excluding the reference to 'scp' since there is only one CK based frame there is no need to indicate the component in the filename. A defalult CK file for NOMAD has been created in order to be able to use the TGO_NOMAD_LNO FOV definition. The FREND FoV definitions have been simplified. A default CK file for ACS has been created in order to be able to use the TGO_ACS_TIRVIM FoV definition. The ACS FOV parameters have been corrected as well. The EDM frames kernel has been updated by adding the reference frames that will be used by AMELIA for attitude propagation and reconstruction. The DECA Camera frame has been added and the corresponding IK file has been created. Two CK files have been generated for the EDM mission timeline. The ExoMars 2016 directory in the SPICE FTP has been renamed from 'EM16' to 'ExoMars2016' following an agreement by the SPICE User Group (Mission names aligned with the ones used by the Planetary Science Archive). September 9, 2016 v1.1.1 B.Geiger spotted a mistake in the SCLK filename: em16_tgo_step_20160907.tsc; the date at the end of the filename was the SCLK creation date and not the UTC date of the last TCP. This has been corrected along with the corresponding CK. Taking advantage of this a new strategy for the meta-kernels has been put in place which includes switching to a three version digit to make them correspond with the SPICE dataset release and an additional one version-independent (which will be versioned anyway under the SPICE_EM16 Git repository), which will be updated after every run of the SPICE operational pipeline such that there is a reference to the most up-to-date kernels. The format of this Release Notes file has also been updated. September 8, 2016 v1.1.0 Corrected minor typos and text description in ACS IK. Corrected cross angle values for CaSSIS Filters' (TGO_CASSIS_*) FoVs since they were full angle instead of half angle. Corrected minor text typos in CaSSIS IK. Added meta-kernel for the WGC instance of ExoMars 2016. August 19, 2016 v1.0.0 First release of the ExoMars 2016 Operational Kernel dataset. The dataset includes the initial draft version of the kernels by ODC Space which includes the support that was provided to the ExoMars 2016 SGS during the NEC phase. This release also includes the support that was provided by the SPICE service during the MCC phase including the manual generation of SP- and C-kernels and the initial instrument missaligment provided by NOMAD and ACS. A review and validation of the kernels provided by ODC Space was also performed by Alejandro Cardesin, Bernhard Geiger and Marc Costa Sitja. The outcome of this review is the following: 1- EM16 TGO frames kernel (em16_tgo_v07.tf) 1.1- ACS MIR frame definition to be checked (Anton L.?) 1.2- CaSSIS boresight -80.11 rotation updated from -80.02 Could this be the cause of the observed missalignment? 1.4- TGO_NOMAD_LNO_SCAN is a flip mirror. Should the CK dependency be removed? A CK has already been created by ODC Space but it is questionable whether if it is required or not. 2- NOMAD instrument kernel (em16_nomad_v02.tf) 3.1- As in the TGO FK. Should the CK dependency be removed? 4- FREND instrument kernel (em16_frend_v02_draft.tf) 4.1- There are three FOV defined which are replicas of each other. The only difference is their origin and it is not modeled in the current implementation nor is expected to be included. Shall TGO_FREND_HE and TGO_FREND_SC be removed? Finally a first version of the EDM frames kernels and SPK files have been generated for this version. End of aareadme.txt
