ExoMarsRSP FK files =========================================================================== This ``aareadme.txt'' file describes the contents of the kernels/fk directory of the ExoMarsRSP SPICE data server. It was last modified on January 11, 2023 by Ricardo Valles, ESAC/ESA. Brief Summary -------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains the SPICE Frames Definition Kernel files for the ExoMarsRSP Rover, Surface Platform and Carrier Module, its structures, and science instruments. File naming conventions -------------------------------------------------------- The following table provides information on which file contains which frames, their file naming conventions and some particular details: File Contents --------------------------- ----------------------------------------- emrsp_cm_vNNN.tf ExoMarsRSP Carrier Module, structures, instruments and sensors frames. emrsp_sp_vNNN.tf ExoMarsRSP Surface Platform, structures, instruments and sensors frames. emrsp_rm_vNNN.tf ExoMarsRSP Rover Module, structures, instruments and sensors frames. emrsp_dsk_surfaces_vNNN.tf ExoMars RSP Surface definitions for Digital Shape Kernels. where NNN version number -- three digits, incremental starting from zero (required). If multiple versions of a Frames Kernel file are provided, always use the latest version (unless earlier version is needed for some special reasons.) Current FK Kernels Set -------------------------------------------------------- emrsp_cm_vNNN.tf SPICE FK file that provides Carrier Module spacecraft and structures frames. Created by the ESA SPICE Service. emrsp_sp_vNNN.tf SPICE FK file that provides Surface Platform spacecraft, structures instrument and sensor frames. Created by IKI. emrsp_rm_vNNN.tf SPICE FK file that provides Rover Module spacecraft, structures instrument and sensor frames. Created by the ESA SPICE Service. emrsp_dsk_surfaces_vNNN.tf SPICE FK file containing surface definitions for the Digital Shape Kernels of Phobos, Deimos, Mars and the rover.
