KPL/SCLK Gaia FICTIONAL Spacecraft SCLK File =========================================================================== This file is a SPICE spacecraft clock (SCLK) kernel containing information required for the Gaia spacecraft on-board clock to UTC conversion. This file contains the data necessary for converting from ET to ticks for the FICTIONAL Gaia spacecraft clock (clock ID code 123) This is intended to be used for predicted data. These orientation data (CK) will be generated using this fictional spacecraft clock kernel. Usage -------------------------------------------------------- This file must be loaded into the user's program by a call to the FURNSH subroutine CALL FURNSH ( 'this_file_name; ) -- FORTRAN furnsh_c ( "this_file_name" ); -- C cspice_furnsh, 'this_file_name' -- IDL cspice_furnsh( 'this_file_name' ) -- MATLAB spiceypy.furnsh( 'this_file_name' ) -- PYTHON in order to use the SPICELIB SCLK family of subroutines to convert MPO_SPACECRAFT spacecraft on-board clock to ET and vice versa. SCLK Format -------------------------------------------------------- The on-board clock, the conversion for which is provided by this SCLK file, consists of two fields: SSSSSSSSSS.FFFFF where: SSSSSSSSSS -- count of on-board seconds FFFFF -- count of fractions of a second with one fraction being 1/65536 of a second; normally this field value is within 0..65536 range.

For all time, the clock runs at the same rate as TDB. There is only one partition for this clock. \begindata SCLK_KERNEL_ID = ( @2019-10-30/00:00:00.000000 ) SCLK_DATA_TYPE_123 = ( 1 ) SCLK01_TIME_SYSTEM_123 = ( 2 ) SCLK01_N_FIELDS_123 = ( 2 ) SCLK01_MODULI_123 = ( 4294967296 65536 ) SCLK01_OFFSETS_123 = ( 0 0 ) SCLK01_OUTPUT_DELIM_123 = ( 1 ) SCLK_PARTITION_START_123 = ( 0.0000000000000E+00 ) SCLK_PARTITION_END_123 = ( 2.8147497671065E+14 ) SCLK01_COEFFICIENTS_123 = ( 0.0000000000000E+00 @2013-12-19T12:15:00.000 1.0000000000000E+00 ) \begintext End of SCLK file.
