KPL/IK HERA Thermal InfraRed Imager for Asteroids Instrument kernel ============================================================================== This instrument kernel (I-kernel) contains the Thermal InfraRed Imager for Asteroids (TIRA) optics, detector, and field-of-view parameters. Version and Date ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Version 0.0 -- September 6, 2019 -- Marc Costa Sitja, ESAC/ESA Initial release. References ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1. ``Kernel Pool Required Reading'' 2. ``C-kernel Required Reading'' 3. Hera Frames Definition Kernel (FK), latest version. 4. Hera Payload Interfaces, Issue 1.7, 14 June 2019. Implementation Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Applications that need SPICE I-kernel data must ``load'' the I-kernel file, normally during program initialization. Loading the kernel using the SPICELIB routine FURNSH causes the data items and their associated values present in the kernel to become associated with a data structure called the ``kernel pool''. The application program may then obtain the value(s) for any IK data item using the SPICELIB routines GDPOOL, GIPOOL, GCPOOL. Routine GETFOV may be used if the file contains instrument field-of-view (FOV) specification. See [1] for details. This file was created with, and can be updated with a text editor or word processor. Conventions for Specifying Data ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Data items are specified using ``keyword=value'' assignments [1]. All keywords referencing values in this I-kernel start with the characters `INS' followed by the NAIF HERA instrument ID code, constructed using the spacecraft ID number (-999) followed by the NAIF three digit ID number. The ID numbers are defined in [3] as follows: Instrument name ID -------------------- ------- HERA_TIRA -999200 The remainder of the keyword is an underscore character followed by the unique name of the data item. For example, the boresight of TIRA is specified by INS-999200_BORESIGHT The upper bound on the length of all keywords is 32 characters. If a keyword is included in more than one file, or if the same keyword appears more than once within a single file, the last assignment supersedes any earlier assignments. Overview ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TBD. Mounting Alignment ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Refer to the latest version of the HERA Frames Definition Kernel (FK) [4] for the TIRA reference frame definitions and mounting alignment information. Apparent FOV Layout ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section provides a diagram illustrating the TIRA apparent FOV layout in the corresponding reference frames. Pixel (0,0) is in the lower left corner of the image, and pixel (1024,768) is in the top right corner. +X, +Y, +Z axes are defined in the hera Frames Definition Kernel (FK) [3]. | 9.8 deg | Boresight (+Z axis) |<----------------->| is into the page | | 1024 pixels/line --- +-------------------+ ^ | | | | +Ztira | |7.4 deg 768 | x-------------> +Xtira | lines | | | v | | | --- (0,0)-------|---------+ Pixel | | v +Ytira Optical Parameters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TBD. CCD Parameters ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ TBD. FOV Definitions ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ This section contains definitions for the AFC FOVs. These definitions are provided in a format required by the SPICE (CSPICE) function GETFOV (getfov_c). The set of assignments in the data section below defines the AFC FOVs with respect to the corresponding frames to be a rectangle with the corners defined by the first and last pixels of the first and last lines of the CCD and the boresight along the +Z axis. This FOV definition uses the FOV_ANGULAR_SIZE values from the ``Optical Parameters'' section above converted to degrees.
