INTEGRAL FK files
===========================================================================

   This ``aareadme.txt'' file describes the contents of the kernels/fk
   directory of the INTEGRAL SPICE Kernel Dataset.

   It was last modified on February 9, 2022 by Alfredo Escalante ESAC/ESA.


Brief Summary
--------------------------------------------------------

   This directory contains the SPICE Frames Definition Kernel files for the
   INTEGRAL spacecraft, its structures, and science instruments, as well as
   for the Ground Earth Stations. Moreover, it contains frame definitions for
   science operations and for data analysis and scientific investigations.


File naming conventions
--------------------------------------------------------

   The following table provides information on which file contains which
   frames, their file naming conventions and some particular details:

     ---------------------------  -----------------------------------------
      earthfixediau.tf             Makes the IAU_EARTH coincide with
                                   the Earth fixed reference frame.

      estrack_vNN.tf               ESA Ground Stations topocentric frames.

      earth_topo_050714.tf         NASA DSN Ground Stations topocentric
                                   frames.

      integral_vNN.tf              INTEGRAL spacecraft, structures,
                                   instruments and sensors frames.

                    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
--------------------------------------------------------

  earthfixediau.tf

      SPICE FK file that makes the IAU_EARTH frame coincide with the Earth
      fixed reference frame.


   estrack_vNN.tf

      SPICE FK file that provides topocentric frames for the ESA Ground
      Stations. Created by the ESA SPICE Service.


   earth_topo_050714.tf

      SPICE FK kernel for the topocentric reference frames for the Deep Space
      Network (DSN) stations. This kernel was released on the date indicated
      in the filename.


   integral_vNN.tf

      SPICE FK file that provides INTEGRAL spacecraft, structures, instruments
      and sensors frames. Created by the ESA SPICE Service.
