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

   This directory contains the JUICE SOC Star Catalogue files. These files
   contain the coordinates in RA/Dec of each of the Stars used by UVS for
   their "stellar occultation" observations.

   Please note that these files are not standard SPICE kernel files and have
   a format used by different JUICE SOC internal tools. The files simply
   provide a set of variables that are read into the SPICE Kernel Pool.
