PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = STREAM OBJECT = TEXT PUBLICATION_DATE = 2000-10-12 NOTE = "INFO.TXT describes the DATA/ANCIL directory contents." END_OBJECT = TEXT END This directory contains kernel files. The files in this group all are ASCII text files. Copies of these files also exist in the GEOMETRY directory on this disk. MAG_ER.TI, a SPICE MAG/ER instrument kernel containing a MAG/ER instrument mounting description. (JPL NAIF) MO_MAGS.KER, a magnetometer constants file used for conversion of telemetry. MO_OBJ.KER, a file that provides information about program variables used in preparation of the data. (GSFC MAG) PCK.TPC, a "planetary constants" (PCK) kernel file, which contains constants needed by NAIF subroutines which require body size, orientation, etc. (JPL NAIF) Any coordinate system transformation to body fixed or quasi body fixed coordinates consults this file. It will be altered from time to time as deemed necessary by NAIF. SCLK.KER, a spacecraft clock kernel file for the time period spanned by the data. (JPL NAIF) This is one of two files needed to convert spacecraft tics - the long binary word in the header, roughly equal to seconds past a specific date - to Universal Time. This file will change from time to time. LEAP.KER, a "leapseconds" file, contains time conversion data needed by NAIF subroutines. (JPL NAIF) This is a short file that contains a list of leapseconds, also needed to convert spacecraft tics to UTC. HGA.TF, a Frames Kernel file (FK), contains set of frame definitions for the Mars Global Surveyor High and Low gain antennas. (JPL NAIF) SC_MOD.KER, Spacecraft Magnetic Field Model File for Mars Global Surveyor (GSFC MAG) This directory also contains a detached PDS label for each of these files. The label describing a given file has the same filename as the file, but with the extension changed to LBL (for example, MAG_ER.LBL). Copies of the kernel files from this directory, and of their labels, also exist in the GEOMETRY directory. Users with Web browsers may access these copies of the kernels either directly or via links in the HTML file GEOMETRY.HTM in the EXTRAS directory. Such users also can navigate the entire disk using the file AAREADME.HTM in the disk root directory.
