They are described here for the benefit of users who may be interested in acquiring them separately. All NEAR geometry data are contained in a separate data set with 1 set per phase. These data sets contain geometry data in the form of SPICE kernels. The NEAR GEOMETRY datasets are grouped by phase as follows: Phase PDS Volumes ----------- --------------------------- CRUISE1 NGCRU1_0001 MATHILDE NGMATH_0001 CRUISE2 NGCRU2_0001 EARTH/FLY/BY NGERTH_0001 CRUISE3 NGCRU3_0001 EROS/FLY/BY NGERFB_0001 CRUISE4 NGCRU4_0001 EROS NGEROS_0001 - NGEROS_0004 EROS/SURFACE NGERSF_0001 The data sets contain: ---------------------- ik -- SPICE system for providing instrument orientation to spacecraft. ck -- SPICE system for providing attitude information for spacecraft and instrument platforms. ek -- EROS shape model kernels fk -- frames kernel directory. This directory is not used in NEAR lsk -- Leapsecond kernel for providing information to convert between UTC times and any other time system. pck -- Models used for rotations of solar system bodies and shapes (constants and matrices of planets and satellites). sclk -- Spacecraft clock kernel modeled against the time system TDT (Terrestrial Dynamical Time). spk -- NAIF ephemeris system - planet and spacecraft positions. plt -- SPICE plate model. grav -- gravity data.
