Orientation constants for Comet 9P/Tempel 1
--------------------------------------------------------
 
     The inertial reference frame for these constants is J2000; this is
     the default reference frame for PCK orientation data.
 
     The epoch of the constants is J2000; this is Julian ephemeris date
     (JED) 2451545.0.
 
     The NAIF integer code for 9P/Tempel 1 is 1000093. See the NAIF_IDs
     required reading for further information on NAIF integer codes.
 
     The 9P/Tempel 1 rotation constants below were derived by Peter
     Thomas, Cornell University as the result of post mission analysis
     of Deep Impact data.
