KPL/FK This placeholder FK contains updated definitions for RPWS electric antennae and for some supporting frames based on the information provided by Baptiste Cecconi, OBSPM, France. These frames will be integrated into the main CASSINI FK at a later time. BVS/NAIF, 07/23/18. RPWS Electric Antennae Frames ---------------------------------------------------------- From Baptiste Cecconi's e-mail from July 20, 2018: Here are the calibrated direction and length for the electric antennas of Cassini/RPWS/HFR. There are 4 effective antennas listed below. The calibrated antenna parameters are provided as a direction in spherical coordinate: colatitude (TH) and azimuth (PH) in the spacecraft frame Antenna Eu: TH = 108.300 deg PH = 17.0000 deg Antenna Ev: TH = 107.800 deg PH = 163.800 deg Antenna Ew: TH = 29.3000 deg PH = 90.6000 deg Antenna Ex: TH = 89.3000 deg PH = -0.600000 deg Antenna Eu, Ev, Ew and Ex are also respectively referred to as X+, X-, Z and Dipole in some publications.
