DAWN SCLK files. =========================================================================== This ``aareadme.txt'' file describes contents of the kernels/sclk directory of the DAWN SPICE data server.

Brief summary -------------------------------------------------------- This directory contains the SPICE SCL-Kernel files for the DAWN spacecraft on-board clock. All files are in IEEE text format and must be copied using ftp ASCII transfer to any non-UNIX workstation. The following files are present in this directory. (Only file names are shown; the file name extensions of the text SCLK files are always ``.tsc''): DAWN_203_SCLKSCET_VVVVV ``Actual'' DAWN Spacecraft clock coefficients Kernel (SCLK) file(s), providing DAWN on-board clock correlation based on time correlation data from telemetry. DAWN_203_PSCLKSCET_VVVVV ``Nominal'' DAWN Spacecraft clock coefficients Kernel (SCLK) file, providing DAWN on-board clock correlation based on the assumption that the clock runs synchronously with TDT. Both types of files are generated by converting corresponding SCLKvSCET files produced by DSMS Time Service to SPICE SCLK format using MAKCLK SPICE Utility program. These files are created/delivered every time when a new SCLKvSCET file is delivered (usually once every two-four weeks for the actual SCLK files and once at the beginning of the mission for nominal SCLK files.) If multiple versions of an SCLK file are provided, always use the latest version (unless earlier version is needed for some special reasons.)
