KPL/SCLK ExoMars2016 TGO Planning FICTIONAL SCLK File for by ESA SPICE Service =========================================================================== This file is a SPICE spacecraft clock (SCLK) kernel containing information required for Trace Gas Orbiter (TGO) spacecraft on-board clock to UTC conversion. This file contains the data necessary for converting from ET to ticks for the FICTIONAL TGO spacecraft clock (clock ID code 143999). This is intended to be used for predicted data that applies to the long and mid term planning processes. These orientation data (CK) will be generated using this fictional spacecraft clock kernel. After the data is generated a CK segment generated with the real TGO spacecraft clock (clock ID code 143) will be added that will map it in such a way that the data will be able to be used with the real TGO spacecraft clock. Production/History of this SCLK file -------------------------------------------------------- This SCLK kernel is intended to be used with CK files with structure IDs on board the spacecraft TGO_SPACECRAFT_PLAN. The NAIF ID code for TGO_SPACECRAFT_PLAN is -143002. Note that those CK files will then have a segment that will map the spacecraft TGO_SPACECRAFT_PLAN to TGO_SPACECRAFT. The NAIF ID code for TGO_SPACECRAFT is -143000. Usage -------------------------------------------------------- This file must be loaded into the user's program by a call to the FURNSH subroutine CALL FURNSH ( 'this_file_name; ) -- FORTRAN furnsh_c ( "this_file_name" ); -- C cspice_furnsh, 'this_file_name' -- IDL cspice_furnsh( 'this_file_name' ) -- MATLAB spiceypy.furnsh( 'this_file_name' ) -- PYTHON in order to use the SPICELIB SCLK family of subroutines to convert TGO_SPACECRAFT spacecraft on-board clock to ET and vice versa. SCLK Format -------------------------------------------------------- The on-board clock, the conversion for which is provided by this SCLK file, consists of two fields: SSSSSSSSSS:FFFFF where: SSSSSSSSSS -- count of on-board seconds FFFFF -- count of fractions of a second with one fraction being 1/65536 of a second; normally this field value is within 0..65536 range.

Thus 1/288929292.8201 simply represents the epoch that occurs 288929292.8201 TDB seconds past the ET epoch 2016-MAR-13 21:35:21.378. For all time, the clock runs at the same rate as TDB. There is only one partition for this clock. \begindata SCLK_KERNEL_ID = ( @2018-02-15/10:17:16.591000 ) SCLK_DATA_TYPE_143999 = ( 1 ) SCLK01_TIME_SYSTEM_143999 = ( 2 ) SCLK01_N_FIELDS_143999 = ( 2 ) SCLK01_MODULI_143999 = ( 4294967296 65536 ) SCLK01_OFFSETS_143999 = ( 0 0 ) SCLK01_OUTPUT_DELIM_143999 = ( 2 ) SCLK_PARTITION_START_143999 = ( 0.0000000000000E+00 ) SCLK_PARTITION_END_143999 = ( 2.8147497671065E+14 ) SCLK01_COEFFICIENTS_143999 = ( 0.0000000000000E+00 5.1117692137800E+08 1 ) \begintext End of SCLK file.
