References -------------------------------------------------------- 1. ``Preliminary I-kernel Specification,'' (NAIF document number 177.0), by Ian Underwood, 1/19/90. 2. KERNEL ``Required Reading'' file. 3. ``Galileo Orbiter Flight Equipment: Configuration'' in GALILEO FUNCTIONAL REQUIREMENTS BOOK, JPL Document GLL-3-180C, 28 APR 1989. Implementation Notes -------------------------------------------------------- This file is used by the SPICE system as follows: programs that make use of the I-kernel must `load' the kernel, normally during program initialization. Loading the kernel associates data items with their names in a data structure called the `kernel pool'. The SPICELIB routine LDPOOL loads a kernel file into the pool as shown below. CALL LDPOOL ( 'GLL29001.TI' ) In order for a program or subroutine to extract data from the pool, the SPICELIB routine RTPOOL is used. See [2] for more details. Naming Conventions -------------------------------------------------------- All names referencing values in this I kernel start with the characters `INS' followed by the NAIF DDS instrument number ('-77' followed by the instrument subsystem reference number). This naming scheme is standard for all I-kernel files and was instituted to distinguish I-kernel data from other types of data that may also be loaded in the kernel pool. The remainder of the name is an underscore character, followed by the unique name of the data item. For example, the DDS boresight vector is specified by INS-77029_BORESIGHT The upper bound on the length of the name of any data item is 32 characters. If the same item is included in more then one file, or if the same item appears more than once within a single file, the latest value supersedes any earlier values. DATA -------------------------------------------------------- INS-77029_BORESIGHT is a unit vector parallel to the DDS boresight vector. This vector is expressed relative to the spacecraft Xr, Yr and Zr axes. \begindata INS-77029_BORESIGHT = ( 0.000, 0.866, -0.500 ) \begintext The DDS focal point is given at a position relative to the spacecraft Xr, Yr, and Zr axes in millimeters. \begindata INS-77029_FOCAL_POINT_POS = ( 0.00, 2189.23, -432.56 ) \begintext The DDS has a maximum acceptance angle. This angle is given in degrees off boresight axis. \begindata INS-77029_MAX_ACCEP_ANG = ( 70.0 ) \begintext Date on which the above data was entered into this I-kernel. \begindata INS-77029_DATA_ENTRY_DATE = ( @29-OCT-1990 ) \begintext Version The version number is always positive and given in the form V.X. V and X are incremented by following these rules: -- V is incremented by 1 when there is a structural change to an I-kernel. A structural change to an instrument kernel would be adding or deleting data items or changing the number of values associated with an existing data item. A structural change would also be assigning different units to values or changing the name of a data item. -- X is incremented by 1 only if pre-existing values are changed. \begindata INS-77029_VERSION = ( 1.0 )
