Loading the kernel associates the data items with their names in a data structure called the "kernel pool". The SPICELIB routine FURNSH loads a kernel into the pool as shown below: FORTRAN: (SPICELIB) CALL FURNSH ( frame_kernel_name ) C: (CSPICE) furnsh_c ( frame_kernel_name ); IDL: (ICY) cspice_furnsh, frame_kernel_name MATLAB: (MICE) cspice_furnsh ( 'frame_kernel_name' ) PYTHON: (SPICEYPY)* furnsh( frame_kernel_name ) In order for a program or routine to extract data from the pool, the SPICELIB routines GDPOOL, GIPOOL, and GCPOOL are used. See [2] for more details. This file was created and may be updated with a text editor or word processor. * SPICEYPY is a non-official, community developed Python wrapper for the NAIF SPICE toolkit. Its development is managed on Github. It is available at: https://github.com/AndrewAnnex/SpiceyPy Ground Stations Frames ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The topocentric frame defines the z axis as the normal outward at the station site, the x axis points at local north (geographic) with the y axis completing the right handed frame. Positive azimuth is measured counter clockwise from the x axis. The equatorial radius and flattening factor for the ITRF93 reference ellipsoid are radius = 6378.1363 flattening = 1.0/298.257 Please note that all rotations mean the rotation of the coordinate frames about an axis and not of the vectors. The rotation defined in this file transforms vectors from the topocentric frame defined as z - normal to the surface at the site x - local north y - local west to an earth-fixed frame defined as x - along the line of zero longitude intersecting the equator z - along the spin axis y - completing the right hand coordinate frame This is a 3-2-3 rotation with angles defined as the negative of the site longitude, the negative of the site colatitude, 180 degrees. This file uses the reference frame alias EARTH_FIXED. In order to use this file in a SPICE-based program, the alias must be mapped to the frames ITRF93 or IAU_EARTH by a text kernel. An example of the text kernel assignments mapping EARTH_FIXED to ITRF93 is: TKFRAME_EARTH_FIXED_RELATIVE = 'ITRF93' TKFRAME_EARTH_FIXED_SPEC = 'MATRIX' TKFRAME_EARTH_FIXED_MATRIX = ( 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ) These assignments must be preceded by the \begindata marker alone on a line. See the Frames Required Reading for details. The ITRF93 frame should be used for high-accuracy work. A binary high-precision earth PCK file should be used to convert the station location from terrestrial to inertial coordinates. The data for the ground stations topocentric frames is defined as follows: Topocentric frame CEDUNA_TOPO The Z axis of this frame points toward the zenith. The X axis of this frame points North.
