KPL/IK LADEE NMS Instrument Kernel =============================================================================== This Instrument Kernel (IK) file contains the Field-Of-View (FOV) definitions for the Neutral Mass Spectometer (NMS) instrument. Version and Date ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 0.0 -- October 16, 2013 -- Boris Semenov, NAIF References ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Kernel Pool Required Reading 2. GETFOV, getfoc_c, cspice_getfov headers 3. LADEE FK file, latest version 4. STK Sensor files provided by Mark Shirley, 09/25/13. Contact Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boris V. Semenov, NAIF/JPL, (818)-354-8136, Boris.Semenov@jpl.nasa.gov Implementation Notes ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This file is used by the SPICE system as follows: programs that make use of this kernel must ``load'' the kernel, normally during program initialization. The SPICE routine FURNSH loads a kernel file into the pool as shown below. CALL FURNSH ( 'frame_kernel_name; ) -- FORTRAN furnsh_c ( "frame_kernel_name" ); -- C cspice_furnsh, frame_kernel_name -- IDL cspice_furnsh( 'frame_kernel_name' ) -- MATLAB Once the file has been loaded, the SPICE routine GETFOV (getfov_c in C, cspice_getfov in IDL and MATLAB) can be used to retrieve FOV parameters for a given instrument or structure. This file was created and may be updated with a text editor or word processor. Naming Conventions ---------------------------------------------------------- All names referencing values in this IK file start with the characters `INS' followed by the NAIF ID number for one of the NMS detectors: LADEE_NMS_CLOSED -12310 LADEE_NMS_OPEN -12320 These IDs are defined in the latest LADEE FK ([3]). The remainder of the keyword name is an underscore character followed by the unique name of the data item. For example, the NMS OPEN boresight direction in the NMS frame is specified by: INS-12310_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 than one file, or if the same item appears more than once within a single file, the latest value supersedes any earlier values. Instrument Description --------------------------------------------------------- Neutral Mass Spectometer (NMS) is a high sensitivity quadrupole mass spectrometer with a mass range from 2 to 150 Dalton and unit mass resolution. For lunar orbits of 50 km or lower NMS can detect helium, argon and other species either released from the deep lunar interior or from the surface of the moon. Mounting Alignment -------------------------------------------------------- Refer to the latest version of the LADEE Frames Definition Kernel (FK) [3] for the LADEE NMS reference frame definitions and mounting alignment information.
