Arecibo Location SPK and Topocentric Frame FK Files
=========================================================================
 
   Version 0.0 -- October 18, 2013 -- BVS/NAIF
 
 
Abstract
=======================================================
 
   This pair of SPK and FK files contains the location of and
   topocentric frame definition for the Arecibo telescope.
 
   The location coordinates are provided in the Appendix "Arecibo
   Coordinates" below.
 
   The topocentric frame is defined with +Z up, along the normal to the
   Earth ellipsoid with radii (6378.1366,6378.1366,6356.7519) provided in
   the PCK file ``pck00010.tpc'', and +X axis pointing toward north.
 
   These SPK and FK were made using PINPOINT. The keywords defining
   PINPOINT inputs are provided in the appendix "PINPOINT Inputs"
   below.
 
   Since both the telescope location and frame orientation are defined
   relative to the ITRF93 frame, a high precision Earth orientation PCK
   file providing the orientation of ITRF93 must be loaded together
   with these SPK and FK.
 
 
Arecibo Telescope and Topocentric Frame Names and IDs
=======================================================
 
   The names and IDs for the Arecibo telescope and the topocentric
   frame at its site are:
 
         <NAIF_NAME>  = 'ARECIBO'
         <NAIF_ID>    = 397001
         <FRAME_NAME> = 'ARECIBO_TOPO'
         <FRAME_ID>   = 397001

Appendix: Arecibo Coordinates
=======================================================
 
   From [1], the Arecibo cartesian IRTF2000 coordinates measured in GPS
   survey by Mike Nolan (Arecibo Observatory) and reported to SSD on
   2006-Mar-22 are:
 
      X =    2390487.5486 m
      Y =   -5564731.6533 m
      Z =    1994725.9337 m
 
   Although these XYZ coordinates are in IRTF2000, in these SPK and FK
   they are treated as coordinates in ITRF93, which introduces a
   sub-meter level error, which is below the uncertainty of the
   measurement.
