KPL/IK MAVEN Antennae Instrument Kernel =============================================================================== This Instrument Kernel (IK) file contains FOV parameters for MAVEN antenna instrument. Version and Date ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Version 1.0 -- April 24, 2014 -- Boris Semenov, NAIF References ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Kernel Pool Required Reading 2. GETFOV, getfoc_c, cspice_getfov headers 3. MAVEN FK file, latest version 4. MAVEN antennae FOV sizes, e-mail from Peter MacMillin, LMCO, April 20, 2015 Contact Information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Boris Semenov, NAIF, 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 MAVEN ID number (-202) followed by a NAIF three digit ID code for antenna or one of its detectors or components. This is the full list of names and IDs described by this IK file: MAVEN_HGA -202010 MAVEN_LGA_AFT -202040 MAVEN_LGA_FWD -202030 MAVEN_UHF -202020 The remainder of the keyword name is an underscore character followed by the unique name of the data item. For example, the -202010 boresight direction provided as a part of its FOV definition is specified by: INS-202010_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. Mounting Alignment -------------------------------------------------------- Refer to the latest version of the MAVEN Frames Definition Kernel (FK) [3] for the MAVEN structures reference frame definitions and mounting alignment information.
