MER-A SCLK File
===========================================================================
 
     This file is a SPICE spacecraft clock (SCLK) kernel containing
     information required for MER-A spacecraft on-board clock to UTC
     conversion.
 
 
Production/History of this SCLK file
--------------------------------------------------------
 
     This file was generated by the NAIF utility program MAKCLK, version
     3.5.2, from the most recent MER-A spacecraft SCLKvSCET file (see
     corresponding section of the description for the SCLKvSCET SFDU header
     and MAKCLK setup file).
 
 
Usage
--------------------------------------------------------
 
     This file must be loaded into the user's program by a call to the
     FURNSH subroutine
 
          CALL FURNSH( 'this_file_name' )
 
     in order to use the SPICELIB SCLK family of subroutines to convert
     MER-A spacecraft on-board clock to ET and vice versa.
 
 
SCLK Format
--------------------------------------------------------

     The on-board clock, the conversion for which is provided by this SCLK
     file, consists of two fields:

          SSSSSSSSSS:FFF

     where:

          SSSSSSSSSS -- count of on-board seconds

          FFF        -- count of fractions of a second with one fraction
                        being 1/256 of a second

     and nominally starts at the J2000 epoch (2000 JAN 01 12:00 ET).
