\begintext PCK kernel for the topocentric coordinate transform for the Deep Space Network (DSN) stations. This kernel must be loaded to perform to return state vectors in the local topocentric frame. 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. Antenna position data obtained from http://dsnra.jpl.nasa.gov/Antennas.html values taken from Geodetic coordinate table listed below.

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 describes a rotation from an initial 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 to the topocentric frame defined as z - normal to the surface at the site x - local north y - local west This is a 3-2-3 rotation with defined angles as the negative of the site longitude, the negative of the site colatitude, 180 degrees. Another useful rotation is from the initial frame to a topocentric frame defined as x - normal to the surface at the site z - local north y - local east This is also a 3-2-3 rotation with defined angles as the negative of the site longitude, the positive site colatitude, 0 degrees.
