Prototype Mars Express SPK File (based on STAT input data) ========================================================================= Created by Boris Semenov, NAIF/JPL, November 10, 2000 Objects in the Ephemeris -------------------------------------------------------- This file contains ephemeris data for the Mars Express (MEX) spacecraft. Since NAIF ID code for MEX has not been assigned yet at the time when this file was created, bogus ID code -999 is used in the file. Approximate Time Coverage -------------------------------------------------------- This file covers the following time span: Start of Interval (ET) End of Interval (ET) -------------------------------- -------------------------------- 2004 JAN 04 01:18:14.184 2007 OCT 08 15:31:50.182 Status -------------------------------------------------------- This file was created specifically to support Tom Duxbury's preliminary analysis needs. IT MUST NOT BE USED BY ANYBODY ELSE FOR ANY OTHER PURPOSE WITHOUT CONTACTING THE FILE PRODUCER. Pedigree -------------------------------------------------------- This file was created from data in the STAT tool input data files provided by Rene Pischel, DLR on October 19, 2000. The following steps were followed in the process of creating this file: -- STAT input files "longlatfile2.txt" and "orbitparam.txt" were merged together to obtain list time-tagged orbital elements; -- this SPK made from the list of time tagged elements data using MKSPK program.
