Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter Cruise SPK file, MRO NAV Solution =========================================================================== Created by Boris Semenov, NAIF/JPL, September 15, 2006 Objects in the Ephemeris -------------------------------------------------------- This file contains ephemeris data for the Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter (MRO) spacecraft. The NAIF ID code for MRO is -74. Approximate Time Coverage -------------------------------------------------------- This file covers the whole cruise phase of the MRO mission plus the latter part of launch and the Mars Orbit Insertion (MOI): COVERAGE BEGIN TIME (TDB): 2005 AUG 12 12:41:56.000 COVERAGE END TIME (TDB): 2006 MAR 10 22:10:10.000 Status -------------------------------------------------------- This file was created by merging SPK files produced by MRO NAV during Cruise phase of the mission. The file was created by NAIF for archiving with the Planetary Data System (PDS). Pedigree -------------------------------------------------------- The original SPK files used to create this file were officially delivered to the MRO project data base (DOM) by the MRO NAV team. These files were merged together using the SPKMERGE program. The Appendix 1 of these comments contains the SPKMERGE log showing the original file names and coverages extracted from them. Usage -------------------------------------------------------- This file should be used together with DE410 planetary ephemeris since the original SPK files contained subsets of these particular ephemeris in them.
