KPL/FK Topocentric Reference Frame Definition Kernel for DSN Stations ===================================================================== Original file name: earth_topo_260717.tf Creation date: 2026 July 17 01:15 Created by: Nat Bachman (NAIF/JPL) Introduction ===================================================================== This file defines topocentric reference frames associated with each of the DSN stations cited in the list below under "Position Data." Each topocentric reference frame ("frame" for short) is centered at the associated station and is fixed to the earth. Mathematically, a frame "definition" is a specification of the orientation of the frame relative to another frame. In this file, the other frame, which we'll refer to as the "base frame," is the terrestrial reference frame ITRF93. The orientation of a topocentric frame relative to the base frame relies on a reference spheroid (see "Data Sources" below). The z-axis of the topocentric frame contains the station location and is normal to the reference spheroid: the line containing the z-axis intersects the reference spheroid at right angles. The x-axis points north and the y-axis points west. Note that stations normally have non-zero altitude with respect to the spheroid. Loosely speaking, a topocentric frame enables computations involving the local directions "north", "west," and "up" at a surface point on an extended body. For example, the "elevation" of an object relative to the center of a topocentric frame is the object's latitude in that frame. The corresponding azimuth is the angle from the topocentric frame's x-axis to the projection of the center-to-object vector onto the topocentric frame's x-y plane, measured in the clockwise direction. The orientation of a topocentric frame relative to the base frame can be described by an Euler angle sequence. Let M be the rotation matrix that maps vectors from the base frame to a specified topocentric frame. Then M = [ Pi ] [ Pi/2 - LAT ] [ LON ] 3 2 3 where LON, LAT are the associated station's geodetic latitude and longitude. Note that the frame definitions below actually provide Euler angles for the inverse of M and use units of degrees, so the angle sequences are -1 o o M = [ -LON ] [ LAT - 90 ] [ 180 ] 3 2 3 See the Rotation Required Reading for details concerning Euler angles. Regarding the structure of this file ------------------------------------ The SPICE utility PINPOINT was used to create the topocentric frame specifications contained in this file. The comment file earthstns_fx_260717.cmt was used as an input to the PINPOINT run, and that file is automatically included by PINPOINT in the frame kernel it creates. Using this kernel ===================================================================== Revision description -------------------- This kernel is based on data from a single, current source: [1]. This kernel supersedes the kernel earth_topo_201023.tf The set of stations covered by this file has changed from that file as follows: Deleted stations (not present in current file): None. Added stations: DSS-23 DSS-33 Changed data: DSS-53 Planned updates --------------- Updates will be be made to keep this file in sync with updates to the source document [1]. Using this kernel ===================================================================== Kernel loading -------------- In order for a SPICE-based program to make use of this kernel, the kernel must be loaded via the SPICE routine FURNSH. If you are running application software created by a third party, see the documentation for that software for instructions on kernel management. See also "Associated frame kernels" and "Associated PCK files" below. Associated PCK files -------------------- For high-accuracy work, this kernel should be used together with a high-precision, binary earth PCK file. NAIF produces these kernels on a regular basis; they can be obtained via anonymous ftp from the NAIF server naif.jpl.nasa.gov or downloaded from the URL https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck/ The PCK is located in the path pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck The file name is of the form earth_000101_yymmdd_yymmdd.bpc The first two dates are the file's start and stop times; the third is the epoch of the last datum in the EOP file: data from this epoch forward are predicted. The file's coverage starts at a fixed date (currently chosen to be 2000 Jan. 1) and extends to the end of the predict region, which has a duration of roughly 3 months. The same location contains a file with identical contents and a fixed name: earth_latest_high_prec.bpc This file may be convenient for automated downloads. NAIF also provides a low-accuracy, long-term predict binary Earth PCK. See the file aareadme.txt in the location cited above for details. Associated SPK files -------------------- This file is compatible with the SPK files earthstns_fx_260717.bsp [reference frame: EARTH_FIXED] earthstns_itrf93_260717.bsp [reference frame: ITRF93 ] both of which provide state vectors for each station covered by this file. Most applications will need to load one of the above SPK files in order to make use of this frame kernel. Data sources ===================================================================== All data presented here are from reference [1]. Reference Spheroid ------------------ The reference bi-axial spheroid is defined by an equatorial and a polar radius. Calling these Re and Rp respectively, the flattening factor f is defined as f = ( Re - Rp ) / Re For the reference spheroid used by this file, the equatorial radius Re and inverse flattening factor 1/f are Re = 6378137 m 1/f = 298.2572236 These parameters may be used to convert station locations at the epoch 2003 JAN 01 TDB to geodetic coordinates matching those given in [1]. The reference spheroid is used for derivation of the topocentric frame orientation Euler angles used in this file. The PCK file listed as a PINPOINT input below defines Earth radii consistent with these parameters. This PCK is not provided by NAIF, but the PCK may be created from the following text by prefixing a backslash character to the begindata begintext strings in the lines below: KPL/PCK begindata BODY399_RADII = ( 6378.137, 6378.137, 6356.752314247833 ) begintext Users who create this file must be sure that the "ID word" KPL/PCK occupies the very first 7 characters of the file, and to add a carriage return at the end of the file. See the SPICE Toolkit documents "PCK Required Reading" and "Kernel Required Reading" for details of the SPICE text PCK format. Epoch ----- The epoch associated with these data is given by the source as "2003.0." The time variation of the data is slow enough so that specification of the time system is unimportant. However, in the creation of this file, the epoch is assumed to be 2003 Jan 1 00:00:00 TDB At this epoch, the station positions are as given below. The movement of the stations due to tectonic plate motion is taken into account in creation of the frame definitions used in this file: the center locations and orientations of the reference frames are associated with station locations extrapolated to the date 2026 July 17 00:00:00 TDB This extrapolation results in a small rotation of the frames relative to their orientations as given by the previous version of this kernel.

Velocity data ------------- Station velocities in Cartesian coordinates, with respect to the ITRF93 frame, are shown below. Reference epoch for plate motion: 01-JAN-2003 00:00 Plate motion model, m/year X Y Z Goldstone: Stations numbered 1X & 2X -0.0180 0.0065 -0.0038 Canberra: Stations numbered 3X & 4X -0.0335 -0.0041 0.0392 Madrid: Stations numbered 5X & 6X -0.0100 0.0242 0.0156 Accuracy -------- Location uncertainties at the 1 sigma level, for cylindrical coordinates, are given by Table 7 of reference [1]. Table 7 note: The numbers in this table represent the uncertainties in location at the time of VLBI measurements. In the years since the measurements, a number of occurrences have conspired to increase the uncertainties to as much as 0.1 meter, 1-sigma. This is due to events such as the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake, which affected Goldstone at the level of several centimeters, as well as uncertainty in tectonic plate velocities integrating up over the years. The DSS-33 uncertainty is for an estimated location. References ---------- The data provided here are taken from the DSN document [1] "301 Coverage and Geometry." DSN No. 810-005, 301, Rev.

Station position vectors point from the earth's barycenter to the stations. Station velocities are estimates of the derivatives with respect to time of these vectors; in this file, velocities are constant. Station velocities have magnitudes on the order of a few cm/year. The states in this file are given relative to the terrestrial reference frame ITRF93. In the interest of flexibility, in this file the reference frame is labeled with the alias 'EARTH_FIXED'. Any application using this file must map the alias 'EARTH_FIXED' to either 'ITRF93' or 'IAU_EARTH'. See the discussion below under "Reference frame alias" for details. This SPK file has a companion file earthstns_itrf93_260717.bsp which differs from this one only in that it uses the reference frame name 'ITRF93'. For high-accuracy work, the companion file is recommended (on the basis of ease of use). Revision description -------------------- This kernel contains data from a single, current source: [1]. This kernel supersedes the kernels earthstns_fx_201023.bsp dss_23_placeholder_itrf93_201017.bsp The set of stations covered by this file has changed from that of the file earthstns_fx_201023.bsp as follows: Deleted stations (not present in current file): None. Added stations: DSS-23 DSS-33 Changed data: DSS-53 Planned updates --------------- Updates will be be made to keep this file in sync with updates to the source document [1]. Using this kernel ===================================================================== Kernel loading -------------- In order for a SPICE-based program to make use of this kernel, the kernel must be loaded via the SPICE routine FURNSH. If you are running application software created by a third party, see the documentation for that software for instructions on kernel management. See also "Associated frame kernels" and "Associated PCK files" below. Users requiring data from superseded SPK versions can load those files in addition to this one. In the case of conflicting data, data from SPKs loaded later take precedence over SPKs loaded earlier. Reference frame alias --------------------- This kernel uses the alias 'EARTH_FIXED' to designate the reference frame relative to which the data in this kernel are specified. In order for this kernel to be usable, the alias must be mapped to the name of a supported terrestrial frame. For high-accuracy work, the frame name 'ITRF93' should be used. In some situations, for example when low accuracy, long term predictions are desired, it may be convenient to map 'EARTH_FIXED' to 'IAU_EARTH'. To map the alias, an application must load a text kernel containing assignments as shown below. begintext Map 'EARTH_FIXED' to ITRF93. (To map to IAU_EARTH, substitute 'IAU_EARTH' for 'ITRF93' below.) begindata TKFRAME_EARTH_FIXED_RELATIVE = 'ITRF93' TKFRAME_EARTH_FIXED_SPEC = 'MATRIX' TKFRAME_EARTH_FIXED_MATRIX = ( 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 ) begintext See the Frames Required Reading for details. Associated PCK files -------------------- For high-accuracy work, this kernel should be used together with a high-precision, binary earth PCK file. NAIF produces these kernels on a regular basis; they can be obtained via anonymous ftp from the NAIF server naif.jpl.nasa.gov or downloaded from the URL https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck/ The PCK is located in the path pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck The file name is of the form earth_000101_yymmdd_yymmdd.bpc The first two dates are the file's start and stop times; the third is the epoch of the last datum in the EOP file: data from this epoch forward are predicted. The file's coverage starts at a fixed date (currently chosen to be 2000 Jan. 1) and extends to the end of the predict region, which has a duration of roughly 3 months. The same location contains a file with identical contents and a fixed name: earth_latest_high_prec.bpc This file may be convenient for automated downloads. NAIF also provides a low-accuracy, long-term predict binary Earth PCK. See the file aareadme.txt in the location cited above for details. Associated frame kernels ------------------------ The frame kernel having (original) file name earth_topo_260717.tf defines topocentric reference frames associated with each of the stations covered by this file. That kernel supports computations such as finding the azimuth and elevation of a target as seen from a specified station. Data sources ===================================================================== All data presented here are from reference [1]. Reference Spheroid ------------------ The reference bi-axial spheroid is defined by an equatorial and a polar radius. Calling these Re and Rp respectively, the flattening factor f is defined as f = ( Re - Rp ) / Re For the reference spheroid used by this file, the equatorial radius Re and inverse flattening factor 1/f are Re = 6378137 m 1/f = 298.2572236 The reference spheroid is not used for the creation of this SPK file but is used to create the associated frame kernel named above. Epoch ----- The epoch associated with these data is given by the source as "2003.0." The time variation of the data is slow enough so that specification of the time system is unimportant. However, in the creation of this file, the epoch is assumed to be 2003 Jan 1 00:00:00 TDB At this epoch, the station positions are as given below. Position data ------------- From [1]: Table 2.

Velocity data ------------- Station velocities in Cartesian coordinates, with respect to the ITRF93 frame, are shown below. Reference epoch for plate motion: 01-JAN-2003 00:00 Plate motion model, m/year X Y Z Goldstone: Stations numbered 1X & 2X -0.0180 0.0065 -0.0038 Canberra: Stations numbered 3X & 4X -0.0335 -0.0041 0.0392 Madrid: Stations numbered 5X & 6X -0.0100 0.0242 0.0156 Accuracy -------- Location uncertainties at the 1 sigma level, for cylindrical coordinates, are given by Table 7 of reference [1]. Table 7 note: The numbers in this table represent the uncertainties in location at the time of VLBI measurements. In the years since the measurements, a number of occurrences have conspired to increase the uncertainties to as much as 0.1 meter, 1-sigma. This is due to events such as the 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake, which affected Goldstone at the level of several centimeters, as well as uncertainty in tectonic plate velocities integrating up over the years. The DSS-33 uncertainty is for an estimated location. References ---------- The data provided here are taken from the DSN document [1] "301 Coverage and Geometry." DSN No. 810-005, 301, Rev.
