Original file name:  de418.bsp
Creation date:       Aug. 10, 2007

This SPK file contains the full set of ephemeris data from
the updated file de418.nio, which was released on August 3, 2007
by JPL's Guidance, Navigation, and Control section.
 
The DE418 planetary ephemeris is described in JPL IOM 343R-07-05,
released Aug. 2, 2007. The abstract of that memo states, in part,
that this ephemeris was "created for use by the New Horizons project
in planning for the 2015 Pluto encounter" and that this ephemeris
is "suitable for use by the Phoenix and other Mars projects."
The memo also states that this ephemeris "is the successor to
the previously released ephemeris DE414."
