Mars Pathfinder NAIF ID Codes and Frame Names
===============================================================================

Abstract
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   This document containing a list of NAIF ID codes and names for the lander 
   and its various structures and frames associated with them. 


MPF NAIF ID codes
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The following numeric ID codes were assigned to Mars Pathfinder and its 
   instruments and structures:

      ID CODE   NAME                DESCRIPTION
      -------   -----------------   ----------------------------------------
      -53       MPF                 Mars Pathfinder Lander (this code also 
                                    designates the origin of lander frame 
                                    and local level frame)
      
      -53998    MPF LANDING SITE    MPF Landing site location (this code 
                                    also designates the origin of the  
                                    surface-fixed frame)
      
      -53001    MPF IMP             MPF Camera (IMP) (this code also 
                                    designates the intersection of camera  
                                    azimuth andelevation axes and is the IMP 
                                    origin of thecamera head frame)
      
      -53500    MPF ASI/MET         MPF ASI/MET instrument (this code also 
                                    designates the location of the MET mast 
                                    hinge)
                              
      -53700    MPF ROVER           MPF Rover or Sojourner (this code also 
                                    designates the origin of the rover frame)
                        
   These ID codes were used in various SPICE files included in this data 
   set and, therefore, should be used to access the data via SPICE toolkit
   routines.


MPF Coordinate Frames
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   The following frames were defined for Mars Pathfinder and assigned with 
   the names and ID codes:

      ID CODE   NAME                DESCRIPTION
      -------   -----------------   ----------------------------------------
      -53999    MPF_LOCAL_LEVEL     Local level frame at the lander location
      
      -53998    MPF_SURFACE_FIXED   Surface fixed frame at the landing site
      
      -53000    MPF_LANDER          Lander fixed Frame 
      
      -53001    MPF_IMP             IMP camera head frame

   These names and codes were used in various SPICE files included in this 
   data set and, therefore, should be used to access the data via SPICE 
   toolkit routines.
   
   These frames are defined in the MPF Frame Definitions Kernel file.
