General information about SPICE E-kernels
=========================================

   The purpose of the EPOXI Events (E) -kernel (EK) is to store
   instrument and spacecraft commands and status information.

   The means of accessing the EK data are provided via a collection of
   subroutines that are part of the SPICELIB library, the major
   component of the NAIF Toolkit, or via the SPICE system utility
   programs, such as INSPEKT. The subroutines can be integrated into a
   user's application program while the INSPEKT program can be used to
   view E-kernel information interactively. Information about obtaining
   the SPICE Toolkit is located in the "software" subdirectory of the
   main directory of this dataset.

   To use E-kernels with the INSPEKT program, a SPICE Leapseconds (LSK)
   kernel is required.

   For general information regarding E-Kernels, refer to the EK
   Required Reading (ek.req) and inspekt.ug documents provided with the
   Toolkit or available from the NAIF Node of the PDS.
