General information about SPICE FRAMES kernels
==============================================

   In the SPICE system, FRAMES kernel contains a set of information
   required to define various frames used in a particular mission,
   sources of orientation and origin location information for these
   frames and inter-connections between these frames and other frames
   supported within the SPICE system.
 
   The frame definitions information contained in the file can be
   utilized by a collection of FORTRAN 77 subroutines to provide
   correct interpretation for the SPICE data from SP- and C-kernels.
   These subroutines are part of the SPICELIB library. The SPICE system
   toolkit for a number of computer platforms or information regarding
   how it can be obtained is located in the SOFTWARE sub-directory of
   the main directory of this data set.
 
   Refer to the FRAMES.REQ document provided with the toolkit or
   available from the NAIF Node of PDS if SPICE toolkit is not included
   with this data set to get more information about definition and
   usage of the frames within SPICE system.
 

DS1 FRAMES Kernel contained in this directory
=============================================

   This directory contains the SPICE Frames Kernel files for the DS1
   spacecraft and its science instruments. All files are in IEEE text
   format and must be copied using ftp ASCII transfer to any non-UNIX
   workstation. The following files are present in this directory. (Only
   file names are shown; the file name extensions of the text Frames
   Kernel files are always ".tf"):
 
         ds1_v70      DS1 Frames kernel files containing definitions
                      for DS1 spacecraft, its solar arrays, antennas
                      and science instruments;


Kernel File Details
===================

   The most detailed description of the data in an FK file is provided
   in metadata included inside the description area of the file. This
   information can be viewed using any text editor program.
