The Hayabusa SPICE Data Archive
========================================================================


Introduction
============

   This document provides an overview of the Hayabusa SPICE data set,
   including a description of the directory structure. Additional
   documents included in this data set provide more details, especially
   the ``spiceds.cat'' dataset description and the various
   kernel-specific ``/data/*/*info.txt'' files.

   This data set contains navigation and related observation geometry
   and other ancillary data in the form of SPICE System kernel files
   for the Hayabusa spacecraft. See the file ``mission.cat'' in the
   ``/catalog'' directory for a description of the Hayabusa mission and
   the file ``insthost.cat'' in the same directory for a description of
   the Hayabusa spacecraft.

   The SPICE kernel files contain geometric and other ancillary
   information needed to recover the full value of science instrument
   data. Data in the SPICE kernel files must be accessed using the NAIF
   (Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility) software called the
   SPICE Toolkit. See the file ``softinfo.txt'' in the ``/software''
   directory for instructions on how to obtain this software.

   This data set is contained on a single virtual volume, HAYSP_1000,
   including data from the surveying and collection phase of the
   mission, covering from September 11, 2005 through November 19,
   2005.

   The majority of the data files included in this volume were copied
   in September 2008 from the Hayabusa Project Science Data Archive
   Information System (http://hayabusa.sci.isas.jaxa.jp) maintained by
   the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) of the Japan
   Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). A few more files were provided in
   October 2008 by Dr. Olivier S. Barnouin-Jha of the Johns Hopkins
   University, Applied Physics Laboratory (APL/JHU). The Itokawa
   ephemeris SPK file, officially provided to the project in May 2005
   by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) Solar System Dynamics (SSD)
   group led by Dr Donald K. Yeomans, was copied to the archive from
   the NAIF server in September 2009. Finally, in the course of
   data analysis for archive preparation in September-October 2009 NAIF
   used some of the JAXA and Dr. Barnouin-Jha's data to create a few
   additional kernel files, which, along with some generic kernels,
   also became part of this archive.


File Formats
============

   All text documents and other meta information files such as
   descriptions, PDS object definitions and detached PDS labels are
   stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line
   feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the record.  This allows the
   files to be read by MS-DOS/Windows, Unix and Mac OSX operating
   systems.

   The data files in this data set were prepared to be used under a
   UNIX environment. Therefore all SPICE text kernel files are UNIX
   text files, with a line feed character (ASCII 10) at the end of the
   line, and all SPICE binary kernels files are UNIX binary files in
   which bit pattern structures for double precision and integer
   numbers follow the IEEE standard. While some of the data files on
   this volume can be used 'as is', converting the files to binary or
   text format native to the user's computer may be required. Refer to
   the documentation provided with the SPICE Toolkit to find out
   whether conversion is needed in each specific case.

   NAIF provides a tool (BINGO) that can convert either binary or text
   kernels from one format to another. This means that text files can
   have their line terminator changed and binary files can be converted
   to the native format of the platform of interest. For access to this
   tool, see the reference to the NAIF utilities website in the file
   ``/software/softinfo.txt''.
