The means of an access to the EK data are provided via SPICE Toolkit APIs, calls to which can be integrated into user application programs. The information regarding how to obtain the SPICE system toolkit for a number of languages and computer platforms is located in the ``/software'' subdirectory of the main directory of this data set. To use E-kernels with INSPEKT program, a Leapseconds (LSK) is required. Refer to the ``ek.req'' and ``inspekt.ug'' documents provided with the toolkit to get more information on how to access E-kernel data. MRO E-kernels Provided in This Data Set ======================================= As the MRO project did not produce any EK files, no EKs are included in this data set.
