The information in an LSK file can be manipulated in conjunction with other data using the 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. Refer to the ``time.req'' document provided with the toolkit to get more information about time conversions supported within the SPICE system. MRO LS-Kernels Contained in This Data Set ========================================= The following LSK files are provided in this data set (only name portion of the file name is shown; the extension of all LSK file names is ``.tls''): naifVVVV generic SPICE LSK files If this data set contains multiple LSK files, the one with the latest version (VVVV) supersedes all previous versions. Kernel File Details =================== The most detailed description of the data in an LSK file is provided in metadata included inside the description area of the file. This information can be viewed using any text editor program.
