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 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 ``frames.req'' document provided with the toolkit to get
   more information about definition and usage of the frames within the
   SPICE system.


Stardust FRAMES Kernels contained in this directory
===================================================

   This directory contains the SPICE Frames Kernel files. The following
   files are present in this directory (only file names are shown; the
   file name extension of the text FK files is always ".tf"):

      sdu_vNN   Stardust Frames kernel files containing definitions for
                Stardust spacecraft, its structures and science
                instruments frames;

   If multiple versions of an FK file are provided, the latest version
   always supersedes all previous versions.


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.
