Overview
========
This archive includes the complete set of INSIGHT, MARCO-A, and
MARCO-B SPICE data files (kernel files), which can be accessed using
SPICE software. The SPICE data contain geometric and other ancillary
information needed to recover the full value of science instrument
data. In particular SPICE kernels provide spacecraft and planetary
ephemerides, spacecraft and instrument orientation, instrument
mounting alignments, and data needed for relevant time conversions.
Data in the SPICE kernel files must be accessed using the software
called the SPICE Toolkit produced and distributed by the Navigation
and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) Node of the Planetary Data
System.
This archive includes data covering from INSIGHT launch, 2018-05-05,
through the end time of the latest Instrument Deployment Arm (IDA)
orientation file supplied in the archive. Until the end of the
spacecraft lifespan this archive will be accumulating with new data
added according to the project archiving plan.

Errata
======
1. This document is a simple HTML document. Providing documents in a
simple mark-up format was allowed by earlier versions of the PDS4
Standards but became prohibited in later versions starting summer
2015. Since using HTML documents was compliant at the time when a
similar document was first provided in the MAVEN PDS4 archive and
since NAIF strives to make bundle description document format and
style consistent across all archives, this document continues
to exist in this archive as an HTML document.
2. All MARCO-A and MARCO-B kernels included in the archive
are labeled as being associate the INSIGHT instrument host.
3. No SCLK kernels the instrument clocks (LOBT and AOBT) are
provided or planned to be provided for.
4. No deflected IDC SPKs and CKs are yet included in the archive.
Some may be included in subsequent releases.
5. The IDC and ICC frames definitions provided in the INSIGHT mission
FK and their parameters provided in the corresponding IKs have
not been full validated and, if used to compute derived geometry
for these instruments, may produce results differing from the
same kinds of geometric parameters provided in the image labels.
6. The XML labels of the ancillary products have the reference_type
attribute of the Internal_Reference association within the
Reference_List class of the Context_Area class pointing to the latest
archive description document set to "ancillary_to_data" which is not
correct. The correct value "ancillary_to_document" could not be used
in these labels because it is not available in the PDS4 information
model (IM) 1.5.0.0 used by this archive. This value was added to IM
only in the version 1.14.0.0.
7. The Miscellaneous collection was only added to the bundle in the
release 10 (September 2021) and therefore the checksum tables and
collection inventories and their labels that correspond to previous
releases were added irregularly in that release. This is reflected
in the bundle label of that particular release that contains
additional Bundle_Member_Entry classes for these miscellaneous
collections.

Kernel Types
============
Different SPICE kernel types are used to store different kinds of
ancillary data.
SPK (Spacecraft Planet Kernel) files contain ephemerides (position
and velocity) for spacecraft, planets, satellites, comets and
asteroids as well as for moving or fixed spacecraft and instrument
structures. SPK files are located under the spice_kernels/spk
directory of this archive.
PCK (Planetary Constants Kernel) files contain certain physical,
dynamical and cartographic constants for target bodies, such as size
and shape specifications, and orientation of the spin axis and prime
meridian. PCK files are located under the spice_kernels/pck
directory of this archive.
IK (Instrument Kernel) files contain instrument parameters relevant
for computing an instrument's geometry such as field-of-view
definitions, CCD and optical distortion characteristics, and internal
timing parameters. IK files are located under the spice_kernels/ik
directory of this archive.
CK (C-matrix Kernel) files contain time varying orientations for
spacecraft, spacecraft structures, and articulating science
instruments. CK files are located under the spice_kernels/ck
directory of this archive.
LSK (Leapseconds Kernel) files contain the leapseconds and the
values of other constants required to perform a transformation
between Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) and Ephemeris time (ET),
which is also known as Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB). LSK
files are located under the spice_kernels/lsk directory of
this archive.
SCLK (Spacecraft Clock Kernel) files contain on-board clock
calibration data required to perform a transformation between
Ephemeris time (ET) and spacecraft on-board time (SCLK). SCLK files
are located under the spice_kernels/sclk directory of this
archive.
FK (Frame definitions Kernel) files contain information required to
define reference frames, sources of frame orientation data and
connections between these frames and other frames supported within
the SPICE system. The science instrument frame definitions provided
in the FK files include mounting alignment information for the
instruments. FK files are located under the spice_kernels/fk
directory of this archive.
MK (Meta-Kernel) files list sets of related SPICE kernels that
should be used together, providing an easy way to make data from
these kernel sets available to a SPICE-based application by loading
meta-kernels into the program using the high level SPICE data loader
routine FURNSH. MK files are located the spice_kernels/mk
directory of this archive.

MK Files
Meta-kernel (MK) files (a.k.a 'furnsh' files) provide lists of the
archived kernels included in this archive suitable for loading into
a SPICE-based application via the high level SPICE data loader
routine FURNSH. Using meta-kernels makes it easy to load with
one call a comprehensive SPICE data collection for a given period.
The text MK files are provided under the spice_kernels/mk
directory and are named according to the following scheme:
- INSIGHT whole mission MK files
insight_vVV.tm
when
VV is the version; the file with the latest
version supersedes all similarly named
files with earlier versions.
In addition, all meta-kernels also include keywords setting the
SPICE CHRONOS utility configuration parameters (spacecraft ID,
planet ID, landing UTC, landing SOL index, and Sun GM).
Although the meta-kernels were created such that on a UNIX
workstation they can be loaded into a SPICE-based application
directly from the directory in which they reside -- because the
PATH_VALUES keyword is set to '..' and '/' is used as the path
delimiter -- it is recommended that users make local copies of these
files and update the PATH_VALUES keyword in each of them to point to
the actual location of the archive's 'spice_kernels' directory on
their system. Additional changes including replacing '/' and '\' in
all path specifications and converting UNIX line terminators to
terminators native to the user's system may be required to use these
meta-kernels on non-UNIX workstation.
The following guidelines were followed to pick and set priority --
determined by the order in which the kernel files are listed, with
the latest one taking precedence -- for the kernel files included in
these meta-kernels:
- the latest archived versions of LSK, PCK, and each kind of
SCLKs, IKs, FKs, SPKs, and CKs (except for IDA and IDC CKs)
were included
- for IDA and IDC CKs, only latest encoder-based CKs were
included
Additional description of the kernels sets listed in a text MK file is
provided in metadata included inside the description area of the
file. This information can be viewed using any text editor program.

Miscellaneous Files
===================
Miscellaneous files provide value added elements that are outside the
scope of the PDS archive requirements. Miscellaneous files included in
this archive are currently limited to checksum files.
The subsection below provides details for these files.
Back to Table of Contents
Checksum Files
A checksum file provides a table of MD5 checksums for all files in the
archive as of a particular archive (bundle) version, including
checksums for all previous checksums files and their labels but
excluding the checksum for the checksum file itself and its label.
The checksum files are provided under the miscellaneous/checksum
directory and are named according to the following scheme:
- INSIGHT checksum files
checksum_vVVV.tab
where
VVV is the version; the file with the latest
version supersedes all similarly named
files with earlier versions and can be
used to validate the archive in its
entirety.
Back to Table of Contents
File Formats
============
All text documents, checksum files, and other meta information files
such as descriptions, detached PDS4 labels, and inventory tables, are
stream format files, with a carriage return (ASCII 13) and a line feed
character (ASCII 10) at the end of the records. This allows the files
to be read by most operating systems.
The text kernel files in this archive -- LSKs, PCKs, SCLKs, IKs, FKs,
and MKs -- are UNIX text files, with a line feed character (ASCII 10)
at the end of the line, and binary kernel files -- SPKs and CKs -- are
IEEE LSB binary files. While data files in this archive can be used
'as is' with SPICE toolkits for the majority of supported environments,
converting the files to the binary or text format native to the user's
computer may be required for use of the data with FORTRAN toolkits on
incompatible environments. 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. BINGO is available
from the utilities page at the NAIF Node of the PDS:
