Detailed_Input

   handle      is the file handle of an SPK file that has been
               opened for writing.

   body        is the NAIF ID for the body whose states are
               to be recorded in the SPK file.

   center      is the NAIF ID for the center of motion associated
               with `body'.

   frame       is the reference frame that states are referenced to,
               for example "J2000".

   first,
   last        are the bounds on the ephemeris times, expressed as
               seconds past J2000.

   segid       is the segment identifier. An SPK segment identifier
               may contain up to 40 characters.

   epoch       is the epoch of equinoctial elements in seconds
               past the J2000 epoch.

   eqel        is an array of 9 double precision numbers that
               are the equinoctial elements for some orbit relative
               to the equatorial frame of a central body.

                  Note: The Z-axis of the equatorial frame is the
                  direction of the pole of the central body relative
                  to `frame'. The X-axis is given by the cross product of
                  the Z-axis of `frame' with the direction of the pole of
                  the central body. The Y-axis completes a right handed
                  frame.

               The specific arrangement of the elements is spelled
               out below. The following terms are used in the
               discussion of elements of `eqel':

                  inc  --- inclination of the orbit
                  argp --- argument of periapse
                  node --- longitude of the ascending node
                  e    --- eccentricity of the orbit
                  m0   --- mean anomaly

               eqel[0]   is the semi-major axis (A) of the orbit in km.

               eqel[1]   is the value of H at the specified epoch:

                            H =  e * sin( argp + node )

               eqel[2]   is the value of K at the specified epoch:

                            K =  e * cos( argp + node )

               eqel[3]   is the mean longitude at the epoch of the
                         elements measured in radians:

                            ( m0 + argp + node )

               eqel[4]   is the value of P at the specified epoch:

                            P =  tan( inc/1 ) * sin( node )

               eqel[5]   is the value of Q at the specified epoch:

                            Q =  tan( inc/1 ) * cos( node );

               eqel[6]   is the rate of the longitude of periapse
                         at the epoch of the elements.

                            ( dargp/dt + dnode/dt )

                         This rate is assumed to hold for all time. The
                         rate is measured in radians per second.

               eqel[7]   is the derivative of the mean longitude:

                            ( dm0/dt + dargp/dt + dnode/dt )

                         This rate is assumed to be constant and is
                         measured in radians/second.

               eqel[8]   is the rate of the longitude of the ascending
                         node:

                            ( dnode/dt )

                         This rate is measured in radians per second.

   rapol       is the Right Ascension of the pole of the reference
               plane relative to `frame' measured in radians.

   decpol      is the declination of the pole of the reference plane
               relative to `frame' measured in radians.

Detailed_Output

   None.

   The routine writes an SPK type 17 segment to the file attached to
   `handle'.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   1)  If the semi-major axis is less than or equal to zero, the
       error SPICE(BADSEMIAXIS) is signaled by a routine in the call
       tree of this routine.

   2)  If the eccentricity of the orbit corresponding to the values
       of H and K ( eqel[1] and eqel[2] ) is greater than 0.9, the
       error SPICE(ECCOUTOFRANGE) is signaled by a routine in the
       call tree of this routine.

   3)  If the segment identifier has more than 40 non-blank
       characters, the error SPICE(SEGIDTOOLONG) is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine.

   4)  If the segment identifier contains non-printing characters,
       the error SPICE(NONPRINTABLECHARS) is signaled by a routine in
       the call tree of this routine.

   5)  If there are inconsistencies in the `body', `center', `frame' or
       `first' and `last' times, an error is signaled by a routine in
       the call tree of this routine.

   6)  If any of the `frame' or `segid' input string pointers is
       null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER) is signaled.

   7)  If any of the `frame' or `segid' input strings has zero
       length, the error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING) is signaled.

Files

   A new type 17 SPK segment is written to the SPK file attached
   to `handle'.

Particulars

   This routine writes an SPK type 17 data segment to the open SPK
   file according to the format described in the type 17 section of
   the SPK Required Reading. The SPK file must have been opened with
   write access.

Examples

   The numerical results shown for this example may differ across
   platforms. The results depend on the SPICE kernels used as
   input, the compiler and supporting libraries, and the machine
   specific arithmetic implementation.

   1) Suppose that at a given time you have the classical elements
      of Daphnis relative to the equatorial frame of Saturn. These
      can be converted to equinoctial elements and stored in an SPK
      file as a type 17 segment so that Daphnis can be used within
      the SPK subsystem of the SPICE system.

      The example code shown below creates an SPK type 17 kernel
      with a single segment using such data.


      Example code begins here.

         The SPK type 17 segment will contain data for Daphnis
         (ID 635) with respect to Saturn (ID 699) in the J2000
         reference frame.
