Abstract

   Deprecated: This routine has been superseded by the CSPICE routine
   subslr_c. This routine is supported for purposes of backward
   compatibility only.

   Compute the rectangular coordinates of the sub-solar point on a
   target body at a particular epoch, optionally corrected for light
   time and stellar aberration.  The target body's surface is
   represented by a triangular plate model contained in a type 2 DSK
   segment. Return the sub-solar point's coordinates expressed in the
   body-fixed frame associated with the target body.  Also, return the
   observer's distance from the sub-solar point.

Detailed_Input

   handle      is the DAS file handle of a DSK file open for read
               access.  This kernel must contain a type 2 segment that
               provides a plate model representing the entire surface
               of the target body.


   dladsc      is the DLA descriptor of a DSK segment representing the
               surface of the target body.


   method      is a short string specifying the computation method
               to be used.  The choices are:

                  "Intercept"        The sub-solar point is defined as
                                     the plate model surface intercept
                                     of the ray starting at the Sun and
                                     passing through the target's
                                     center.

                  "Ellipsoid
                   near point"       The sub-solar point is defined as
                                     the plate model surface intercept
                                     of the ray starting at the Sun and
                                     passing through the nearest point
                                     to the observer on a reference
                                     ellipsoid associated with the
                                     target body.

                                     This option requires that the
                                     reference ellipsoid's radii be
                                     available in the kernel pool.

               Neither case nor white space are significant in the
               string "method".  For example, the string

                  "  ellipsoidNEARPOINT"

               is valid.


   target      is the name of the target body.  `target' is
               case-insensitive, and leading and trailing blanks in
               `target' are not significant. Optionally, you may supply
               a string containing the integer ID code for the object.
               For example both "MOON" and "301" are legitimate strings
               that indicate the moon is the target body.

               This routine assumes that the target body's surface is
               represented by a plate model, and that a DSK file
               containing the plate model has been loaded via dasopr_c.


   et          is the epoch, represented  as seconds past J2000 TDB, at
               which the sub-solar point on the target body is to be
               computed.  When aberration corrections are used, `et'
               refers to the epoch at which radiation is received at
               the observer.


   abcorr      indicates the aberration corrections to be applied to
               the position and orientation of the target body and the
               position of the Sun to account for one-way light time
               and stellar aberration.  See the discussion in the
               Particulars section for recommendations on how to choose
               aberration corrections.

               `abcorr' may be any of the following:

                  "NONE"     Apply no correction.  Use the geometric
                             positions of the Sun and target body
                             relative to the observer; evaluate the
                             target body's orientation at `et'.

               The following values of `abcorr' apply to the
               "reception" case in which photons depart from the
               target's location at the light-time corrected epoch
               et-lt and *arrive* at the observer's location at
               `et':

                  "LT"       Correct for one-way light time (also
                             called "planetary aberration") using a
                             Newtonian formulation. This correction
                             uses the position and orientation of the
                             target at the moment it emitted photons
                             arriving at the observer at `et'.  The
                             position of the Sun relative to the
                             target is corrected for the one-way light
                             time from the Sun to the target.

                             The light time correction uses an
                             iterative solution of the light time
                             equation (see Particulars for details).
                             The solution invoked by the "LT" option
                             uses one iteration.

                  "LT+S"     Correct for one-way light time and stellar
                             aberration using a Newtonian formulation.
                             This option modifies the positions
                             obtained with the "LT" option to account
                             for the observer's velocity relative to
                             the solar system barycenter (note the
                             target plays the role of "observer" in the
                             computation of the aberration-corrected
                             target-Sun vector). The result is the
                             sub-solar point computed using apparent
                             position and orientation of the target as
                             seen by the observer and the apparent
                             position of the Sun as seen by the target.

                  "CN"       Converged Newtonian light time correction.
                             In solving the light time equation, the
                             "CN" correction iterates until the
                             solution converges (three iterations on
                             all supported platforms).

                             The "CN" correction typically does not
                             substantially improve accuracy because the
                             errors made by ignoring relativistic
                             effects may be larger than the improvement
                             afforded by obtaining convergence of the
                             light time solution. The "CN" correction
                             computation also requires a significantly
                             greater number of CPU cycles than does the
                             one-iteration light time correction.

                  "CN+S"     Converged Newtonian light time
                             and stellar aberration corrections.


   obsrvr      is the name of the observing body.  This is typically a
               spacecraft, the earth, or a surface point on the earth.
               `obsrvr' is case-insensitive, and leading and trailing
               blanks in `obsrvr' are not significant. Optionally, you
               may supply a string containing the integer ID code for
               the object.  For example both "EARTH" and "399" are
               legitimate strings that indicate the earth is the
               observer.

Detailed_Output

   spoint      is the sub-solar point on the target body expressed
               relative to the body-fixed reference frame of the target
               body.

               The definition of sub-solar point depends on the
               selected computation method.  See the description of the
               input argument `method' for details.

               The target body-fixed frame, which is time-dependent, is
               evaluated at `et' if `abcorr' is "NONE"; otherwise the
               frame is evaluated at et-lt, where `lt' is the one-way
               light time from target to observer.

               The position and orientation of the target body and the
               position of the Sun are corrected for aberration as
               specified by `abcorr'; the corrected positions and
               orientation are used in the computation of `spoint'.


   dist        is the distance between the observer and the sub-solar
               point.  The observer is presumed to be outside the
               target body, so `dist' is always non-negative.


   plateID     is the integer ID code of the plate on which the
               sub-solar point is located.  This ID code can be
               use to look up data associated with the plate, such
               as the plate's vertices or outward normal vector.

Parameters

   None.

Exceptions

   If any of the listed errors occur, the output arguments are
   left unchanged.

   1)  If the input argument `method' is not recognized, the error
       SPICE(DUBIOUSMETHOD) is signaled.

   2)  If either of the input body names `target' or `obsrvr' cannot be
       mapped to NAIF integer codes, the error SPICE(IDCODENOTFOUND)
       is signaled.

   3)  If `obsrvr' and `target' map to the same NAIF integer ID codes, the
       error SPICE(BODIESNOTDISTINCT) is signaled.

   4)  If frame definition data enabling the evaluation of the state
       of the target relative to the observer in target body-fixed
       coordinates have not been loaded prior to calling subsol_pl02,
       an error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   5)  If the specified aberration correction is not recognized, an
       error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   6)  If insufficient ephemeris data have been loaded prior to
       calling subsol_pl02, an error is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine.

   7)  If a DSK providing a DSK type 2 plate model has not been
       loaded prior to calling subsol_pl02, an error is signaled by a
       routine in the call tree of this routine.

   8)  If the computation method is "near point" and radii of the
       target body have not been loaded into the kernel pool, an
       error is signaled by a routine in the call tree of this
       routine.

   9)  If PCK data supplying a rotation model for the target body
       have not been loaded prior to calling subsol_pl02, an error is
       signaled by a routine in the call tree of this routine.

   10) If the segment associated with the input DLA descriptor does not
       contain data for the designated target, the error
       SPICE(TARGETMISMATCH) is signaled.

   11) If the segment associated with the input DLA descriptor is not
       of data type 2, the error SPICE(WRONGDATATYPE) is signaled.

   12) If the sub-solar point cannot be computed because the ray from
       the observer to the aim point designated by `method' fails to
       intersect the target surface as defined by the plate model, the
       error SPICE(NOINTERCEPT) is signaled.

   13) Use of transmission-style aberration corrections is not
       permitted.  If abcorr specified such a correction, the
       error SPICE(NOTSUPPORTED) is signaled.

   14) The observer is presumed to be outside the target body; no
       checks are made to verify this.

   15) If any input string pointer is null, the error SPICE(NULLPOINTER)
       is signaled.

   16) If any input string has length zero, the error SPICE(EMPTYSTRING)
       is signaled.

Files

   Appropriate DSK, SPK, PCK, and frame data must be available to
   the calling program before this routine is called.  Typically
   the data are made available by loading kernels; however the
   data may be supplied via subroutine interfaces if applicable.

   The following data are required:

   -  DSK data:  a DSK file containing a plate model representing the
      target body's surface must be loaded. This kernel must contain
      a type 2 segment that contains data for the entire surface of
      the target body.

   -  SPK data:  ephemeris data for target, observer, and Sun must be
      loaded.  If aberration corrections are used, the states of
      target and observer relative to the solar system barycenter
      must be calculable from the available ephemeris data. Typically
      ephemeris data are made available by loading one or more SPK
      files via furnsh_c.

   -  PCK data:  triaxial radii for the target body must be loaded
      into the kernel pool if the "Near Point" method is selected.
      Typically these data are made available by loading a text PCK
      file via furnsh_c.

   -  Further PCK data:  rotation data for the target body must
      be loaded.  These may be provided in a text or binary PCK file.
      Either type of file may be loaded via furnsh_c.

   -  Frame data:  if a frame definition is required to convert
      the observer and target states to the body-fixed frame of
      the target, that definition must be available in the kernel
      pool.  Typically the definition is supplied by loading a
      frame kernel via furnsh_c.

   In all cases, kernel data are normally loaded once per program
   run, NOT every time this routine is called.

Particulars

   subsol_pl02 computes the sub-solar point on a target body.
   subsol_pl02 also determines the distance of the observer from the
   sub-solar point.

   Sub-point Definitions
   =====================

   This routine offers two ways of defining the sub-solar point:

      - The "intercept" method. In general, this definition
        calls for defining a ray emanating from the Sun and
        passing through the center of the target body.  The intercept
        on the first plate (the one closest to the observer) hit by this
        ray is the sub-point.

      - The "ellipsoid near point" method.  When a target's surface is
        modeled by a set of triangular plates, the notion of "dropping
        a perpendicular segment to the surface," which makes sense for
        convex surfaces, becomes problematic:  there need not be any
        plate whose normal vector is parallel to a segment from the Sun
        to some point on that plate, or there could be more than one
        such plate.  If such a plate exists, it might be located
        anywhere on the visible surface---not necessarily "below" the
        Sun.

        To work around these problems, the ellipsoid near point method
        uses a reference ellipsoid to define a preliminary sub-solar
        point: this is the unique point on the ellipsoid's surface at
        which the outward surface normal points toward the Sun.  Then
        the plate model sub-solar point is defined as the plate
        intercept closest to the Sun of a ray emanating from the Sun
        and passing through the preliminary sub-solar point on the
        ellipsoid.

   For a large target such as Mars, or for any target whose reference
   ellipsoid deviates significantly from spherical, the results
   obtained using the two sub-point definitions can be quite different.
   The example program provided below demonstrates this fact; Phobos is
   the target body in this case.  Some analysis on the user's part will
   be needed to select the "best" definition for a given application.

   When comparing sub-solar point computations with results from
   sources other than SPICE, it's essential to make sure the same
   geometric definitions are used.


   Aberration Corrections
   ======================

   Below, we indicate the aberration corrections to use for some
   common applications:

      1) Compute the sub-solar point using the apparent direction
         and orientation of a target. This is the most common case for
         a remote-sensing observation.  When the observer's altitude
         is more than one target radius above the surface:

            Use "LT+S":  apply both light time and stellar
            aberration corrections.

         Note that when the observer is close to the target surface,
         this choice may yield inaccurate results, since light time is
         measured between the observer and the target center.  When the
         observer has altitude of less than one target radius above the
         surface, aberration corrections should be omitted, so in this
         case abcorr should be set to:

            "NONE"

         Note that this selection calls for using the geometric position
         of the Sun.


      2) Use a geometric position vector and uncorrected target
         orientation as low-accuracy estimates for an application where
         execution speed is critical.

            Use "NONE".

   See the header of the CSPICE routine spkezr_c for a detailed
   discussion of aberration corrections.

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) Find the sub-solar point on Phobos as seen from Earth for a
      specified sequence of times. Perform the computation twice,
      using both the "intercept" and "ellipsoid near point"
      options. Compute the corresponding sub-solar point values
      using an ellipsoidal surface for comparison.


      Use the meta-kernel shown below to load the required SPICE
      kernels.
