PDS_VERSION_ID = PDS3 RECORD_TYPE = STREAM OBJECT = TEXT PUBLICATION_DATE = 2000-04-10 NOTE = "This file describes the contents of this directory." END_OBJECT = TEXT END This directory contains SPICE kernels in the format needed by software running on most Unix platforms (binary SP and C kernels, ASCII [LF] for the TSC, TLS, and TPC kernels). These kernels will only work properly with software running on platforms that use IEEE floating point (MSB) and the line feed as the ASCII line termination character. These kernels are provided on in this product both for completeness and to ensure that the kernels used in the processing of the data are included in the archive. The official archive of the Galileo SPICE products is maintained by the Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) in Pasadena CA. SPICE kernels can be obtained from the NAIF Node of the PDS for numerous platforms in addition to those provided here. In addition to being the PDS archive site for the SPICE kernels, NAIF provides and maintains a software toolkit (SPICELIB) for accessing the kernels. For more information about NAIF, SPICELIB, or to acquire kernels for platforms not support here, please visit the NAIF website (http://pds.jpl.nasa.gov/naif.html). The DOCUMENT directory on this cdrom describing the SPICE concept. The SPICE kernel files provided by the Galileo project did not conform to either the ISO 8.3 file naming convention or the PDS file naming conventions. The following table lists the original project names for each file, the PDS name, and a terse file description. There is a lot more detail about each kernel file in each PDS label file.
