The GEOMETRY directory holds a NAIF SPK file and Right
Ascension / Declination files for Galileo Gravitational
Wave experiments.
Each SPK file is a data module which can be read and interpreted
using software provided by the PDS Navigation and Ancillary
Information Facility (NAIF). That software is described briefly in
TK_FTP.TXT, TK_DESCR.TXT, and TK_INSTL.TXT in the DOCUMENT directory.
Users will normally convert the file from its archival
'transfer' format to the local binary format using the NAIF utility
SPACIT.
SPK file names are of the form SyymmddA.XSP. Detached PDS
labels have names SyymmddA.LBL. In each case yymmdd represents the
2-digit year, 2-digit month, and 2-digit day on which the file starts.
Right ascension / declination (RA/DEC) files contain the RA
and DEC for the Spacecraft at midnight for each day of the
experiment. The file also contains the one-way light time in
seconds. The RA_DEC.TAB file has a detached label called
RA_DEC.LBL.
