Brief Summary

--------------------------------------------------------

     This directory contains the SPICE C-Kernel files for the ExoMars2016

     TGO spacecraft, its structures, and science instruments. Particularly,

     it contains data for the following ExoMars 2016 TGO frames:

          Frame Name           Relative to            NAIF ID

                       nomad: for the NOMAD LNO Scanning mirror frame;

           TYPE      Data type, where a reference to the originator of the

                     data, the type of data and the and the reference period

                     is provided. This is a three letter acronym. The first

                     letter defines the file originator:

                     the second letter defines the reference period of the

                     data:

                          t: Test data;

           ID        mapping to the original file product IDs as defined per

                     an ICD document (optional);

           DESC      description of the original reference file of any

                     particular of the original file (optional) e.g:

                          npo: Nadir Power-optimised s/c attitude;

                          noa: Nadir Orbit-aligned s/c attitude;

                          axis: Orientation of the spin axis of EDM;

                          spin: Angular velocity od the spin axis of EDM;

           YYYYMMDD  coverage start and stop times in TDB (required);

           SCLK      reference to SCLK used to created the CK (required):

                         sYYYYMMDD: SCLK version YYMMDD for type ``step''
