  This "aareadme.txt" file describes the contents of the KERNELS/SCLK           
  directory of the ROSETTA SPICE data server. It also provides the file         
  naming conventions used for the ROSETTA SCLK kernels, and it provides         
  identification of the most current version of SCLK files.                     
                                                                                
  SCLK files are created from the information contained in the ESOC's DDID      
  Time Correlation Packets.                                                     
                                                                                
  All SCLK files (*.TSC) contained in this directory are unix text files.       
  These may be used in a non-compatible text environment by using               
  the ASCII mode of FTP to port the files.  [Ref 4b]

 ROS_yymmdd_STEP.TSC    This file is a SPICE spacecraft clock (SCLK) 
                        kernel containing information required for 
                        Rosetta spacecraft on-board clock to UTC 
                        conversion. This file provides the same time 
                        information that the Time Correlation 
                        packets released via DDS, with the exception 
                        of 60 seconds before the starting time of 
                        each packet, during which the clock rate was 
                        sightly adjusted to make the correlation
                        function continuous. This file was released 
                        on yy-mm-dd. This is the kernel to be used 
                        with the nominal attitude files (RATT, ATNR).

 LANDER_yymmdd_STEP.TSC This file is a SPICE spacecraft clock (SCLK)
