General information about SPICE FRAMES kernels
==============================================

   In the SPICE system, FRAMES kernel contains a set of information
   required to define various frames used in a particular mission,
   sources of orientation and origin location information for these
   frames and inter-connections between these frames and other frames
   supported within the SPICE system.

   The frame definitions information contained in the file can be
   utilized by a collection of FORTRAN 77 subroutines to provide
   correct interpretation for the SPICE data from SP- and C-kernels.
   These subroutines are part of the SPICELIB library. The SPICE system
   toolkit for a number of computer platforms or information regarding
   how it can be obtained is located in the SOFTWARE subdirectory of
   the main directory of this dataset.
   
   Refer to the FRAMES.REQ document provided with the toolkit or
   available from the NAIF Node of PDS if SPICE toolkit is not included
   with this data set to get more information about definition and
   usage of the frames within SPICE system.


Mars Odyssey (M01) FRAMES Kernel contained in this directory
============================================================

   This directory contains the SPICE Frames Kernel files for the Odyssey
   spacecraft and its science instruments. All files are in IEEE text
   format and must be copied using ftp ASCII transfer to any non-UNIX
   workstation. The following files are present in this directory. (Only
   file names are shown; the file name extensions of the text Frames
   Kernel files are always ".tf"):
 
         m01_vNN      Odyssey Frames kernel files containing
                      definitions for Odyssey spacecraft, its solar
                      arrays, antennas and science instruments;


Mars Odyssey (M01) FK Naming Schema
===================================

   The Odyssey FK file naming schema is as follows:
 
        m01_vNN.tf
 
   where
 
        NN           is the file version (example: ``50'' for Version 5.0);
 
   If multiple versions of a Frames Kernel file are provided, always use
   the latest version (unless earlier version is needed for some special
   reasons.)


Kernel File Details
===================

   The most detailed description of the data in an FK file is 
   provided in metadata included inside the description area of 
   the file. This information can be viewed using any text editor
   program.
