Known Limitations and Caveats
Accuracy
--------
In general, the orientation models given here are claimed by the
IAU Working Group Report [1] to be accurate to 0.1 degree
([1], p.158). However, NAIF notes that orientation models for
natural satellites and asteroids have in some cases changed
substantially with the availability of new observational data, so
users are urged to investigate the suitability for their
applications of the models presented here.
Earth orientation
-----------------
NAIF strongly cautions against using the earth rotation model
(from [1]), corresponding to the SPICE reference frame name
IAU_EARTH, for work demanding high accuracy. This model has been
determined by NAIF to have an error in the prime meridian location
of magnitude at least 150 arcseconds, with a local minimum
occurring during the year 1999. Regarding availability of better
earth orientation data for use with the SPICE system:
Earth orientation data are available from NAIF in the form of
binary earth PCK files. These files provide orientation data
for the ITRF93 (terrestrial) reference frame relative to the
ICRF.
NAIF employs an automated process to create these files; each
time JPL's Tracking Systems and Applications Section produces a
new earth orientation parameter (EOP) file, a new PCK is
produced. These PCKs cover a roughly 10 year time span starting
at Jan. 1, 2000. In these PCK files, the following effects are
accounted for in modeling the earth's rotation:
- Precession: 1976 IAU model
- Nutation: 1980 IAU model, plus interpolated
EOP nutation corrections
- Polar motion: interpolated from EOP file
- True sidereal time:
UT1 - UT1R (if needed): given by analytic formula
+ TAI - UT1 (or UT1R): interpolated from EOP file
+ UT1 - GMST: given by analytic formula
+ equation of equinoxes: given by analytic formula
where
TAI = International Atomic Time
UT1 = Greenwich hour angle of computed mean sun - 12h
UT1R = Regularized UT1
GMST = Greenwich mean sidereal time
These kernels are available from the NAIF web site
http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov
(follow the links to Data, generic_kernels, and PCK data) or
ftp://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck
or via anonymous ftp from the server
naif.jpl.nasa.gov
The kernels are in the path
pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck
At this time, these kernels have file names of the form
earth_000101_yymmdd_yymmdd.bpc
The first date in the file name, meaning 2000 January 1, is the
file's coverage begin time. The second and third dates are,
respectively, the file's coverage end time and the epoch of the
last datum.
These binary PCK files are very accurate (error < 0.1
microradian) for epochs preceding the epoch of the last datum.
For later epochs, the error rises to several microradians.
Binary PCK files giving accurate earth orientation from 1972 to
2007 and *low accuracy* predicted earth orientation from
2007 to 2037 are also available in the same location. See the
aareadme.txt file at the "pck" URL above for details.
Characteristics and names of the binary kernels described here
are subject to change. See the "pck" URL above for information
on current binary earth PCKs.
Lunar orientation
-----------------
The lunar orientation formula provided by this file is a
trigonometric polynomial approximation yielding the orientation of
the lunar "Mean Earth/Polar Axis" (ME) reference frame. The
SPICE reference frame name corresponding to this model is
IAU_MOON.
A more accurate approximation can be obtained by using both the
NAIF lunar frame kernel and the binary lunar orientation PCK file.
These files provide orientation data for the both the Mean
Earth/Polar Axis frame, which has the SPICE name MOON_ME, and the
Lunar Principal Axes frame, which has the SPICE name MOON_PA.
These files are available on the NAIF web site (see URLs above)
and in the NAIF server's ftp area. The lunar frame kernel is
located in the path
pub/naif/generic_kernels/fk/satellites
and has a name of the form
moon_yymmdd.tf
The binary lunar PCK is in the path
pub/naif/generic_kernels/pck
and has a name of the form
moon_pa_dennn_yyyy-yyyy.bpc
See the "aareadme.txt" files in the paths shown above for details
on file contents and versions. We also suggest you refer to the
SPICE tutorial named "lunar_earth_pck-fk," which is available from
the NAIF web site.
Earth geomagnetic dipole
------------------------
The SPICE Toolkit doesn't currently contain software to model the
earth's north geomagnetic centered dipole as a function of time.
As a convenience for users, the north dipole location from the
epoch 2012.0 was selected as a representative datum, and the
planetocentric longitude and latitude of this location have been
associated with the keywords
BODY399_N_GEOMAG_CTR_DIPOLE_LON
BODY399_N_GEOMAG_CTR_DIPOLE_LAT
Values for the earth's north geomagnetic centered dipole are
presented in comments as a discrete time series for the time range
1945-2000. For details concerning the geomagnetic field model from
which these values were derived, including a discussion of the
model's accuracy, see [9] and [11].
Prime meridian offsets
----------------------
Prime meridian offset kernel variables, which have names
of the form
BODYnnn_LONG_AXIS
are not used by SPICE geometry software. These variables should be
considered deprecated; however, they will be retained for
backwards compatibility.
Users wishing to specify an offset reflecting the orientation of a
reference ellipsoid relative to a body-fixed reference frame
specified here should do so by creating a constant-offset frame
(also called a "TK" frame) specification. See the Frames Required
Reading frames.req for details.
The Mars prime meridian offset given by [5] is provided for
informational purposes only.
Software limitations
--------------------
SPICE Toolkits prior to version N0057 cannot make use of
trigonometric polynomial terms in the formulas for orientation of
the planets.
The second nutation precession angle (M2) for Mars is represented
by a quadratic polynomial in the 2006 IAU report. The SPICELIB
subroutine BODEUL can not handle this term (which is extremely
small), so we truncate the polynomial to a linear one. The
resulting orientation error has a maximum magnitude of less
than 0.0032 degrees over the time span 1996-2015 and less than
0.0082 degrees over the time span 1986-2025.

Most values are from [1]. All exceptions are
commented where they occur in this file. The exceptions are:
-- Radii for the Sun are from [4].
-- Prime meridian constant (W0) terms for Pluto, Charon,
and Ida are from [2].
-- The second nutation precession angle (M2) for Mars is
represented by a quadratic polynomial in the 2000
IAU report. The SPICELIB subroutine BODEUL can not
handle this term (which is extremely small), so we
truncate the polynomial to a linear one.
-- Earth north geomagnetic centered dipole values are from
[11]. The values were also computed from the 11th
generation IGRF by Nat Bachman.
"Old values" listed are from the SPICE P_constants file
pck00009.tpc dated March 3, 2010. Most of these values came
from the 2006 IAU report [3].
Explanatory Notes
--------------------------------------------------------
This file, which is logically part of the SPICE P-kernel, contains
constants used to model the orientation, size and shape of the
Sun, planets, natural satellites, and selected comets and
asteroids. The orientation models express the direction of the
pole and location of the prime meridian of a body as a function of
time. The size/shape models ("shape models" for short) represent
all bodies as ellipsoids, using two equatorial radii and a polar
radius. Spheroids and spheres are obtained when two or all three
radii are equal.
The SPICE Toolkit routines that use this file are documented in
the SPICE "Required Reading" file pck.req. They are also
documented in the "PCK" SPICE tutorial, which is available on
the NAIF web site.
File Format
A terse description of the PCK file format is given here. See the
SPICE "Required Reading" files pck.req and kernel.req for a
detailed explanation of the SPICE text kernel file format. The
files pck.req and kernel.req are included in the documentation
provided with the SPICE Toolkit.
The file starts out with the ``ID word'' string
KPL/PCK
This string identifies the file as a text kernel containing PCK
data.
This file consists of a series of comment blocks and data blocks.
Comment blocks, which contain free-form descriptive or explanatory
text, are preceded by a \begintext token. Data blocks follow a
\begindata token. In order to be recognized, each of these tokens
must be placed on a line by itself.
The portion of the file preceding the first data block is treated
as a comment block; it doesn't require an initial \begintext
token.
This file identifies data using a series of
KEYWORD = VALUE
assignments. The left hand side of each assignment is a
"kernel variable" name; the right hand side is an associated value
or list of values. The SPICE subroutine API allows SPICE routines
and user applications to retrieve the set of values associated
with each kernel variable name.
Kernel variable names are case-sensitive and are limited to
32 characters in length.
Numeric values may be integer or floating point. String values
are normally limited to 80 characters in length; however, SPICE
provides a mechanism for identifying longer, "continued" strings.
See the SPICE routine STPOOL for details.
String values are single quoted.
When the right hand side of an assignment is a list of values,
the list items may be separated by commas or simply by blanks.
The list must be bracketed by parentheses. Example:
BODY399_RADII = ( 6378.1366 6378.1366 6356.7519 )
Any blanks preceding or following keyword names, values and equal
signs are ignored.
Assignments may be spread over multiple lines, for example:
BODY399_RADII = ( 6378.1366
6378.1366
6356.7519 )
This file may contain blank lines anywhere. Non-printing
characters including TAB should not be present in the file: the
presence of such characters may cause formatting errors when the
file is viewed.
Time systems and reference frames
The 2009 IAU Working Group Report [1] states the time scale used
as the independent variable for the rotation formulas is
Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB) and that the epoch of variable
quantities is J2000 TDB (2000 Jan 1 12:00:00 TDB, Julian ephemeris
date 2451545.0 TDB). Throughout SPICE documentation and in this
file, we use the names "J2000 TDB" and "J2000" for this epoch. The
name "J2000.0" is equivalent.
SPICE documentation refers to the time system used in this file
as either "ET" or "TDB." SPICE software makes no distinction
between TDB and the time system associated with the independent
variable of the JPL planetary ephemerides T_eph.
The inertial reference frame used for the rotational elements in
this file is identified by [1] as the ICRF (International
Celestial Reference Frame).
The SPICE PCK software that reads this file uses the label "J2000"
to refer to the ICRF; this is actually a mislabeling which has
been retained in the interest of backward compatibility. Using
data from this file, by means of calls to the SPICE frame
transformation routines, will actually compute orientation
relative to the ICRF.
The difference between the J2000 frame and the ICRF is
on the order of tens of milliarcseconds and is well below the
accuracy level of the formulas in this file.
Orientation models
All of the orientation models use three Euler angles to describe
the orientation of the coordinate axes of the "Body Equator and
Prime Meridian" system with respect to an inertial system. By
default, the inertial system is the ICRF (labeled as "J2000"), but
other inertial frames can be specified in the file. See the PCK
Required Reading for details.
The first two angles, in order, are the ICRF right ascension and
declination (henceforth RA and DEC) of the north pole of a body as
a function of time. The third angle is the prime meridian location
(represented by "W"), which is expressed as a rotation about the
north pole, and is also a function of time.
For each body, the expressions for the north pole's right
ascension and declination, as well as prime meridian location, are
sums (as far as the models that appear in this file are concerned)
of quadratic polynomials and trigonometric polynomials, where the
independent variable is time.
In this file, the time arguments in expressions always refer to
Barycentric Dynamical Time (TDB), measured in centuries or days
past a reference epoch. By default, the reference epoch is the
J2000 epoch, which is Julian ephemeris date 2451545.0 (2000 Jan 1
12:00:00 TDB), but other epochs can be specified in the file. See
the PCK Required Reading for details.
Orientation models for satellites and some planets (including
Jupiter) involve both polynomial terms and trigonometric terms.
The arguments of the trigonometric terms are linear polynomials.
In this file, we call the arguments of these trigonometric terms
"nutation precession angles."
Example: 2009 IAU Model for orientation of Jupiter. Note that
these values are used as an example only; see the data area below
for current values.

Ja-Je are nutation precession angles.
In this file, the polynomials' coefficients above are assigned
to kernel variable names (left-hand-side symbols) as follows
BODY599_POLE_RA = ( 268.056595 -0.006499 0. )

BODY599_PM = ( 284.95 870.5360000 0. )
and the trigonometric polynomials' coefficients are assigned

Note the number "599"; this is the NAIF ID code for Jupiter.
In this file, the polynomial expressions for the nutation
precession angles are listed along with the planet's RA, DEC, and
prime meridian terms. Below are the 2006 IAU nutation precession
angles for the Jupiter system.

Je = 49.511251 + 64.3000 T
Here
T represents centuries past J2000 ( TDB )
J1-J10 and Ja-Je are the nutation precession angles. The angles
J9 and J10 are equal to 2*J1 and 2*J2, respectively.
Angles J9 and J10 are not present in [1]; they have been added
to fit the terms 2*J1 and 2*J2, which appear in the orientation
models of several satellites, into a form that can be accepted
by the PCK system.
The assignment of the nutation precession angles for the
Jupiter system is as follows:
BODY5_NUT_PREC_ANGLES = ( 73.32 91472.9
24.62 45137.2
283.90 4850.7
355.80 1191.3

114.012305 6070.2476
49.511251 64.3000 )
You'll see an additional symbol grouped with the ones listed
above; it is
BODY599_LONG_AXIS
This is a deprecated feature; see the note on "Prime meridian
offsets" under "Known Limitations and Caveats" above.
The pattern of the formulas for satellite orientation is similar
to that for Jupiter. Example: 2006 IAU values for Io. Again, these
values are used as an example only; see the data area below for
current values.
Right ascension
---------------
alpha = 268.05 - 0.009 T + 0.094 sin(J3) + 0.024 sin(J4)
0
Declination
-----------
delta = 64.50 + 0.003 T + 0.040 cos(J3) + 0.011 cos(J4)
0
Prime meridian
--------------
W = 200.39 + 203.4889538 d - 0.085 sin(J3) - 0.022 sin(J4)
d represents days past J2000.
J3 and J4 are nutation precession angles.
The polynomial terms are assigned to symbols by the statements
BODY501_POLE_RA = ( 268.05 -0.009 0. )
BODY501_POLE_DEC = ( 64.50 0.003 0. )
BODY501_PM = ( 200.39 203.4889538 0. )
The coefficients of the trigonometric terms are assigned to symbols by
the statements
BODY501_NUT_PREC_RA = ( 0. 0. 0.094 0.024 )
BODY501_NUT_PREC_DEC = ( 0. 0. 0.040 0.011 )
BODY501_NUT_PREC_PM = ( 0. 0. -0.085 -0.022 )
501 is the NAIF ID code for Io.
SPICE software expects the models for satellite orientation to
follow the form of the model shown here: the polynomial portions of the
RA, DEC, and W expressions are expected to be quadratic, the
trigonometric terms for RA and W (satellite prime meridian) are expected
to be linear combinations of sines of nutation precession angles, the
trigonometric terms for DEC are expected to be linear combinations of
cosines of nutation precession angles, and the polynomials for the
nutation precession angles themselves are expected to be linear.
Eventually, the software will handle more complex expressions, we
expect.
Shape models
There is only one kind of shape model supported by the SPICE
Toolkit software at present: the triaxial ellipsoid. The 2009 IAU
report [1] does not use any other models, except in the case of
Mars, where separate values are given for the north and south
polar radii. In this file, we provide as a datum the mean Mars
polar radius provided by [1]. The North and South values are
included as comments.
For each body, three radii are listed: The first number is
the largest equatorial radius (the length of the semi-axis
containing the prime meridian), the second number is the smaller
equatorial radius, and the third is the polar radius.
Example: Radii of the Earth.
BODY399_RADII = ( 6378.1366 6378.1366 6356.7519 )

Source [5] specifies the following value for the lambda_a term
(BODY499_LONG_AXIS ) for Mars. This term is the POSITIVE EAST
LONGITUDE, measured from the prime meridian, of the meridian
containing the longest axis of the reference ellipsoid.
(CAUTION: previous values were POSITIVE WEST.)
body499_long_axis = ( 252. )
We list this lambda_a value for completeness. The IAU report
[1] gives equal values for both equatorial radii, so the
lambda_a offset does not apply to the IAU model.
The 2003 IAU report defines M2, the second nutation precession angle,
by:
2
192.93 + 1128.4096700 d + 8.864 T
We truncate the M2 series to a linear expression, because the PCK
software cannot handle the quadratic term.
Again, the linear terms are scaled by 36525.0:
-0.4357640000000000 --> -15916.28010000000
1128.409670000000 --> 41215163.19675000
-1.8151000000000000E-02 --> -662.9652750000000
We also introduce a fourth nutation precession angle, which
is the pi/2-complement of the third angle. This angle is used
in computing the prime meridian location for Deimos. See the
discussion of this angle below in the section containing orientation
constants for Deimos.

3
+ 0.19 cos M .

At the present time, the PCK kernel software (the routine
BODEUL in particular) cannot handle the cosine term directly,
but we can represent it as
0.19 sin M

where
M = 90.D0 - M
