This data set contains navigation and related observation geometry and other ancillary data in the form of SPICE System kernel files for the CASSINI spacecraft. See the file ``mission.cat'' in the ``/catalog'' directory for a description of the mission and the file ``insthost.cat'' in the same directory for a description of the spacecraft.
The SPICE kernel files contain geometric and other ancillary information needed to recover the full value of science instrument data. Data in the SPICE kernel files must be accessed using the NAIF (Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility) software called the SPICE Toolkit. See the file ``softinfo.txt'' in the ``/software'' directory for instructions on how to obtain this software.
This data set is contained on a single virtual volume, COSP_1000, including data from all mission phases and covering from launch, 1997 OCT 15, through the end time of the latest spacecraft trajectory file supplied in the data set. These data are available online at:
