BepiColombo MMO Spacecraft SCLK File by ESA SPICE Service
===========================================================================
 
   This file is a SPICE spacecraft clock (SCLK) kernel containing
   information required for the BepiColombo Mercury Magnetospheric Orbiter 
   (MMO) spacecraft on-board clock to UTC conversion.
   
   This file contains the data necessary for converting from ET to
   ticks for the MMO spacecraft clock (clock ID code 68)
 
 
Production/History of this SCLK file
--------------------------------------------------------

   Version 0.0 -- January 3th, 2024 -- Ricardo Valles Blanco, ESAC/ESA
   
      Initial release. Cloned and edited from bc_mmo_fict_20231129.tsc


Production/History of this SCLK file
--------------------------------------------------------

   This SCLK kernel is intended to be used with CK files with
   structure IDs on board the spacecraft MPO_SPACECRAFT.
   The NAIF ID code for MMO_SPACECRAFT is -68000.


Usage
--------------------------------------------------------
 
   This file is used by the SPICE system as follows: programs that make
   use of this frame kernel must "load" the kernel normally during 
   program initialization. Loading the kernel associates the data items 
   with their names in a data structure called the "kernel pool". The 
   routine that loads a kernel into the pool is shown below:
                                                                               
      FORTRAN: (SPICELIB)

         CALL FURNSH ( frame_kernel_name )

      C: (CSPICE)

         furnsh_c ( frame_kernel_name );

      IDL: (ICY)

         cspice_furnsh, frame_kernel_name
         
      MATLAB: (MICE)
      
         cspice_furnsh ( 'frame_kernel_name' )

      PYTHON: (SPICEYPY)*

         furnsh( frame_kernel_name )

   This file must be loaded into the user's program in order to use the
   SPICE SCLK family of subroutines to convert MMO spacecraft on-board
   clock to ET and vice versa.
   
   This file was created and may be updated with a text editor or word
   processor.

SCLK Format
--------------------------------------------------------

     The on-board clock, the conversion for which is provided by this
     SCLK file, consists of two fields:

          P/SSSSSSSSSS:FFFFF

     where:

          P/         -- optional partition identifier

          SSSSSSSSSS -- count of on-board seconds (32 bits)

          FFFFF      -- count of fractions of a second (16 bits)

Kernel DATA
--------------------------------------------------------

   This SCLK file is constructed so that the valid SCLK strings are
   simply the number of TDB seconds that have passed since the Ephemeris
   epoch 2016-JULY-12-00:01:08.184. Thus 1/288929292.8201 simply
   represents the epoch that occurs 288929292.12514 TDB seconds past the
   ET epoch 2016-JULY-12-00:01:08.184.
 
   For all time, the clock runs at the same rate as TDB. There is only
   one partition for this clock.
