4. MaRS, RSI and VeRa Volumes and Datasets Organizations, Formats and Name 
Specifications

4.1 Definitions and General Concept

4.1.1. Definitions

4.1.1.1.Data Product

A labeled grouping of data resulting from a scientific observation. Examples 
of data products include spectrum tables, and time series tables. A data 
product is a component of a data set.

4.1.1.2. Data Set

The accumulation of data products, secondary data, software, and 
documentation, that completely document and support the use of those data 
products. A data set is part of a data set collection.

4.1.1.3. Data Set Collection

A data set collection consists of data sets that are related by observation 
type, discipline, target, or time, and therefore are treated as a unit, 
archived and distributed as a group (set) for a specific scientific objective 
and analysis.

4.1.1.4. Volume

A physical unit used to store or distribute data products (e.g. a CD_ROM or 
DVD disk) which contain directories and files. The directories and files 
include documentation, software, calibration and geometry information as 
well as the actual science data. A volume is part of a volume set.  

4.1.1.5. Volume Set

A volume set consists of one or more data volumes containing a single data set 
or collection of related data sets. In certain cases, the volume set can 
consists of only one volume.


4.1.2. Data- and Volume Set Organization
The general concept for the MaRS, RSI and VeRa Data- and Volume Set Design is
shown in Figure 4-1 (not available in Ascii). 
One data object is accompanied by a label. The result is a data product.
Data product + ancillary data + documentation is a data set.
One data set equals one volume.
  
  
4.2. Volume and Dataset Name Specification
  
4.2.1. Dataset
  
4.2.1.1. Dataset ID

The Data Set ID is a unique alphanumeric identifier for the MaRS, VeRa and RSI
data products. One data set corresponds to one physical data volume and both 
have the same four digit sequence number.

It should be noted that the MaRS mission phase names used in the 
data_set_id do not correspond to the mission phase names as defined from ESA 
for Mars Express. However, since the radio science team tries has to archive 
data for Mars Express as well as for Venus Express and Rosetta, it was granted
the use of spacecraft-independent mission phase names which can be used for 
all three missions. Nevertheless, for Venus Express the ESA-defined mission 
phases will be used.

Table 4-2: Mission phase description 

The mission phases and their abbreviations for Venus Express will be used in 
the DATA_SET_ID and DATA_SET_NAME. In the data labels, however, the value of the
keyword MISSION_PHASE_NAME is fixed and have other definitions, belonging to 
defined subphases. These subphases can be found in the MISSION.CAT (CATALOG 
folder of the Venus Express dataset) or in the MISSION_PHASE.TAB document 
(DOCUMENT/ESA_DOC folder).

Rosetta mission phase definitions can be found in RO_EST_TN_3372.PDF in the
DOCUMENT/ESA_DOC directory.

4.2.3. Volume
  
4.2.3.1. Volume ID

The Volume ID is a unique identifier for a single MaRS, RSI or VeRa data volume,
including a complete measurement. Two kinds of Volume IDs are used, the ESA and
RSI Volume ID:

ESA PSA Volume-ID:
------------------
The Volume ID is formed using a mission identifier, an instrument identifier of 3
characters, followed by an underscore character, followed by a 4 digit sequence
number. In the 4-digit number, the first one represents the kind of measurement, the
remaining digits define the range of volumes in the volume set.
The first digit of the 4-digit sequence number:

0: Commissioning
1: Occultation
2: Gravity
3: Solar Conjunction
4: Bistatic Radar
5: Passive/Active Checkouts
6: Swing-bys/Fly-bys
7: Cometary Coma Observations
9: Higher Science data

The Volume-ID looks like:
 

XXXXXX_ZZZZ 

      Acronym|Description              |Example
      =========================================
      XXXXXX |Mission and Instrument ID|MEXMRS 
                                       |ROSRSI 
                                       |VEXVRA 
      ZZZZ   |4 digit sequence number  | 3050 

Table 4-5: Volume ID 

Examples: 
  
MEXMRS_3050 
ROSRSI_3050 
VEXVRA_3050


RSI Volume-ID:
--------------
The Radio Science Volume ID is a number which is incremented measurement by
measurement, independent what kind of measurement was conducted. The RSI
Volume ID is used within the DATA_SET_ID. The Radio Science Volume ID can be
found in the logbook located in DOCUMENT/RSI_DOC.

In case of REX the Volume ID consists of the last two elements of the
Volume Set ID, which is the mission identifier and the instrument
identifier, followed by an underscore character, followed by a sequence
number replacing the 'X' wildcards values. The sequence number represents
the number of volumes.

NHREX_0001


4.2.3.2. Volume Version ID
  
There can be several version of the same volume, if for example the archiving 
software changed during the archiving process or errors occurred during the 
initial production. This is indicated by the Volume Version ID, a string, 
which consists of a V for Version followed by a sequence number indicating 
the revision number.
  
VV.V 
 
      Acronym | Description       | Example
      ------------------------------------   
      VV.V    | Volume Version ID | V1.0 

Table 4-6: Volume Version Id 
 
If a volume is redone because of errors in the initial production or because 
of a change in the archiving software during the archiving process, the 
volume ID remains the same, and the Volume Version ID will be incremented. 


4.2.3.3. Volume Name

The volume name (formatted according to Table 4-7 ) contains the name of the 
physical data volume (typically a CD-ROM or DVD) already identifiable by its 
VOLUME ID. Both the VOLUME ID and the VOLUME NAME are printed on the CD-ROM 
or DVD label.

In case of REX, the Volume Name consists of the Mission host ID, the Instrument
ID, the Mission Phase Name (short name), the Data Description and the Volume
Version ID:

NHREX_PLUTO_CHARON_GRAV_V1.0


4.2.4. Volume Set

A volume set consists of a number of volumes. 
  
4.2.4.1. Volume Set ID

The volume set ID identifies a data volume or a set of volumes. Volume sets 
are considered as a single orderable entity. Volume set ID shall be at most 
60 characters in length, must be in upper case and separated by underscores.

6.1.2.2. RSR Level 1a
  
The RSR is a computer controlled open loop receiver that digitally records a 
spacecraft signal through the use of an analog to digital converter (ADC) and 
up to four digital filter sub-channels. The digital samples from each 
sub-channel are stored to disk at regular intervals in real time. In near 
real time the records are partitioned and formatted into a sequence of RSR 
SFDUs which are transmitted to JPLs Advanced Multi-Mission Operations System 
(AMMOS ). Included in each RSR SFDU is the ancillary data necessary to 
reconstruct the signal represented by the recorded data samples in that SFDU.
The structure of RSRs is described in the NASA document 
  
820-13, 0159 -Science 
Radio Science Receiver 
Standard Formatted Data Unit (SFDU) 
  
And in the IGM documents 
  
ROS-RSI-IGM-MA-3113-RSR-Read-Program-Manual 
MEX-MRS-IGM-MA-3026 RSR-Read-Program-Manual 
  
  
The physical layout of the RSR SFDU is divided into five sections: the SFDU 
label, the header aggregation CHDO label, the primary header CHDO, the 
secondary header CHDO, and the data CHDO. The primary header CHDO and the 
secondary header CHDO together constitute the value field of the header 
aggregation CHDO; the header aggregation CHDO and the data CHDO together 
constitute the value field of the RSR SFDU. 
The length of the RSR SFDU (in 8-bit bytes) is designated as N in this module. 
In general, the length of all items in the RSR SFDU are fixed, except for the 
data CHDO. The length of the data CHDO is variable and is determined by the 
sample rate and sample size of the recorded data. The length of the data CHDO 
is designated as M in this module. In any case, the total length of the RSR 
SFDU is easily ascertained from the length attribute in the SFDU label 
(total SFDU length N = SFDU length attribute + 20).

6.2.1.1.1. IFMS/TTCP raw data file name format
  
The nominal length of a filename of the IFMS/TTCP is 31 characters, and increases 
only in the case that more than 9999 sequence IDs are needed, or in the case
 of raw (uncorrected) ranging data (more information in the referenced 
document IFMS_OCCFTP.PDF) (IFMS) and TTCP-ICD-SOFT_1.3.pdf (TTCP)). In that
case, the IFMS/TTCP expands the sequence IDs length, or add a filename
extension, as needed. Level 1a files will be renamed according to the file 
name format defined in section 5.1.

7.1.1.3.1. File name formats

A new file name is created and is formatted according to section 5.1 with the 
data archiving level set to lll = L1A. It replaces the original file name 
which is stored in the accompanying label file. The extension is set to 
eee = DAT. A DSN ODF/TNF file contains usually data covering several days and 
from different ground stations. Therefore, a general apointement to a 
specific ground station cannot be done and gg=00. 
The processed data file names of level 1b are formatted according section 5.1 
with the archiving level set to lll = L1B and eee = TAB.
The sequence number qq is not used for all DSN file types of level 1a and 
level 1b and is set qq = 00.
 
  For the Doppler data sss = DPS or DPX (ODF)/tttt = TNFS or TNFX and
   sss = DPD (TNF)
  For the range data sss = RNS or RNX 
  For the uplink frequency ramp rate data sss = RMP (ODF)/tttt = TNFS 
   or TNFX and sss = DPU (TNF)
  For the modified meteorological file sss = MET 
  
New level 1a file name:

7.2.1.2. Input files
  
The input files are: 
  The incoming IFMS level 1a files 

7.2.1.2.1. IFMS level 1a files

The original IFMS files have file names and formats according to section 6.2.1.

7.2.1.3. Output IFMS Level 1b products 

7.2.1.3.1. File name formats 

Since the incoming raw IFMS files are not PDS compliant, for each file a new 
file name is created and is formatted according to section 5.1 with the data 
archiving level set to lll = L1A and file ending set to .eee = .RAW . It 
replaces the original file name which is stored in the accompanying label 
file. The data source identifier is set to tttt = ICL1, ICL2, ICL3 or IOL3 
(IFMS) or tttt= TCL1 or TCL2 (TTCP).
  
New level 1a file name: 
rggttttL1A_sss_yydddhhmm_qq.RAW 
  
PDS labe l file names level 1a: 
rggttttL1A_sss_yydddhhmm_qq.LBL 
  
  
The processed data file names of level 1b are formatted according section 5.1 
with the archiving level identifier set to lll = L1B. For each Level 1a data 
file three files are generated: 
  
Level 1b data file name: 
rggttttL1B_sss_yydddhhmm_qq.TAB 
  
IFMS configuration file name level 1b: 
rggttttL1B_sss_yydddhhmm_qq.CFG 
 
PDS labe l file names level 1b: 
rggttttL1B_sss_yydddhhmm_qq.LBL 
 
The label file contains the description of the .TAB as well as of the .CFG
file. 

 
7.2.1.3.2. Data file formats
  
The program will produce up to fifteen different level 1b data files along 
with their respective label files according to PDS standards. The data files
 contain Doppler data, ranging data, meteorological data and AGC data. The
 file type identifier sss is set to: 
D1S D2S RGS AG1 RCS C1S C2S 
D1X D2X RGX AG2 RCX C2X C2X 
MET 
  
Furthermore, IFMS configuration files are created which contain the actual 
configuration of the respective IFMS (tttt = ICL1, ICL2, ICL3 or IOL3). The 
extension of the configuration files are eee = CFG, they describe data files
 of file type sss. 
  
  
7.2.1.3.2.1. The Doppler Files D1S, D1X, D2S, D2X 
  
The program will read the information of the level 1a Doppler files and will 
produce Doppler files of level 1b containing data described in Table 7-11.

The content and format of the range calibration file RCX and RCS is described
in section 10. 


7.2.2.3. Output IFMS/TTCP Level 2 products 
  
There may be several Doppler 1 X-Band files in level 1a which will 
be merged on level 2. The same is true for all other Doppler file type and 
Ranging X and S-Band files. Only files with continous sequenced numbers (the
file names are the same only the sequence number varies for these files) are
merged together. Otherwise a new Level 02 data file is created (merging data 
files with a new sequence of files). 

The level 2 source_product_id however gives the RAW IFMS/TTCP file names since the 
raw files are used for processing. But the content of the IFMS/TTCP raw files are 
identical to the corresponding level 1a IFMS/TTCP files in one data set, only the 
file name is different. And the source_product_id of the level 1a files gives
the original raw IFMS/TTCP files. In addition the level 1A files have almost the
same file name as the corresponding level 2 files. The corresponding 
level 1A files can be found in 
DATA/L1A/CLOSED_LOOP/IFMS/DP1 for Doppler 1 files (IFMS)
DATA/L1A/CLOSED_LOOP/IFMS/DP2 for Doppler 2 files (IFMS)
DATA/L1A/CLOSED_LOOP/IFMS/RNG for Ranging files (IFMS)
DATA/LEVEL1A/CLOSED_LOOP/TTCP/DP1 for Doppler 1 files (TTCP)
DATA/LEVEL1A/CLOSED_LOOP/TTCP/DP2 for Doppler 2 files (TTCP)
DATA/LEVEL1A/CLOSED_LOOP/TTCP/RNG for Ranging files (TTCP)



--------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
M32ICL1L02_D1X_040931103_00.TAB is an IFMS level 2 Doppler 1 X-Band file 
  
in M32ICL1L02_D1X_040931103_00.LBL the following SOURCE_PRODUCT_ID is given: 
  
SOURCE_PRODUCT_ID = {"NN11_MEX1_2004_093_OP_D1_110358_0000", 
"NN11_MEX1_2004_093_OP_D1_110358_0001", 
"NN11_MEX1_2004_093_OP_D1_110358_0002"} 
  
which are the raw IFMS files. The corresponding Level 1A files can be found
in DATA/L1A/CLOSED_LOOP/IFMS/DP1 
  
Their names are: 
M32ICL1L1A_D1X_040931103_00.RAW 
M32ICL1L1A_D1X_040931103_01.RAW 
M32ICL1L1A_D1X_040931103_02.RAW 
  
and the corresponding label files give the source_product_id as: 
in the M32ICL1L1A_D1X_040931103_00.LBL file the source_product_id is given as:
SOURCE_PRODUCT_ID = "NN11_MEX1_2004_093_OP_D1_110358_0000" 
in the M32ICL1L1A_D1X_040931103_01.LBL file the source_product_id is given as:
SOURCE_PRODUCT_ID = "NN11_MEX1_2004_093_OP_D1_110358_0001" 
in the M32ICL1L1A_D1X_040931103_02.LBL file the source_product_id is given as:
SOURCE_PRODUCT_ID = "NN11_MEX1_2004_093_OP_D1_110358_0002" 
  
Note that in this example the three level 1A files were merged to one 
level 2 files. 
The file names of the level 1a files are almost identical to the level 2
file name with three differences: 
- L1A instead of L02 in the file name which tells the user that these are
 level 1A and level 2 files. 
- The two digit-sequence number at the end of the file can be different. 
- The level 1A files have file extension .RAW whereas level 2 files have file 
extension .TAB

7.2.2.3.1. File name formats

The file names of the IFMS/TTCP output level 2 files are formatted according to 
section 5.1 with the archiving level identifier set to lll = L02 and the file 
source identifier set to tttt = ICL1 or ICL2 or ICL3 for the IFMS 1, 2 or 3, 
(tttt = TCL1 or TCL2 for the TTCP 1 or 2) respectively. The file type is set
to sss = D1X or D2X for X-band Doppler or sss = D1S or D2S for S-band Doppler,
respectively, or sss = RGX or RGS for calibrated X-band or S-band ranging files,
(sss = R1X/R1S or R2X/R2S for TTCP ranging files) respectively.

7.2.2.3.2. Log-Files

Additionally a log-file is produced which contains information about the
 Level 2 processing of Doppler or Ranging data. These log-files are stored in 
EXTRAS/ANCILLARY/MRS/LOGFILES or RSI/LOGFILES or VRA/LOGFILES. The name of the 
files are the same like the Level 2 data files except for the sequence number 
qq and the extension. The sequence number is started with 00 and will be 
incremented by every new processing of the data. The extensions will be .LOG

7.2.2.3.4. Data file formats Level 2 

7.2.2.3.4.1. Calibrated Doppler files D1X, D1S, D2X, D2S 

The calibrated Doppler files contain observed IFMS/TTCP sky frequency,
 X-band Doppler and S-band Doppler frequency shift, residual (computed using
 the predict file), and the differential Doppler. If only a single downlink
 frequency was used, a differential Doppler cannot be computed and was set
 to zero in the output file. The formats are shown in Table 7-6 and
 Table 7-7. 
  
7.2.2.3.4.2. Calibrated ranging files RGX and RGS (IFMS) and R1X/R2X and
             R1S/R2S (TTCP)

The level 2 ranging file contains the observed TWLT at X-band or S-band, the 
calibrated TWLT at X-band or S-band, the TWLT delay at X-band or S-band and
the differential TWLT. If only one frequency was used, the differential TWLT 
is set to -99999.9. The formats are shown in Table 7-8 and Table 7-9.

10.1.4. IFMS meteorological calibration

The meteorological file is the Level 1B (not for TTCP) IFMS output and describes the 
temperature, atmospheric pressure and humidity at the ground station site. The 
file is accompagnied by the IFMS configuration file *.CFG (see Appendix 14.1
 for content). Since the meteorological information is stored independently
 from doppler and ranging measurements, these files usually do not start and
 stop at the same time as a Doppler or range data file. That means that
 sometimes the meteorological data applicable for a Doppler or range
 data file has to be extracted from two files. 

10.1.4.1. File name format

The file name of the meteorological file is formatted according to section 5.1 
by setting the archiving level to lll = L1B , the file type to sss = MET, the 
file type is set to tltt = ICL1 or ICL2, depending on the uplinking IFMS and
 the ground station is gg = 32, 62 or 84.

10.1.5     CORRECTED UPLINK FREQUENCY

The wrong uplink frequency is sometimes provided in the IFMS/TTCP Level 1a Doppler
 Raw-Files coming from ESOC. The correct frequency will be calculated and
 corrected in Level 2 data files. The Level 1a file including the wrong
 frequency, the appropriate Level 2 file including the correct frequency, the
 wrong and correct frequency and the source file from which the correct
 frequency was derived are provided for each occurrence of this error in the
 folder UPLINK_FREQ_CORRECT in the CALIB directory.

10.2.5     Surface Reflection Filer Files

Surface Reflection Filter files (SRF) contain power spectra derived from noise 
measurements when the radio system was stable and there were no spacecraft 
ignals in the passband.  SRFs were derived separately for each receiver channel;
but the fact that the spectral characteristics of each receiver depended almost 
entirely on digital signal processing meant that there was little practical 
difference among channels when sampling rates (output bandwidths) were the same 
and the SRFs were interchangeable.

10.2.5.1   File name format

GNCs are ASCII files having names of the form

rggSUE0L02_SRF_yydddhhmm_qq.TAB

SRFs are ASCII PDS SPECTRUM objects with attached labels.
      
      
10.2.6     Bistatic Radar calibration log files

Bistatic radar calibration log files (BCL) contain system temperature 
calibration results. For each receiver channel the table includes the 
best estimate of system temperature with the antenna pointed to zenith 
(either pre- or post-cal, or a combination of both), the associated noise 
diode temperature, and the system temperature at the mid-point of the 
bistatic (surface) observation.  In general there is one set of four rows 
for each experiment - one for each receiver channel 
(X-band and S-band, right- and left-circular polarization). 
The table is cumulative, growing by four rows for each new observation. 
The Bistatic Radar Calibration files are produced by the Stanford 
University Element (SUE) under the direction of R.A. Simpson.

10.2.6.1 File name format

BCLs are ASCII files having names of the form

rggSUE0L1A_BCL_yydddhhmm_qq.TAB
  
Since these files are cumulative the first file from Stanford gets 
after renaming the sequence number _00 and when an updated BCL - 
usually after a new bistatic radar measurement - is received the new file
 will get the same file name as the first file but the sequence number is
 increased by one and so on. Utimately only the files with the higest 
version numbers will be archived since these contain the latest 
information. The extension is set to eee = TAB

10.2.6.2 File format

BCLSs are ASCII tabels with dettached labels.

12 Time standards and Formats

12.1. Time Standards

MaRS, RSI and VeRa data products make use of different Time and Reference 
systems. For our data processing and archiving the most important Time Systems 
are: 
  Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) 
  Ephemeris Time (ET) 
  
The scientific success of a Radio Science Experiment depends critically on a 
common understanding about the conventions for the reference and time systems. 
The following sections give an overview of the time standards necessary to 
understand the above mentioned Time Systems and to convert to other common
Time Systems. It should be noted that radio science data are generated and
recorded at ground stations. Thus the times given in the data and label
files are ground station and not onboard time. 

Note: In some equations the letters h, m, s or d are used. They refer to hour,
minute, second or day of the corresponding value.

  
12.1.1. Coordinated Universal Time (UTC)
  
Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) is obtained from atomic clocks running at the
same rate as TT (see section 13.1.3.3 ) or TAI (see section 13.1.3.2 ). The
 UTC time scale is always within 0.7 seconds of UT1 (see section 13.1.3.5 ).
 By the use of leap seconds, care is taken to ensure that this difference is
 never exceeded. However, because of the introduction of the leap seconds it
 becomes clear that this time scale is not steady. 
The International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) can add leap seconds and is 
normally doing this at the end of June or December of each year if necessary.
The actual UTC can only be determined for a previous point in time but 
predictions for the future are published by the IERS. This fact should be
 noted when future missions are planned on the base of the UTC time standard. 
UTC can be obtained by the difference of the predicted value DUT1 or the past
value (delta)UT between UT1 and UTC published in the IERS Bulletin A 
(http://maia.usno.navy.mil/) which contains previous leap seconds and 
predictions: 
UTC = UT1 - DUT1 or UTC = UT - (delta)UT 
  
This relation is needed to obtain UT1 (UT) from UTC. 
  
12.1.2. Dynamical Time Scale T_eph for the JPL DE405 Ephemeris
  
In a general relativistic framework, time is not an absolute quantity but 
depends on the location and motion of a clock. Therefor unlike UTC T_eph is
 not based on the rotation of the earth around its axis. T_eph refers to the
 center of mass of the solar system and is the independent variable of
 barycentric planetary ephemerides. It should be noted that during the
 years 1984 2003 the time scale of ephemerides referred to the barycenter of
 the solar system was the relativistic time scale Barycentric Dynamic Time TDB
 (see section 13.1.3.1). 
 From 2004 onwards this time scale for the
 JPL DE405 ephemeris will be replaced by T_eph. For practical purposes the
 length of the ephemeris second can be taken as equal to the length of the
 TDB second. T_eph is approximately equal to TDB, but not exactly. On the
 other hand, T_eph is mathematically and physically equivalent to the
 newly-defined TCB (see section 131.3.7), differing from it by only an
 offset and a constant rate. Within the accuracy required by MaRS, RSI and
 VeRa we use: T_eph ~ TDB. T_eph is then defined as seconds past J2000, with
 J2000 being 12 h, 1 January TDB. 

12.1.3. Other Time Standards
  
12.1.3.1. Barycentric Dynamic Time (TDB)
  
Since the differences compared to TT are fairly small, the corrections can be 
determined by the following approximation : 
 
TDB = TT + 0.001658*sin g + 0.000014*sin(2g) [s]

with g being the mean anomaly of the Earth in its orbit given by 
g=357.53 + 0.95856003*(JD(UT1)-2451545.0) [deg] 

12.1.3.2. International Atomic Time (TAI)

TAI provides the practical realization of a uniform time scale based on atomic 
clocks. This time is measured at the surface of the Earth. Since this time
 scale is a steady one, it differs from UTC by an integral number of leap
 seconds introduced up the current point in time: 

TAI = UTC + LS 

where LS is the number of leap seconds. The unit of TAI is the SI second.

12.1.3.3.Terrestrial Dynamic Time (TT)
  
Terrestial Time (TT) - formerly Terrestrial Dynamical Time (TDT) - is to be 
understood as time measured on the geoid. It has conceptionally a uniform time 
scale. TT is the independent variable of geocentric ephemerides. TT replaced 
Ephemeris Time (ET) in 1984. The difference between TT and the atomic time
 scale (TAI) is a constant value of 32.184 seconds: 
 
TT = TAI + 32.184 
  
One therefore obtains also the relationship: 
 
UTC = TT - 32.184 - LS 

TT does not take into account relativistic corrections. It is used as an 
independent argument of geocentric ephemeris. 
  
12.1.3.4. GMT (UT)
  
Time is traditionally measured in days of 86400 SI seconds. Each day has 24 
hours counted from 0 h at midnight. The motion of the real sun was replaced
 by the concept of a fictitious mean sun that moves uniformly in right
 ascension defining the Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or Universal Time (UT).
 Greenwich Mean Sidereal Time (GMST), however, is the Greenwich hour angle
 of the vernal equinox, i. e. it denotes the angle between mean vernal
 equinox of date and the Greenwich meridian. 
The mean vernal equinox is based on a reference system which takes into
 account the secular effects, i.e. the precession of the Earths equator but
 not periodic effects such as the nutation of the Earths axis. 
In terms of SI seconds, the length of a sidereal day (i. e. the Earths spin
period) amounts 23 h 56 m 4 s.091 +- 0 s.005 (corresponding to a factor 
1/1.00273790935) making it about four minutes shorter than a 24 h solar day. 
Hence, sidereal time and mean solar time have different rates. 


12.1.3.5. Universal Time (UT1)
  
Universal Time UT1 is the presently adopted realization of a mean solar time 
scale (constant average length of a solar day of 24 hours) with UT1 = UT. As
 a result, the length of one second of UT1 is not constant because of the
 apparent motion of the sun and the rotation of the Earth. UT1 is therefore
 defined as a function of sidereal time. 
For any particular day, 0 h UT1 is defined as the instant at which Greenwich 
Mean Sidereal Time (GMST) has the value: 

GMST(0h UT1) = 24110.54841 + 8640184.812866 * T_0 + 0.093104 * 
T_0exp(2) - 0.0000062 * T_0exp(3) [s]

For an arbitrary time of the day, the expression may be generalized to obtain
the Greenwich hour angle GHA by multiplying this time with the factor 
1.00273790935, adding this result to GMST and convert it into degrees (if so 
desired) 

GMST(UT1) = 24110.54841 + 8640184.812866 * T_0 + 1.00273790935 UT1 + 
0.093104 * Texp(2) - 0.0000062 * Texp(3) [s]

where T is the time in Julian centuries since the 1st of January 2000 , 12 h, 
i.e. 2000 Jan. 1.5 :  
 
T = (JD(UT1)-2451545)/36525 
 
and JD is the Julian Date. 
  
Ecliptic and Earth equator at 2000 Jan 1.5 define the J2000 system. 
  
The most useful relation for computer software is one that uses only JD (UT1):

GMST(degree) = 280.46061837 + 360.98564736629 x (JD-2451545.0) + 0.000387933 
Texp(2) - Texp(3) /38710000
 
The difference between UT1 and TT or TAI (atomic clock time, to be explained 
below) can only be determined retrospectively. This difference is announced by 
the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS) and is handled in practice by 
the implementation of leap seconds (maximum of two in one year). 
The above formulae contain implicitly the Earths mean angular rotation
omega in degrees per second [3.15]. 

Omega (rad/s)=(1.002737909350795 + 5.9006E-11 T - 5.9E-15 Texp(2)) * 2 PI/86400s 

  
12.1.3.6. Geocentric Coordinate Time (TCG)
  
Geocentric Coordinate Time TCG represents the time coordinate of a four 
dimensional reference system and differs from TT by a constant scale factor 
yielding the relation 
 
TCG = TT + L_G (JD-2443144.5) * 86400 s 
L_G = 6.9692903E-10 
  
For practical reasons this equation can also be put into the following
relation : 

TCG = TT + 2.2 s/cy * (year-1977.0) 
  
cy = century 
  
  
12.1.3.7. Barycentric Coordinate Time (TCB)
  
The Barycentric Coordinate Time TCB has been introduced to describe the motion 
of solar system objects in a non rotating relativistic frame centered at the 
solar system barycenter. TCB and TCG exhibit a rate difference which depends
 on the gravitational potential of the Sun at the mean Earth-Sun distance
 1 AU and the Earths orbital velocity. The accumulated TCB-TT time
 difference amounts to roughly 11 s around epoch J2000. 

TCB = TCG + L_C (JD-2443144.5) * 86400 s + P    (Mc Carthy 1996) 

and 
P approximately 

+0.0016568 s * sin(35999.37 degree T + 357.5 degree) 
+0.0000224 s * sin(32964.5 degree T + 246 degree)
+0.0000138 s * sin(71998.7 degree T + 355 degree) 
+0.0000048 s * sin(3034.9 degree T + 25 degree) 
+0.0000047 s * sin(34777.3 degree T + 230 degree) 

T = (JD-2451545.0)/36525
  
L_c = 1.4808268457E-8 
  
The largest contribution is given by the first term. When neglecting the other 
terms we can approximate P by: 
  
P = 0.001658 s sin(g) + 0.000014 s sin(2g) 


12.1.3.8. Julian Date (JD)
  
In astronomical computations, a continuous day count is used which avoids the 
usage of a calendar. The Julian Date (JD) is the number of days since noon 
January 1, 4712 BC including fractions of the day. 
  
12.1.3.9. Modified Julian Date (MJD)
  
Since the JD has become such a large number, the Modified Julian Date was 
introduced for convenience. JD was reset at November 17th 1858 which leads to 
the following equation : 

MJD = JD-2400000.5 days 
 
Note that the count for MJD starts at midnight. 
  


12.2. Time formats

12.2.1. ISO Time Format
  
In our data and label files we use UTC time to measure the time the data were 
recorded at the ground station in the PDS compliant ISO/DIS 8601 standard
 format CCYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.sss. (Example: 2004-06-21T025208.000 corresponds
 to the date 21.6.2004 and the time of day 2:52:08.000). 

12.2.2. Time in Fractions of Days of Year 
  
This is the UTC time in the format fraction of days of year starting with the 
first day of year the data was recorded at 00:00.000 UTC. (Example: 
2003-07-01T18:03:02.000 in ISO format corresponds to 182.752106 in fraction of 
days since the 1 st July was the 182th day of the year 2003.) This format is 
only used in the data files. 
  
12.2.3. Ephemeris Time Format
  
Ephemeris time is given in seconds starting with the 1st January 2000 at 
12:00:00.000 TDB (see also section 13.1.2).
