Earth Mean Equator and Equinox
</fullname>
<description>
The Earth Mean Equator and Equinox of Date frame is defined as follows:
- +Z axis is aligned with the north-pointing vector normal to the
mean equatorial plane of the Earth;
- +X axis points along the ``mean equinox'', which is defined as the
intersection of the Earth's mean orbital plane with the Earth's mean
equatorial plane. It is aligned with the cross product of the
north-pointing vectors normal to the Earth's mean equator and mean
orbit plane of date;
- +Y axis is the cross product of the Z and X axes and completes the
right-handed frame;
- the origin of this frame is the Earth's center of mass.
The mathematical model used to obtain the orientation of the Earth's mean
equator and equinox of date frame is the 1976 IAU precession model, built
into SPICE.
The base frame for the 1976 IAU precession model is J2000.

Venus Mean Equator
</fullname>
<description>
The Venus Mean Equatorial of Date frame (also known as Venus Mean
Equator and IAU vector of Date frame) is defined as follows :
- X-Y plane is defined by the Venus equator of date, and
the +Z axis is parallel to the Venus' rotation axis of date,
pointing toward the North side of the invariant plane;
- +X axis is defined by the intersection of the Venus' equator
of date with the Earth Mean Equator of J2000;
- +Y axis completes the right-handed system;
- the origin of this frame is Venus' center of mass.
All vectors are geometric: no corrections are used.

<description>
The Mars Mean Equator of Date frame (also known as Mars Mean Equator
and IAU vector of Date frame) is defined as follows :
- X-Y plane is defined by the Mars equator of date: the
+Z axis, primary vector, is parallel to the Mars' rotation
axis of date, pointing toward the North side of the invariant
plane;
- +X axis is defined by the intersection of the Mars' equator of
date with the J2000 equator;
- +Y axis completes the right-handed system;
- the origin of this frame is Mars' center of mass.

Geomagnetic coordinate system
</fullname>
<description>
MAG Frame: from http://rbsp.space.umn.edu/data/rbsp/teams/spice/fk/rbsp_general011.tf
---------------------------------------------------------
Definition :
Geomagnetic - geocentric. Z axis is parallel to the geomagnetic
dipole axis, positive north. X is in the plane defined by the Z axis
and the Earth's rotation axis. If N is a unit vector from the Earth's
center to the north geographic pole, the signs of the X and Y axes are
given by Y = N x Z, X = Y x Z.. See Russell, 1971
The implementation of this frame is complicated in that the definition
of the IGRF dipole is a function of time and the IGRF model cannot be
directly incorporated into Spice. However, Spice does allow one to define
time dependent Euler angles. Meaning, you can define an Euler angle
that rotates GEO to MAG for a given ephemeris time t:
V = r(t) * V
GEI MAG
where r(t) is a time dependent Euler angle representation of a
rotation. Spice allows for the time dependence to be represented by a
polynomial expansion. This expansion can be fit using the IGRF model,
thus representing the IGRF dipole axis.
IGRF-11 (the 11th version) was fit for the period of 1990-2020, which
should encompass the mission and will also make this kernel useful for
performing Magnetic dipole frame transformations for the 1990's and
the 2000's. However, IGRF-11 is not as accurate for this entire time
interval. The years between 1945-2005 are labeled definitive, although
only back to 1990 was used in the polynomial fit. 2005-2010 is
provisional, and may change with IGRF-12. 2010-2015 was only a
prediction. Beyond 2015, the predict is so far in the future as to not
be valid. So to make the polynomials behave nicely in this region (in
case someone does try to use this frame during that time), the
2015 prediction was extended until 2020. So for low precision, this
kernel can be used for the years 2015-2020. Any times less than 1990
and greater than 2020 were not used in the fit, and therefore may be
vastly incorrect as the polynomials may diverge outside of this region.
These coefficients will be refit when IGRF-12 is released.
Also, since the rest of the magnetic dipole frames are defined from
this one, similar time ranges should be used for those frames.
Definitive Provisional Predict Not Valid
|------------------------------|+++++++++++|###########|???????????|
1990 2005 2010 2015 2020
In addition to the error inherit in the model itself, the polynomial
expansion cannot perfectly be fit the IGRF dipole. The maximum error
on the fit is .2 milliradians, or .01 degrees.
The MAG frame is achieved by first rotating the GEO frame about Z by
the longitude degrees, and then rotating about the Y axis by the
amount of latitude. This matches the new frame to Russell's definition.

Solar Magnetic - A geocentric coordinate system where the
Z axis is northward along Earth's dipole axis,

See Russell, 1971.
Thus, this is much like GSM, except that now the +Z axis is the
primary, meaning it is parallel to the dipole vector, and +X is the
secondary. Since the X-Z plane is the same as GSM's X-Z plane, the Y
axis is the same as GSM.

The Earth Mean Ecliptic and Equinox of Date frame is defined as follows:
- +Z axis is aligned with the north-pointing vector normal to the
mean orbital plane of the Earth;
- +X axis points along the ``mean equinox'', which is defined as the
intersection of the Earth's mean orbital plane with the Earth's mean
equatorial plane. It is aligned with the cross product of the
north-pointing vectors normal to the Earth's mean equator and mean
orbit plane of date;
- +Y axis is the cross product of the Z and X axes and completes the

The mathematical model used to obtain the orientation of the Earth's mean
equator and equinox of date frame is the 1976 IAU precession model, built
into SPICE.
The mathematical model used to obtain the mean orbital plane of the Earth
is the 1980 IAU obliquity model, also built into SPICE.
The base frame for the 1976 IAU precession model is J2000.

<description>
The Uranus-centric Solar Orbital frame is defined as follows:
- The position of the Sun relative to Uranus is the primary vector:
+X axis points from Uranus to the Sun;
- The inertially referenced velocity of the Sun relative to Uranus
is the secondary vector: +Y axis is the component of this
velocity vector orthogonal to the +X axis;
- +Z axis completes the right-handed system;
- the origin of this frame is Uranus center of mass.
All vectors are geometric: no corrections are used.

Comet frames are defined as a two-vector style dynamic frames as follows:
- The position of the sun relative to the comet is the primary
vector: the X axis points from the comet to the sun.
- The inertially referenced velocity of the sun relative to the
comet is the secondary vector: the Y axis is the component of
this velocity vector orthogonal to the X axis.
- The Z axis is X cross Y, completing the right-handed reference
