The IESS Epoch defines the time instant at the start of the
period of the IESS data. The IESS Minutes Interval defines the
period in minutes between pointing updates in Program Track
mode. The IESS Days Validity (normally 7) defines the period
of validity of the data. The INTRAC will accept and use the
data two days either side of the validity period.
The parameters IESS Sat (LM0, LM1, LM2, LONC, LONC1,
LONS, LONS1, LATC, LATC1, LATS, LATS1) are the IESS-
412 11-element ephemeris. The parameters IESS Sat
(LONG170, LAT170) are the IESS-412 11-element ephemeris
170hr parity check.
