KPL/FK This is the initial frame kernel for the Solar Probe Plus spacecraft. It contains only the information necessary to link the spacecraft and solar panel frames into the SPICE frame system. Instrument information will be added at a later time.

The reference angle is nominally 90 degree and the reference axis is nominally the sapcecraft -X axis. [X] [ 0 0 -1 ] [X] [Y] = [ 0 -1 0 ] [Y] [Z]S/C [ -1 0 0 ] [Z]HGA A more general representation of the transormation for a specified rotation angle about the gimbal axis is: [X] [ -cos(s) 0 -sin(s) ] [X] [Y] = [ 0 -1 0 ] [Y] [Z]S/C [ -sin(s) 0 cos(s) ] [Z]HGA where s varires between 45 degree and 135 degree as the antenna rotates about the -Y axis.
