Hello folks,

while I am writing code for Phoenix (nearly done) I wanted some spacecraft event timestamp for the moment of touchdown. I couldn't find one.
So, I made one.
The image I am posting has a Phoenix filename and the spacecraft clock is the time for the moment of touchdown, the other info in the filename is of course ficticious, the Surface Stereo Imager obviously didn't make this image.

I made it for myself and anyone else interested in testing their own software decoder for Phoenix filenames and date/times.

896226832 is the timestamp value for the moment of touchdown.
The spacecraft clock represents Earth seconds and zero represents midnight January 1 1980.
