A Quorum Qtrack 16-bit HRPT file begins with two header frames. The first is an "ephemeris data" frame, containing the satellite name and orbital element values. The second is a "start data time stamp" frame, containing the time of image acquisition to the nearest second. The information in these two frames is extracted and placed into a text segment by FIMPORT. The third and subsequent frames in a Quorum file are treated as HRPT scanline frames. FIMPORT does not recognize resync frames in a Quorum file.
The Quorum format does not have Earth location information, hence, FIMPORT does not create a GCP segment for this format.
