Next, the unit will send the specified number of packets containing the ephemeris information. An example packet is
shown below. Each packet should be acknowledged as before (be sure to modify the ACK packet to indicate what
type of packet being acknowledged. For ephemeris data, the ID is 0x35).

The data portion of each packet can then be parsed into an instance of the following structure. Each of these
structures represents data from a single satellite.
typedef struct /* ephemeris data record for SPC */

float toc; /* reference time of clock parameters (s) */
float toe; /* reference time of ephemeris parameters (s) */
