Next, the unit sends 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.
