Telemetry Metadata File

The telemetry metadata file is a new convention that was conceived during the MOMA project. Its main purpose is to store metadata about a telemetry file. However, its purpose may be extended in the future to include post processed data and perhaps other information. The original goal was to provide the ability to distinguish between the various instrument models. In other missions the file extension was used to determine the model, but after the patch file mechanism was adopted we lost this capability.

All versions will have their GSE metadata stored in the gse key. This allows us to easily add/remove/modify top level keys without breaking backwards compatibility and to also differentiate between items that are not necessarily GSE metadata.
