Ensure that ephemeris data are accurate #245

@taldcroft

Description

@taldcroft

Currently the cheta sync version of ephemeris data is a bit broken:

  • Full resolution includes duplicate data where time jumps backward [1].
  • 5-minute stats don't go into the future, I think.

[1]: When a new ephemeris file is generated, it overlaps with existing old data. The older data are set to have bad values so that fetch.Msid does the right thing. But cheta sync just goes forward and there is currently no way to backfill the bad values.

One potentially easy solution is to rsync the ephemeris data directories by putting them into ska_sync and not sync via cheta_sync.

I know @matthewdahmer has had some experience in this regard, and I ran into a problem today.
