Parse formatted string in Golang

I'm trying to parse a GNSS RINEX file using Golang.

For example, here's the RINEX specification for the VERSION line:

+--------------------+------------------------------------------+------------+
|RINEX VERSION / TYPE| - Format version (2.11)                  | F9.2,11X,  |
|                    | - File type ('O' for Observation Data)   |   A1,19X,  |
|                    | - Satellite System: blank or 'G': GPS    |   A1,19X   |
|                    |                     'R': GLONASS         |            |
|                    |                     'S': Geostationary   |            |
|                    |                          signal payload  |            |
|                    |                     'E': Galileo         |            |
|                    |                     'M': Mixed           |            |
+--------------------+------------------------------------------+------------+

Each line in a RINEX file has a fixed width of 80 ASCII characters + "\n". In this example the first 9 characters represent the version number (float).

In Python I might use:

struct.unpack("9s11s1s19s1s19s20s", line)

which would return a tuple with 7 strings.

I'm new to go and have been trying to use fmt.Sscanf for reading formatted text:

func main() {
    str := "     2.11           OBSERVATION DATA    G (GPS)             RINEX VERSION / TYPE\n"
    var value float32
    a, err := fmt.Sscanf(str,"%9.2f", &value)
    fmt.Println(a)
    fmt.Println(err)
    fmt.Println(value)
}

returns:

0
bad verb %. for float32
0

Is there any package in go that permits parsing of fixed width data?

And if not, what might be a good approach for writing something similar to Python's struct?

For example,

package main

import (
	"errors"
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
	"strings"
)

// http://gage14.upc.es/gLAB/HTML/LaunchHTML.html
// http://gage14.upc.es/gLAB/HTML/Observation_Rinex_v2.11.html

func parseVersionType(line string) (version float64, fileType, satellite, label string, err error) {
	label = line[60:80]
	if label != "RINEX VERSION / TYPE" {
		err = errors.New("Unknown header label")
		return
	}
	version, err = strconv.ParseFloat(strings.TrimSpace(line[0:9]), 64)
	if err != nil {
		return
	}
	fileType = line[20:21]
	satellite = line[40:41]
	return
}

func main() {
	line := "     2.11           OBSERVATION DATA    G (GPS)             RINEX VERSION / TYPE\n"
	version, fileType, satellite, label, err := parseVersionType(line)
	fmt.Printf("%g %q %q %q %v\n", version, fileType, satellite, label, err)
}

Output:

2.11 "O" "G" "RINEX VERSION / TYPE" <nil>
