Guide
archtype.exe ARCHTYPE is a command-line program that displays the architecture and type of a specified SPICE kernel file. txt
bff.exe BFF is a command line program that displays the binary file format ID for one or more binary kernel files. txt
bingo.exe BINGO is a command line program that converts SPICE binary kernels between IEEE and PC binary formats and converts SPICE text kernels between UNIX and DOS text file formats. txt
brief.exe BRIEF is a command-line utility program that displays a contents and time coverage summary for one or more binary SPK or binary PCK files. txt
bspidmod.exe BSPMODID is a command-line program that allows users to alter the body ID in a binary SPK (bsp) file. txt
chronos.exe CHRONOS is a command-line program that converts between several time systems and time formats. txt
ckbrief.exe CKBRIEF is a command-line utility program that displays a contents and time coverage summary for one or more binary CK files. txt
ckslicer.exe CKSLICER is a command-line program that subsets a CK file into another CK file. txt
cksmrg.exe CKSMRG is a command-line program that merges segments in Type 3 CK files. txt
ckspanit.exe CKSPANIT is a command-line program that modifies interpolation interval information stored in the segments of a Type 3 CK file. It can also be used to convert a Type 1 CK file to a Type 3 CK file, or from a Type 1 or Type 3 CK file to a Type 2 CK file. txt
commnt.exe COMMNT is a command-line program that reads, adds, extracts, or deletes comments from SPICE binary kernel files. txt
dafcat.exe DAFCAT is a command-line utility program that concatenates together SPICE DAF files of the same type. txt
dafmod.exe DAFMOD is an interactive program that modifies various segment attributes of a DAF based kernel -- SPK, CK, or binary PCK. txt
frmdiff.exe FRMDIFF is a program that samples orientation of a reference frame known to SPICE or computes differences between orientations of two reference frames known to SPICE, and either displays this orientation or these differences, or shows statistics about it or them. txt
inspekt.exe INSPEKT is an interactive program that examines the contents of an events component (ESQ) of an E-kernel. txt
makclk.exe MAKCLK is a program that converts a SCLKSCET (also known as SCLKvSCET) file to a SPICE spacecraft clock (SCLK) kernel file. txt
maklabel.exe MAKLABEL is a program that generates PDS and SFDU-style ``keyword equals value'' labels for SPICE kernel files. txt
mkspk.exe MKSPK is a program that creates an SPK file from a text file containing trajectory information. txt
msopck.exe MSOPCK is a command-line program that converts attitude data provided in a text file as UTC, SCLK, or ET-tagged quaternions, Euler angles, or matrices, optionally accompanied by angular velocities, into a type 1, 2, or 3 SPICE C-kernel. txt
optiks.exe OPTIKS is a program that computes field of view information associated with a collection of instrument and frame kernels. txt
orbnum.exe ORBNUM is a program that creates an ASCII orbit number table file for a spacecraft, keyed on the time of local apoapsis, periapsis, descending, or ascending node passage. txt
pinpoint.exe PINPOINT is a program that creates SPK files containing fixed or slowly changing locations of objects -- landmarks on the surface of celestial bodies, offsets between manipulator joints, etc. PINPOINT optionally creates topocentric frame kernels for these objects. txt
prediCkt.exe prediCkt is a program that creates C-kernels (usually predict C-kernels) for orientations that can be described by a set of simple geometric descriptions. txt
spacit.exe SPACIT is an interactive program that converts kernels in transfer format to binary format, converts binary kernels to transfer format, and summarizes the contents of binary kernels. txt
spkdiff.exe SPKDIFF is a program that computes differences between geometric states obtained from two SPK files and either displays these differences or shows statistics about them. txt
spkmerge.exe SPKMERGE is a program that subsets or merges one or more SPK files into a single SPK file. txt
spy.exe Spy is a command-driven utility for validating, inspecting, and analyzing SPK files. txt
starsb.exe STARSB is a program that creates a SPICE type 1 star catalog from a ``master star catalog.'' txt
tobin.exe TOBIN is a command-line program that converts transfer format SPK, CK and EK files to binary format. txt
toxfr.exe TOXFR is a command-line program that converts binary format SPK, CK and EK files to transfer format. txt
