<p class="MsoNormal">A SPICE beginner’s training class will be hosted by Arizona State University on May 26/27, 2020. An estimated 15 - 20 seats will be available. If you are interested in being kept aware of this opportunity, please send email to the NAIF
manager, Charles Acton: charles.h.acton (at) jpl.nasa.gov. This class is expected to be somewhat similar to the traditional training classes offered by NAIF except that it will be compressed into two days. The exact topics to be covered are TBD.
