From d.stansby at ucl.ac.uk Tue Jan 4 02:55:34 2022 From: d.stansby at ucl.ac.uk (Stansby, David) Date: Tue, 4 Jan 2022 10:55:34 +0000 Subject: [Spice_discussion] New Python package for interfacing SPICE with astropy: astrospice Message-ID: Hi all, In the last couple of months I have been working on a new python package, that has two main aims: * Allow easy discovery and download of spice kernel SPK sets for different missions * Allow easy generation of astropy coordinate objects from SPICE kernels As far as I know such a high level interface between SPICE kernels and astropy coordinates does not exist elsewhere. If it does I would be very grateful to be corrected! This new package is called ?astrospice?, and documentation is available here: https://urldefense.us/v3/__https://astrospice.readthedocs.io/en/latest/__;!!PvBDto6Hs4WbVuu7!Zdk7pnIFtX8BCnrhj1xJ-nhGgDZn1XaeysAiJoRgoy_oNkq_-40KaOqBLS58fvAxsSpCF_PWJjZBGA$ I would be very interested in any feedback anyone has on the package ? e.g. is it laid out sensibly, do the docs make sense? I guess this is also an advert for the new package. It is in a working state, and I intend to add more data sources to it over the coming weeks.
