SPICE

This is the SPICE module. It contains code that uses NASA’s Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) SPICE (Spacecraft, Planet, Instrument, C-matrix, Events) Toolkit to help interpret IMAP science data. imap_processing does not directly interact with the SPICE Toolkit, but leverages the spiceypy python package which wraps the SPICE C library.

The imap_processing spice module contains functions for kernel management, time conversions, calculation of spacecraft and instrument geometry, and utilities for querying spin and pointing table data.

geometry	Functions for computing geometry, many of which use SPICEYPY.
kernels	Functions that generate, furnish, and retrieve metadata from SPICE kernels.
repoint	Functions for retrieving repointing table data.
spin	Functions for retrieving spin-table data.
time	Time conversion functions that rely on SPICEYPY.
