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, and calculation of spacecraft and instrument geometry.

kernels	Functions that generate, furnish, and retrieve metadata from SPICE kernels.
geometry	Functions for computing geometry, many of which use SPICE.
time	Time conversion functions that rely on SPICE.
