SpaceTeamsPro Planet Data Tools

This repo contains tools for the reprojection of georeferenced celestial body data into 6-sided gnomonic, the projection that Space Teams Pro uses for its celestial body rendering.

The proj folder contains the WKT-format projection definitions we're using for 6-sided gnomonic for each of the celestial bodies.

Data_Downloader.py downloads the planet data from the source websites, and Data_Preprocessor.py does the reprojection. Data_Downloader.py relies upon somewhat unreliable web downloads; we internally have a mirror of all of these datasets.
