JPL SPICE usage #48

voldyy commented 8 years ago

I understand that JPL SPICE has been integrated into the latest version of PyKEP. How do I call SPICE functions. For example, say I want to load in a .bsp file using str2et. Is it possible to call this function using any tools from PyKEP?

Docs are missing on the spice integration. Next update should take care of that.

In the meantime time you can look athttps://github.com/esa/pykep/blob/master/PyKEP/util/util.cpp And find the spice function or read the docs returned by python for the planet spice

Only ephemerides are exposed .... All other spice functions are not.
