Project description
A supporting module for jplephem to handle data type 1
Compute position and velocity of a celestial small body, from a NASA SPICE SPK ephemeris kernel file of data type 1 (Modified Difference Arrays). http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/toolkit_docs/FORTRAN/req/spk.html
You can get SPK files for many solar system small bodies from HORIZONS system of NASA/JPL: http://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/x/spk.html
- Usage:
from spktype01 import SPKType01
kernel = SPKType01.open(‘path’)
position, velocity = kernel.compute_type01(center, target, jd)
- where:
center - SPKID of central body (10 for Sol)
target - SPKID of target body
jd - time for computation (Julian date)
