Synopsis
NASA's Satellite Situation Center
(SSC) is a system to cast geocentric spacecraft location information
into a framework of (empirical) geophysical regions and mappings of
spacecraft locations along lines of the Earth's magnetic field.
This library implements the client side of the
SSC RESTful web services.
Code Example
This package contains example code calling most of the available web services. To run the included example, do the following
python -m sscws
This "Getting Started" page contains information to help someone begin using the sscws library to access information from the Satellite Situation Center in a Python program.
Also, the following Jupyter notebooks demonstrate different features of the library:
- Simple Location Example (ipynb file)demonstrating a simple 3D plot of orbit information.
- Complex Location Example (ipynb file) requesting many values including magnetic field line tracing. This example also demonstrates how to diagnose a problem with an invalid request.
- Radial Conjunction With Ground Location (ipynb file).
- Magnetic Field Line Conjunction Example (ipynb file) with related data retrieval/plotting using cdasws.
These notebooks are also available on Binder.
Motivation
This library hides the HTTP, JSON/XML, and CDF details of the SSC web services. A python developer only has to deal with python objects and methods.
Dependencies
The only required dependencies are the following:
If you want to take advantage of HTTP caching, then install the following:
If you want the example to display a plot of some data, then install the following:
The critical dependencies above will automatically be installed when this library is.
Installation
To install this package
$ pip install -U sscws
or to include the optional packages
$ pip install -U sscws[plot,cache]
API Reference
Refer to sscws package API reference
