Abstract:
SPICE1 [1] is an information system providing space scientists ready access to a wide assortment of space geometry useful in planning science observations and analyzing the instrument data returned therefrom. The system includes software used to compute many derived parameters such as altitude, LAT/LON and lighting angles, and software able to find when userspecified geometric conditions are obtained. While not a formal standard, it has achieved widespread use in the worldwide planetary science community
