定价
- 免费
- Provides access to the highly accurate and extensively validated NASA SPICE toolkit, essential for space mission design and analysis, comprehensive set of astrodynamics and geometry functions, good documentation and community support.
- Steep learning curve due to the complexity of the SPICE toolkit and its concepts (kernels,frames,etc.), requires downloading and managing SPICE kernels, API is a direct wrap of the C library, so can be less Pythonic in places.
最适合：
- Aerospace engineers, planetary scientists, and astronomers working on space mission design, navigation, observation planning, and scientific data analysis requiring precise geometric information.
