Wrapper around the NAIF cspice API, which is an observation geometry information system used in the planetary sciences and astro community. NO warranty, Spice.jl is not an official product of JPL. http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/
Spice.jl only supports 64 bit OSX or Linux.
##Installation First, clone the package from github. Then you need a one time installation of the cspice API. To do so start a Julia REPL session and type:
Pkg.clone("https://github.com/abieler/Spice.jl.git")
using Spice
init_spice()
This will download the spice api and compile the a shared library which is then called by the Spice.jl scipt. Currently only a very limited set of cspice functions is available but I plan on constantly expand this list. If you have a specific function in mind which should be available feel free to open an issue.
