Solar Orbiter Trajectory example using SpiceyPy

This gist gives some example of how to use SpiceyPy to plot the trajectory of Solar Orbiter, using SPICE kernels provided via ESA COSMOS. The notebook was written by Laura Hayes, this gist is just a fork of the original https://gist.github.com/hayesla/5833aa84075fe0010073f2f6c2a86623. The additional files enable it to be run with Binder.

It provides the following additional files:

• requirements.txt to install the required Python packages
• apt.txt to install FFmpeg via APT for rendering
• postBuild, a script to download the SPICE kernels from ESA COSMOS so that they are available inside the notebook

Try it out!
