IntegratingSPICEintoWolframLanguage:CStyleMyWolframSummerSchoolprojectisanexploratoryproofofconceptprojectofintegratingdatafromJetPropulsionLaboratory'sSPICEAPIintoMathematica. The SPICE API is a framework developed by Jet Propulsion Laboratory that serves as a platform for reading,analyzing, calculating, and predicting data from space. SPICE is used at the highest levels of space science, and its capability is unparalleled in the field. This project explores on how to integrate SPICE into Mathematica-specifically integrating CSPICE into Mathematica (written in the C language). I have written 5 functions in C that I compiled into a Dynamic Library. These functions get linked onto symbolic expressions in the Wolfram Language through LibraryLink functionality. Using these 5 basic functions and data from the Cassini Orbiter, I constructed a graphical visualization of the spacecraft’s flight path from beginning to end.
