Constants
Per-body parameters from NAIF SPICE PCK kernels and NASA NSSDC fact sheets, plus thin re-exports of astropy’s fundamental physics constants. The generated iau2009 / iau2015 modules each hold ~145 Body instances and are intentionally not auto-documented here — see the source for the per-body listing.
| constants | One-stop constants for planetary work. |
| constants.base | Foundation classes for planetarypy.constants. |
| constants.nssdc | NSSDC Planetary Fact Sheet values, time-indexed. |
Instruments
| instruments.go.ssi | |
| instruments.utils | Backward-compatible shim. |
