Importing ASCII ephemeris file

[schaubh]

Hi,

I'm still a rather new user of Basilisk so I'm not sure if this is a trivial question.

I'm trying to import an ASCII ephemeris file but it seems at least from the example scenarios I have used that I can only import SPICE files. Is this accurate, or is there a method for importing existing ephemeris files?

My end goal for this task is being able to input an ephemeris file and simulate a spacecraft following that trajectory.

Thanks!

Currently there is only spiceInterface module that loads ephemeris from spice kernels. You can specify planet ephemeris directly using the planetEphemeris module. To load from your ASCII file you would have to write your own module for that.
