- NASA’s Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) offers NASA flight projects and NASA funded researchers an observation geometry information system named “SPICE” to assist scientists in planning and interpreting scientific observations from space-based instruments aboard robotic planetary spacecraft. SPICE is also widely used in engineering tasks associated with these missions.
