SPICE is a Space Geometrical data & modular toolkit containing Spacecraft, Planet, Instrument, C-matrix, Events (SPICE). It is developed by NAIF at NASA in the US. It is the interspace standard for Space Research and Mathematical Observations.
🎉 SPICE ns is a modular extention for deep space networks simulations under ns3, The project basic document is available in the Github: @SPICE-ns-Project
🚧 Note: The SPICE ns currently under development and are not ready for public distribution. This is a work in progress, and certain features may not be fully implemented or tested. Any use or distribution of the code is discouraged until an official release is made.
🚀 Project Status: As a first step, we have successfully implemented a mobility model for SPICE-ns.(submitted for wns3 2024)
📊 Meantime, one can check some of the preliminary results in Outputs Folder.
📜 Declaration: We are actively processing an application for getting a grant to support the future development of SPICE-ns. Consequently, the source code for SPICE-ns, inclusive of the grantor's affiliation, will soon be made accessible on this page.
🎯 Long-term Goal: The long-term goal of this project is to develop a complete extension called 'SPICE-ns' for ns-3 to perform DSN/DTN simulations.
In the future, we plan to incrementally implement other aspects necessary to simulate a complete DSN/DTN.
