spice_ephemeris Derived Type

type, public, extends(ephemeris_class) :: spice_ephemeris

Main class for accessing the SPICE ephemeris system.

Note: SPICE is not object-oriented or threadsafe. So, while this class provides an object-oriented like interface to SPICE, it should really be treated as a singleton.
