install_frame

sunpy.coordinates.spice.install_frame(spice_frame)

Install a specified SPICE frame.

Installing a SPICE frame creates a corresponding frame class. All frames defined in the kernel pool are already automatically installed in the call to initialize(), so this function is used to manually install built-in frames, namely inertial or body-fixed (PCK) frames. Some common built-in frames include ‘IAU_SUN’, ‘IAU_EARTH’, and ‘ITRF93’.

Parameters:

spice_frame (str, int) – The SPICE frame name or frame ID to be installed.
