To access the initial velocity data from an Asteroid SPK file using CSpice, you will need to use the spkgeo_c function. This function takes in the SPK file name, target body ID, and the time of interest as inputs and returns the state vector, which includes the initial velocity, of the target body at that time.
Yes, you can change the initial velocity data in an Asteroid SPK file using CSpice. You will need to use the spkgeo_c function to retrieve the state vector, modify the velocity component, and then use the spkw08_c function to write the updated state vector back into the SPK file.
Yes, in addition to the SPK file, you will also need the target body ID and the time of interest in order to change the initial velocity in an Asteroid SPK file using CSpice.
There is no limit to how much you can change the initial velocity in an Asteroid SPK file using CSpice. However, it is important to ensure that the new velocity values make physical sense and do not result in unrealistic trajectories.
Yes, you can use CSpice to change the initial velocity of multiple asteroids in an SPK file at once. You will need to loop through each asteroid and use the spkgeo_c and spkw08_c functions to retrieve and update the state vectors for each asteroid.
