+  abstract = {NASA's New Horizons spacecraft will conduct a close flyby of the cold classical Kuiper Belt Object (KBO) designated (486958) 2014 MU69 on January 1, 2019. At a heliocentric distance of 44 AU, "MU69" will be the most distant object ever visited by a spacecraft. To enable this flyby, we have developed an extremely high precision orbit fitting and uncertainty processing pipeline, making maximal use of the Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 (WFC3) and pre-release versions of the ESA Gaia Data Release 2 (DR2) catalog. This pipeline also enabled successful predictions of a stellar occultation by MU69 in July 2017. We describe how we process the WFC3 images to match the Gaia DR2 catalog, extract positional uncertainties for this extremely faint target (typically 140 photons per WFC3 exposure), and translate those uncertainties into probability distribution functions for MU69 at any given time. We also describe how we use these uncertainties to guide New Horizons, plan stellar occultions of MU69, and derive MU69's orbital evolution and long-term stability.},

+  abstract = {The “SPICE” system1 has been widely used since the days of the Magellan mission to Venus as the method for scientists and engineers to access a variety of space mission geometry such as positions, velocities, directions, orientations, sizes and shapes, and field-of-view projections (Acton, 1996). While originally focused on supporting NASA's planetary missions, the use of SPICE has slowly grown to include most worldwide planetary missions, and it has also been finding application in heliophysics and other space science disciplines. This paper peeks under the covers to see what new capabilities are being developed or planned at SPICE headquarters to better support the future of space science. The SPICE system is implemented and maintained by NASA's Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF) located at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California (http://naif.jpl.nasa.gov).},

+# Statement of Need
+
+Operating in space necessitates quantifying the positions, velocities, geometries, and other properties of spacecraft and planetary
+ bodies through time. 
+Scientists and engineers working with robotic planetary spacecraft missions use the Spacecraft, Planet, Instrument, Camera-matrix, Events
+ (SPICE) Toolkit [@acton:2018] to help plan observations and to quantify the positions of planetary bodies and spacecraft through time. 
+SPICE is developed at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory by NASA's Navigation and Ancillary Information Facility (NAIF). Scientists also use
+ SPICE to analyze data returned by these missions and to plan hypothetical orbital trajectories for future missions [@acton:2018]. 
+For example, SPICE can calculate future occultations of planets relative to a camera in a rover or spacecraft. 
+The NAIF provides SPICE in Fortran 77, C, and they also provide Matlab and IDL wrappers; however, as of 2014, they did not offer a Python
+ interface. 
+The growth of Python and movement away from proprietary interpreted languages [@burrell:2018] motivated the development of SpiceyPy so
+ that planetary scientists and engineers can use SPICE within Python. 
+
+# Summary
+
+``SpiceyPy`` is an open-source, MIT licensed Python package that provides a ``pythonic`` interface to nearly all of the C SPICE toolkit N66. 
+``SpiceyPy`` was developed in Python using the ``ctypes`` module of the CPython standard library to wrap the underlying C SPICE shared library. 
+Developing ``SpiceyPy`` in Python enabled the SpiceyPy API to expose simplified and more ``pythonic`` interactions with the underlying C API for SPICE.
+``SpiceyPy`` relies on the NumPy library for numeric arrays and tight integration with the SciPy stack.
+
+``SpiceyPy`` is extensively tested using a combination of unit and integration tests, which run using continuous integration services. 
+The tests also serve as code examples translated from the NAIF documentation. 
+Continuous deployment updates documentation and deploys artifacts of releases to PyPI and the conda-forge. 
+Every SPICE function wrapper in SpiceyPy contains docstrings that provide short descriptions of the function duplicated from the SPICE
+ documentation. 
+Docstrings in SpiceyPy also contain links to the corresponding CSPICE documentation page hosted by the NAIF to provide additional details
+ regarding the function. 
+
+``SpiceyPy`` enables scientists to utilize the full functionality of SPICE within Python and the ecosystem of visualization and
+ scientific packages available. 
+``SpiceyPy`` has been utilized in peer-reviewed research [@behar:2016; @behar:2017; @porter:2018; @zangari:2018; @attree:2019;], masters
+ and doctoral theses [@hackett:2019; @albin:2019], spacecraft mission operations, as a dependency in other python libraries [@heliopy:2019
+ ], and for a variety of other projects [@wilson:2016; @wilson_times:2017; @costa:2018].
