Description: HelioSat (ver 0.6.0)
        ========
        
        A simple and small python package for handling and processing heliospheric satellite data. The current primary features are automatic data downloading & crude processing for Bepi, DSCOVR, PSP, SolO, STA, STB,and Wind. Furthermore all related and required SPICE kernels are downloaded automatically.
        
        Installation
        ------------
        
        Install the latest version manually using `git`:
        
            git clone https://github.com/ajefweiss/HelioSat
            cd HelioSat
            pip install .
        
        or slightly older versions from PyPi with `pip install HelioSat`.
        
        Basic Usage
        -----------
        
        Import the `heliosat` module and create a satellite instance:
        
            import heliosat
        
            wind_sat = heliosat.WIND()
        
        This will automatically download and load any required SPICE kernels (using `spiceypy`). Note that
        kernel or data files will be stored in `~/.heliosat` by default. As this may use up alot of disk
        space you can alternatively change the default path by setting the environment variable `HELIOSAT_DATAPATH`.
        
        Querying data (any tz-unaware datetime objects are assumed to be UTC) can then be done using:
        
            t_query = ["2020-01-01T00:00:00"]
            wind_t, wind_data = wind_sat.get(t_query, "mfi_h0", frame="GSE", return_datetimes=True)
        
        By default only values at given datetimes are returned, if you need a time range you can either manually generate an extensive list of dates or use:
        
            t_query = ["2020-01-01T00:00:00", "2020-01-02T00:00:00"]
            wind_t, wind_data = wind_sat.get(t_query, "mfi_h0", as_endpoints=True, frame="GSE", return_datetimes=True)
