Sphere(name='VENUS', ...)
>>> # Flattening (Note Venus is a sphere)
>>> print("{:.5f}".format(VENUS.flattening))
0.00000
>>> # Radius
>>> print("{:.0f}".format(VENUS.semimajor_axis))
6051878
>>> # Geocentric gravitational constant (GM)
>>> print("{:.7e}".format(VENUS.geocentric_grav_const))
3.2485859e+14
>>> # Angular velocity
>>> print("{:.7e}".format(VENUS.angular_velocity))
