Minor Planet Center orbital element export format now supported

Item posted by Shiva Iyer <shivaiyer> on Mon 15 Mar 2010 08:12:25 PM UTC.

kepler now has the ability to parse the orbital elements for minor planets and comets that are published as a series of text files by the Minor Planet Center.

The relevant functions can be found in mpc_file.c. kepler_test.c shows one way these functions may be used.

You can download the export files from http://www.cfa.harvard.edu/iau/Ephemerides/Soft00.html

As always, let me know if you have any comments or questions.

Best wishes,

Shiva
