EPH-1 ephemerides generator This is a web interface to the EPH program, that was written originally by R.M West, with additions by O.Hainaut. It uses routines from JPL, USNO, Keesey, Yeomans, Meeus, and others. Obviously, use this at your own risk. For instance, for interplanetary navigation, I recommend you check out Horizon, the JPL ephemerides generator, or the Minor Planet Center's ephemerides generator. THEY know what they are doing.

This version uses updated element files from MPC

Observatory:

Asteroids, Comets.
Object: (Format: Comets: 0001P or C/1995 O1; asteroids: 2060 or 1994 TG2. Numbered Asteroids will not be found using their temporary designation; refer, e.g. to the list of TNOs or the list of Centaurs. )

Start UT date (YMD HHMM):
End UT date (YMD HHMM):
Time step (in days, or append h for hours)

All output, Only when object is visible.

This is the status of the current orbit database:
