What are the data sources of RoboOrbits
The data sources used by RoboData are all online and depend on the type of Dynamic Target you are interested in.
For comets, the data is downloaded from the system directly from the link https://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/MPCORB/CometEls.txt
For asteroids the data is downloaded from the system directly from the link https://ftp.lowell.edu/pub/elgb/astorb.dat
The data, if downloaded with Voyager routines, is saved in Voyager's Orbits folder. For more information on the location of the Voyager folders see here. In this place is also stored the main database that Voyager will use for search.
Manage Comets Data
You can use RoboOrbits from whatever place in Voyager modules and applications you will found a button with caption "Comet" or "Comets" or "Asteroid" or "Asteroids".
Manage Asteroids Data
RoboOrbits is the only way to have the automatic calculation of the orbits starting from the code/number/name/designation of the dynamic objects in Voyager. Otherwise it will be necessary to use RA/DEC
How frequently Update it
RoboOrbits is the only way to have the automatic calculation of the orbits starting from the code/number/name/designation of the dynamic objects in Voyager. Otherwise it will be necessary to use RA/DEC
Where is Stored the Data
RoboOrbits is the only way to have the automatic calculation of the orbits starting from the code/number/name/designation of the dynamic objects in Voyager. Otherwise it will be necessary to use RA/DEC
