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.
Important Note! Voyager is not responsible for the correct content of the files indicated as they are not its property. The data is made publicly available by entities outside of Voyager. Also it is not guaranteed that the sources can be reached 24h/24h 7/7d.
Important Note! The use of other data sources is not permitted as the format used may not be compatible. Forcing the import of other data sources could damage the database in use or reset it.
Important Note! However, Voyager keeps a copy of the last file downloaded and used to import data, renaming the file with a final "_last".
Important Note! RoboOrbits Data are common and shared for all Voyager Profiles.
Important Note! Do not perform Asteroids and Comets data imports actions at same time. You can damage the RoboOrbits database. Use one at once.
Important Note! When proceeding to import data, as soon as they have been downloaded (if required) the current data in the database will be deleted to make room for the new ones. If the import action is interrupted in this phase the database could be empty or corrupt and no longer usable, do not interrupt the action if not necessary.
Manage Comets Data
To add comet data to RoboOrbits it is necessary to perform the automatic import procedures present in the Voyager setup under the tab Common.The data is in fact shared for each Voyager profile in use.
- Download Url : define the URL adress on the web where to download the Comets data
- Reset to Default URL : restore the Download Url to the default one suggested by Voyager
- Download from URL and Save Comets Data : Voyager will start download of the comets file from the url in Download Url. A connection to Internet is necessary to perform this action. The data will be store in the Orbits folder here in Voyager and the processed and imported in the RoboOrbits database. Previous data about comets will be erased.
- Upload from FILE and Save Comets Data: Voyager will start to process the selected file from the disk (user can select the file after the button press) and import data in RoboOrbits database. Processed data about comets will be erased. Is not necessary an Internet connection because Voyager will use an existing file. You can for example download manually from the web and then import from the disk.
Important Note! Do not change the Download URL if you are not sure on what you are doing. Use the Reset to Default URL button to restore the original URL
Manage Asteroids Data
To add asteroids data to RoboOrbits it is necessary to perform the automatic import procedures present in the Voyager setup under the tab Common.The data is in fact shared for each Voyager profile in use.
- Download Url : define the URL adress on the web where to download the Asteroids data
- Reset to Default URL : restore the Download Url to the default one suggested by Voyager
- Download from URL and Save Asteroids Data : Voyager will start download of the asteroids file from the url in Download Url. A connection to Internet is necessary to perform this action. The data will be store in the Orbits folder here in Voyager and the processed and imported in the RoboOrbits database. Previous data about comets will be erased.
- Upload from FILE and Save Asteroids Data: Voyager will start to process the selected file from the disk (user can select the file after the button press) and import data in RoboOrbits database. Processed data about comets will be erased. Is not necessary an Internet connection because Voyager will use an existing file. You can for example download manually from the web and then import from the disk.
Important Note! Do not change the Download URL if you are not sure on what you are doing. Use the Reset to Default URL button to restore the original URL
Important Note! This can be a long task up to few tens of minutes. Depends on your internet conenction speed and on your PC processor power
How frequently Update it
La frequenza di aggiornamento dei dati relativi a RoboOrbits dipende dalle esigenze dell'utente. Dalla disponibilità di nuovi oggetti, dalle correzioni eventuali delle orbite di quelli già riportati.
In ogni caso quando si decide di aggiornare comete e/o asteroidi i dati vengono reimportati tutti da zero, i precedenti vengono eliminati. Gli inidici del database vengono ricreati al termine del processo di import ed il database viene sottoposto a processo di shrink per evitare sprechi di spazio.
Where the data is stored from RoboOrbits
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.
