RoboOrbits Data

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.

Manage Comets Data

Per aggiungere a RoboOrbits i dati delle comete è necessario eseguire le procedure automatiche d'importazione presenti nel setup di Voyager al tab Common. I dati sono infatti condivisi per ogni profilo di Voyager in utilizzo.

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
