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 is saved in Voyager's Orbits folder. For more information on the location of the Voyager folders see here


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".


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
