How often RoboOrbits data is updated depends on your needs. From the availability of new objects, from any corrections of the orbits of those already reported.
 
 
 
In any case, when you decide to update comets and/or asteroids, the data are all re-imported from scratch, the previous ones are deleted. The database indexes are recreated at the end of the import process and the database is subjected to a shrink process to avoid wasting space.
 
 
 
 
 
==Where the data is stored from RoboOrbits==

==Using DragScript to Update RoboOrbits Data==
 
It is possible to automate the process of downloading and importing RoboOrbits data. To do this you can use the dedicated blocks in the Orbits category in your dragscript:

What is RoboOrbits Finders

I finders sono i form per la ricerca dei dati relativi ai Target Dinamici nel database di RoboOrbits.

C'è un finder per ogni tipologia di Target Dinamico, da un finder non si ha accesso ai dati di altre tipologie di Target Dinamico.

Per l'apertura del FInder, over possibile, sono presenti dei pulsanti dedicati con il testo che richiama la tipologia di Target Dinamico ricercabile.

Grazie al Finder sarà possibile effettuare ricerche più o meno approfondite nel database di RoboOrbits, calcolare la posizione attuale del Target e visualizzare i dati orbitali dello stesso compreso i dati di transito.

Important Note! In order to calculate the position of the Dynamic Target in real time it is necessary that Voyager has access to the data of the location of the mount through the mount or through the fixed parameters in the setup of Voyager or thanks to the use of the new system of cache of the Location introduced with the Voyager version 2.3.8b. Without latitude, longitude and elevation data it will only be possible to view the orbital parameters and a few other information.
Important Note! Finders will not work until you download and import the data into RoboOrbits. The RoboOrbits database is in fact empty upon first installation. The data is not included in Voyager.
