This is a mirror site of ftp://cfa-ftp.harvard.edu/pub/MPCORB/ maintained by the Klet' Observatory.
This directory contains the latest version of MPCORB in a variety of formats. MPCORB.DAT Uncompressed version (LF terminated) MPCORB.ZIP Compressed version (LF terminated) MPCORBcr.DAT Uncompressed version (CR-LF terminated) MPCORBcr.ZIP Compressed version (CR-LF terminated) The MPCORBcr files are intended primarily for users of PCs. These files are rebuilt each night, generally between 02:00 and 03:00 EST (07:00 and 08:00 UT), except during the short period each month when the next batch of Minor Planet Circulars are being prepared.

Other files contain subsets of the above main file: NEA.DAT NEAs (LF terminated) NEAcr.DAT NEAs (CR-LF terminated) PHA.DAT PHAs (LF terminated) PHAcr.DAT PHAs (CR-LF terminated) Unusuals.DAT Unusual objects (LF terminated) UnusualsCR.DAT Unusual objects (CR-LF terminated) DistantObjects.DAT Distant objects (LF terminated) DistantObjectsCR.DAT Distant objects (CR-LF terminated) DAILY.DAT Contains the orbits newly added to MPCORB.DAT The directory also contains the elements for the (potentially) observable comets. COMET.DAT Uncompressed version (LF terminated) COMETcr.DAT Uncompressed version (CR-LF terminated) Since the COMET*.DAT files are so small, there is no compressed version. Also included are elements of NEAs for non-standard epochs: NEAtod.DAT Elements for 0h UT today (LF terminated) NEAtodCR.DAT Elements for 0h UT today (CR-LF terminated) NEAtom.DAT Elements for 0h UT tomorrow (LF terminated) NEAtomCR.DAT Elements for 0h UT tomorrow (CR-LF termninated) NEA+XX.DAT Elements for 0h UT today + XX (LF terminated) NEA+XXCR.DAT Elements for 0h UT today + XX (CR-LF) terminated) The format of the files is described at: http://cfa-www.harvard.edu/iau/info/OrbFormat.html ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Also in this directory are some files suitable for users of popular planetarium-type software: SkyMap.CAT Numbered minor planets for SkyMap SkyMap.ZIP Compressed version of SkyMap.CAT These files are updated monthly after each batch of MPCs is prepared, except for those occasions when a mini-batch of MPCs is prepared (i.e., no new numberings occur). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Provided by Minor Planet Center --- comments/bug reports to mpc@cfa.harvard.edu
