Oorb Tips and Tricks

To convert MPCORB.DAT to a oorb format:

oorb --task=mpcorb --mpcorb=MPCORB.DAT --orb-out=MPCORB.orb

To propagate MPCORB.orb to a desired date:

oorb --task=propagation --orb-in=MPCORB.orb --epoch-mjd-utc=59580.173 --orb-out=MPCORB_START_59580.orb

To generate ephemeris from desired date onwards:

oorb --task=ephemeris --code=I11 --orb-in=MPCORB_START_59580.orb --timespan=30.0 --step=1.0 > MPCORB_OBS.eph
