... This task simply converts some of the available Orbit parameters from their current ODF ascii format (as a Spacecraft Reconstructed Orbit File). It is assumed these positional and velocity parameters can be better accessed in FITS for constructing possible GTI's. It is not clear the usefulness of the orbit file for barycentric correction but it is clear this file should be presented in a format that maximizes using preexisting software to calculate such values FROM this file. ...

Influence of Asteroids and Trans-Neptunian Objects on the Motion of Major Planets and Masses of the Asteroid Main Belt and the TNO Ring . ... Perturbations from asteroids and Trans-Neptunian Objects (TNOs) produce a significant effect on the orbits of planets and should be taken into account when high-accuracy planetary ephemerides are constructed. On the other hand, from an analysis of motion of the major planets some physical parameters of the asteroids and TNOs may be obtained. ...
