... AstroCC is a coordinate conversion utility for astronomy. It accepts an object designation or the coordinates of an object and calculates coordinates in alternative systems, and at different dates, times, and locations. It also provides lunar and bright planet coordinates to aid in planning observations. ... BJD values may also be retrieved from http://astroutils.astronomy.ohio-state.edu/time/utc2bjd.html which is based on Eastman et al. ... Coordinate data are obtained from SIMBAD. ...

... Step 1: The Footprint position calculation by the magnetic field line tracing from the satellite position up to the Ionosphere by using IGRF + Tsyganenko [1987] magnetic field model (the stop trace altitude 110 km). Step 2: Tracing back from the Footprint (produced on the Step 1) to the dipole equatorial plane (by using only IGRF magnetic field model up to the geocentric distance 8 RE and dipole field model after this distance). ... Back to the description . ...

... It is precisely these values that are displayed as O – C. In case computed positions of minor planet for all or some part of moments are found without accounting for perturbations, the corresponding moments are followed by asterisk (without perturbations are computed positions for all minor planets if moments of their observations lie outside the basic interval of 16 months or for ordinary ... The coordinate system and type of computed positions are indicated in status bar. ...

... The HST uses an onboard model of its orbit to perform in real-time various control functions relating to spacecraft operations and observation support. ... New coefficients for the ephemeris are updated every other day, and are archived as FITS keywords for each HST observation data set. Using these coefficients,an observer can perform a variety of calibration and characterization calculations relating to the orbital position and velocity of the telescope. ...
