This project contains several packages which ease the processes of ephemeris sourcing and parsing, and one top-level package: EphemerisSources.jl. For usage examples, and instructions, please see the project's stable documentation. Any potential new features for this package will be released very quickly after they are developed; the stable documentation will always track the in-development documentation closely.

Currently, this project only supports the fetching and parsing of Cartesian state vectors from two ephemeris sources: NASA JPL's Generic Kernels, and NASA JPL's Horizons platform. In addition, EphemerisSources.jl is very new, and test coverage is another major opportunity for improvement. This project welcomes all contributions and comments. If you would like to help add tests or parsing for the two other common ephemeris formats — observer tables and osculating orbital elements — please add a comment in an issue! If you find bugs, want to request features, or if you have any other comments about the project's capabilities and code, please file an issue. Please treat all contributors with respect, as described in the project's Code of Conduct.

This repository includes the top-level documentation for several solar system ephemeris tools, all written with the Julia Programming Language. To learn more about how to use these tools, consult the documentation website.

This repository holds a JOSS submission under paper/. The paper is published to as a pre-print to HTML, PDF, and Markdown on the gh-pages branch.

Other Julia packages for interfacing with solar system ephemeris data are available, including the three external packages below. These are not affiliated with this repository, or this documentation's author.
