Each logical record contains header information and data in the following format: North polar distance, longitude, year, month, day, hour, element, observatory code, blank spaces, 60 data values, and an hourly mean. ... ORG is the origin of the data. A = Alaska Chain. ...

Pulkovo NEO Page . ... EPOS Software Package . ... EPOS ( E phemeris P rogram for O bjects of the S olar system) is the Windows PC application for study and ephemeris support of observations of the Solar system objects. ... It controls the part of common data and transfers the control to one of the programs that solve the restricted set of tasks. ... So with the EPOS software package one can calculate the accurate ephemerides for many objects and get the quick illustration of their motion as well. ...
