Minor Planet Center Observatory Codes
Project description
mpc_obscodes: Minor Planet Center Observatory Codes File
A Python package by the Asteroid Institute, a program of the B612 Foundation
This package ships the Minor Planet Center's file of observatory codes and their geodetic coordinates.
This is not an official MPC package. It is an automatically generated mirror of the file so that it is
installable via pip.
Every night at around 2:15 AM UTC, the MPC observatory code file is downloaded and compared (via md5 checksum) to the current version of this package. If the checksums are different, a new package will be published.
Installation
The latest version of the file can be install via pip:
pip install mpc-obscodes
Usage
import pandas as pd
from mpc_obscodes import mpc_obscodes
obscodes = pd.read_json(mpc_obscodes, orient="index")
