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

Python 3.7+ PyPI version PyPi downloads
Build and Test Build, Test, & Publish Compare Upstream

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")
