Download and store prior source measurements

talister commented 8 years ago

In order to support operations with NEO candidates where: 1) recoveries on the LCOGT Network need to be combined with the discovery and prior follow-up observations to confirm successful recovery and check astrometric residuals, 2) maintain access to the above data in the case of objects which are not NEOs which vanish from the NEOCP for at least a week 3) provide the foundation of the future infrastructure to store and report astrometric and photometric measurements made with the LCOGT NEO Follow-up Network

we need to able to support and perform the following tasks:

[x] create models to handle observed frames (happened in #46 ) and store source measurements
[x] design a data model that is able to handle the existing MPC 1992 80 column format (http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/iau/info/OpticalObs.html) and the future ADES XML standard (http://www.minorplanetcenter.net/mpec/K15/K15O06.html)
[x] create a parser and management command to ingest existing files of measurements for previously observed candidates
[x] synthesize and display MPC 80-column format lines from the stored source measurements (in #49 )
[x] create Frame entries from our observed FITS frames as part of the Block updating process
[x] Download and store observations from the NEOCP for candidates
[x] Handle S/s format satellite observations from e.g. C51 (NEOWISE)
[x] Handle and search for Bodies with a packed designations
[x] Allow upload of results from Astrometrica through either a web form or file reading (maybe) - covered in #49

Edward, I am happy for you to review the code as it at the minute and before it gets too much development in isolation. I would like to get some more of the tasks done before merging it to master though.

I've reviewed your code and merged in all the latest changes from master. I have added code to create Frame entries when blocks are updated too. I will now write some unittests for these.

Should we aim to put this on the staging server on Monday for possible deployment on Tuesday?

This is now running on the staging server. Everything looks good.

@talister if you review PR #66 I could put that on the staging server tomorrow and then we can deploy both of these live on Wednesday.

Edward, I have added support to handle satellite S/s format lines (first S line was easy, the other one much less so). Can you review the newly pushed feature/mpc-satellite-support branch (I know it still needs updating from master) and if it looks not too horrible, could it be pushed to the staging server?

zemogle commented 8 years ago

Sure thing. I'll have to leave until Monday, if thats ok.

zemogle commented 8 years ago

I've deployed this to the staging server. Its all looking good. Please check it over.

Final part of the satellite support is now complete with the bug fix for Issue #80.
