APIs for Mars orbiting satellites #190

Open SagittariusA11 opened 1 year ago

SagittariusA11 commented 1 year ago

Hi, I'm looking for API that provides real time data for Mars orbiting satellites similar to that of Earth's orbiting satellites either in TLE or JSON format. Please include this as well in NASA's APIs or please mention any sources that does have such API.

Do you mean natural satellites (Phobos and Deimos) or artificial probes?

The full list of objects known by horizons is: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons_batch.cgi?batch=1&COMMAND=%27*%27&CENTER=%27@0%27

Phobos = 401, Deimos = 402

Positive numbers = natural bodies Negative numbers = artificial bodies
