MPC Ephemerides for NEA Potential Mission Destinations
--------------------------------------------------------
As a convenience to NEO observers, this form obtains ephemerides from the IAU Minor Planet Center, which is not associated with A/CC.
Objects here are from the Potentially Accessible Asteroids list compiled from several sources by Josh Hopkins of Lockheed Martin,
  except that objects noted as PMD (potential mission destination) candidates have not yet been added to that list.
Astrometry is appreciated for all objects but may not be necessary for those with uncertainties near zero arcsec.
  Photometry is welcome for any object but note that a few have been previously studied.

Data compiled at 1542 UTC on 16 May 2012, presented in reverse discovery order in two lists, starting with objects for which
  observations are possibly achievable for most observers, followed by objects for larger telescopes.

Visibility  - apparent magnitude & solar elongation at 0600 UTC on May 17th
            - V > 22.0 is out of view for most observers & V > 24.4 is out of view for almost everyone else
              (objects are initially checked only if V < 20.0, within limiting magnitude of many observers)
            - el. < 60° is leaving view for many observers & el. < 40° is out of view for everyone
U parameter - quantifies the uncertainty in the orbit solution, from 0 (best) to 9
              like Orbit Condition Code (OCC) on PAA target list, except OCC is from JPL & U from the MPC
Unc. "      - sky path uncertainty in arcseconds
Notes       - lost = MPES says "Leave for survey recovery" or uncertainty info not given

If you select 8-line MPC format, you may display the residual block for the objects selected:
Show residuals blocks.Show only residual lines containing observations from code . If you select 8-line MPC format the elements will be displayed with the ephemerides. If you select any format other than 8-line MPC format, only the elements are returned. In such cases your browser should download the elements file and save it to your local disk.
