Instrument Location Service

The Instrument Location Service contains details of the locations of all main planetary objects in the solar system and of spacecraft that have travelled on a complex trajectory.

The ILS also contains a table of the dates of key events in the life of several spacecraft including launch, planetary flybys and insertion into orbit around the target object.

To use the ILS, select the time range of interest and the object (or objects) of interest and then press "Search". The results can be viewed as a Web page or downloaded as a VOTable or text file.

Questions: Does the ILS produce the information that you expect? Do you see any errors in the Service? If there are any problems, please let us know.
