S/W Development of High Precesion EPHEMERIS(I)
Abstract
We developed the S/W which calculate the Planetary and the Moon ephemerides. The ephemeris of the Solar system objects was obtained from a simultaneous numerical integration of the equations of motion for the nine planets and the Moon. The mathematical model includes contributions from (1) point-mass interactions (2) figure effect (3) earth tides (4) the orientations of the Earth and the Moon. The calculated ephemerides are compared with DE200 data produced by JPL(Jet Propulsion Laboratory).
