It needs binary files to get JPL DEXXX ephemerides and IMCCE INPOPXX ephemerides. The library also implements VSOP87 ephemerides, which do not need any external files. It also implements SGP4/SDP4 ephemerides for artificial satellites, by calling the sgp4 function delivered by David A. Vallado. Positions of minor planets from its orbital elements.
