Hi Greg,
Apparently the MPC provides element data files for all of the NEOs at Today's Epoch ±15 days. It could be useful to be able to select one of these other element data files besides the one at Today's Epoch.
Since ST4 is limited to one set of elements per 200 day interval (maybe that's not the correct way to describe it), for especially close passes could the data file from HORIZONS be read & used to provide different sets of elements during the pass?
Sorry, that's 2 wishes
