To restrict your search to only small-bodies or only major-bodies, use the pulldown menu to the right of the Search button above to select the desired filter.
Examples:
mars - search for bodies containing “mars” (case-insensitive).
If the search filter is set for all available bodies, you would get a list similar to the
following:
MB: Mars (the planet Mars)MB: Mars Barycenter (the dynamical point corresponing to the Mars-system barycenter)eros - search for bodies containing “eros”.
This should result in a unique match of the small-body 433 Eros.
10 - search for bodies with either a JPL ID of “10” or a small-body IAU-number of “10”.
The resulting list would look similar to the following:
MB: Sun [Sol]SB: 10 Hygiea1998 SF36 or 1998sf36 - search for a small-body with designation “1998 SF36”
(case-sensitive).
This should result in a unique match of the small-body
25143 Itokawa (1998 SF36).See the Horizons manual for more information.
Specify 1-750 sets of SGP4/SDP4 TLEs (Two-Line Elements) in standard format to define an Earth-orbiting spacecraft not already available in Horizons.

Specify the object on a separate line with
Object: object_name_designation_here
followed by appropriate osculating orbital elements and optional parameters
as field-name=value pairs.
Example:
