******************************************************************************* JPL/HORIZONS Dimorphos (Didymos I) 120065803 Updated: 2024-Mar-01 Solution (s542) date: 2023-Sep-19 This is the DART mission's post-impact reconstructed trajectory for Dimorphos, -satellite- of the 65803 Didymos system & the IMPACTED TARGET. The trajectory data includes the pre- and post-impact ephemeris for Dimorphos. For surface cartographic locations, pre- and post-impact Dimorphos rotation models are used automatically. To use Dimorphos as a coordinate origin, set center to "@ 120065803". DART impact was on 26-Sep-2022 @ 23:14:24.183 UTC, equivalent to 2022-Sep-26 23:15:33.365359 TDB.

Pre-impact Dimorphos spin pole (ICRF at J2000.0 epoch, east long. positive) RA = 69.32686 deg. (310.0 deg. ecliptic longitude) DEC = -72.72455 deg. (-80.6 deg. ecliptic latitude) PM = 73.07056508 deg., 724.7243883 deg/day, 1.0271E-06 deg^2/day^2 (period is 11.92177 hrs) Post-impact Dimorphos spin pole A dynamic frame where the X axis points from Dimorphos center to Didymos center. The Z axis is parallel to the pre-impact Z axis. RA = 69.32686 deg. (310.0 deg. ecliptic longitude) DEC = -72.72455 deg.
