GENERAL INFORMATION The ephemerides for these objects are short and not subject to long- term computation for extreme dates far into the past or future. The position of the Spitzer Space Telescope can be predicted farther into the future than the other space telescopes. See: https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/time_spans.html IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure that the given geographic GPS coordinates are within the given Time Zone. The time zone and local coordinates must match or the computed times will NOT be correct.
