MATLAB functions and scripts that demonstrate how to read JPL binary ephemeris files and calculate the position and velocity vectors of a planet, the sun or the Moon. The jplephem.m function was ported to MATLAB using the Fortran source code subroutine provided by JPL. The binary ephemeris files can be created using the JPL-provided ASCII data files. These ASCII data files and Fortran source code can be found at ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/planets/ascii/. A MICE-based version named jplephem_mice is included.
