NAME
     calceph_queryposition  -  computes  the position and velocity of the target
     from the center using the ephemeris files for a Julian day TDB

SYNOPSIS
     calceph_queryposition [juliandate] [target]A [center] [file ...]

DESCRIPTION
     calceph_queryposition displays to the standard output the position and  ve-
     locity  of  the target body from the center body for a Julian day TDB using
     the ephemeris files.

     The NAIF identification numbering system is used for the  target  body  and
     the  center body.	The position is expressed in kilometers and the velocity
     is expressed in kilometers per second.  These quantities are  expressed  in
     the ICRF frame.

EXAMPLES
     calceph_queryposition 2450457.0 5 10 examples/example1.bsp
	    Display the position and velocity of the Jupiter barycenter relative
	    to the Sun at the julian date 2450457.0 TDB using the ephemeris file
	    examples/example1.bsp
