 This pre-computed trajectory of asteroid (101955) Bennu, covering 1900 to 
 2136 is based on ground-based optical and radar astrometry as well as 
 pseudo-range measurements from the OSIRIS-REx mission.

 The trajectory accounts for the gravity of the Sun, the planets, Pluto, the 
 Moon and 343 small-body perturbers, relativistic effect, the Yarkovsky effect,
 and other solar radiation perturbations. Full details are provided in 
 Farnocchia et al. (2021): https://doi.org/10.1016/j.icarus.2021.114594

 It may be used to generate ephemerides relative to the SPACECRAFT-BASED Bennu
 solution by specifying coordinate center as "@2101955", or extended physical
 ephemerides of Bennu such as sub-observer/solar latitude and longitude.

 Due to the non-standard dynamical models enabled by extensive high-precision
 spacecraft data, Horizons won't generate new SPK files for Bennu. However, 
 the final reconstructed mission SPK can be downloaded for use here:

TIME

  Barycentric Dynamical Time ("TDB" or T_eph) output was requested. This
continuous coordinate time is equivalent to the relativistic proper time
of a clock at rest in a reference frame co-moving with the solar system
barycenter but outside the system's gravity well. It is the independent
variable in the solar system relativistic equations of motion.

  TDB runs at a uniform rate of one SI second per second and is independent
of irregularities in Earth's rotation.
 
CALENDAR SYSTEM

  Mixed calendar mode was active such that calendar dates after AD 1582-Oct-15
(if any) are in the modern Gregorian system. Dates prior to 1582-Oct-5 (if any)
are in the Julian calendar system, which is automatically extended for dates
prior to its adoption on 45-Jan-1 BC.  The Julian calendar is useful for
matching historical dates. The Gregorian calendar more accurately corresponds
to the Earth's orbital motion and seasons. A "Gregorian-only" calendar mode is
available if such physical events are the primary interest.

REFERENCE FRAME AND COORDINATES

               of Earth's north pole at the reference epoch.
