Usage

This template creates an external link to the JPL Small-Body Database Browser (SBDB) for a specific small Solar System body such as an asteroid or a comet.

First parameter: identifier

The required first parameter is the body's unique identifier. Several identifiers are possible:

For minor-planets
For comets
  • {{JPL|17P}}JPL, for numbered comet 17P/Holmes (note without "/" and name)
  • {{JPL|P/2011+NO1}}JPL, for unnumbered comet P/2011 NO1 (note the "+"-sign)
Using SPK-ID
  • For special cases, use SBDB's interal reference key (spk-id). For example, comets with fragments (e.g. 205P/Giacobini, use {{JPL|1000933}} (JPL) instead of {{JPL|205P}} (JPL) The spk-id needs to be looked-up at SDBD first (it is displayed in the title section).

Second parameter: label

The optional second parameter is used as a replacement for the wikilink text. The default is "JPL" as in all examples above. It may be changed to any given text. For example:

Close approach data

If the second parameter is named with |cad=, a link to the object's close approach data (cad) section is produced instead.
Example for the near-Earth object 99942 Apophis:
