SkyBoT is a VO service which allows to seek and identify solar system objects (planet, satellites, asteroids, comets) in any field of view at a given epoch (cone-search method). It provides also a solar system object name resolver which convert the name or the designation of solar system objects into their celestial coordinates at a given epoch (resolver method). The SkyBoT service are available through a Web interface and a Web service (SOAP+WSDL+HTTP) which implements the IVOA Simple Cone-Search protocol.
The Miriade project aims to provide a VO-compliant suite of services to compute positional and physical ephemerides of known solar system bodies as seen from any location on Earth as well as various location in space (HST, SPITZER, Gaia, etc.)
