------------


Subroutine MarsSatV1_0 delivers the ephemerides of the Martian moons.
It is based on a numerical model fitted to observations dispatched 
from 1877 to 2005. The expected accuracy of these ephemerides is around 500 meters
for the period [1998:2010], and few kilometers for the period [1967:2020]. 

There are no explicit time limit in the use of this subroutine. 
However we DO NOT recommend its use outside the period [1877-2025].
More details are available in (Lainey, Dehant, Patzold, 2007).


MarsSatV1_0 is the only subroutine that the user should call.

Input:
------

ET=Time in Julian days (TDB) starting at the epoch 2451545.0 (01/01/2000 at 12am)

nsat=satellite number (1 Phobos, 2 Deimos)

iv=type of the output (0 are elliptical elements (a, L, k, h, q, p) in Martian mean equator of the date,
                       1 are Mars centered Cartesian coordinates in J2000 Earth mean equatorial frame)


Output:
-------

ELEM(6)=(a, L, k, h, q, p) or (x, y, z, vx, vy, vz)


Units:
------

Positions, velocities and semi-major axis are in au and au/day. 
To convert it in kilometers, one should multiply by the astronomical value: 149597870.691
The angles are in radian.


Examples:
---------

Phobos
