Tracklet-less Heliocentric Orbit Recovery
Warning: THOR is still in very active development.
The latest "stable" version is v1.2. The code on the main branch is currently being used to develop THOR v2.0 and is not guaranteed to be stable. We anticipate that v2.0 will be the one most useful to the community and we aim for it to be released by the end of 2023. THOR v2.0 is a complete re-write of the THOR code primarily designed to enable it for use as a service on the Asteroid, Discovery, Analysis and Mapping (ADAM) platform. The primary goal of v2.0 is to enable THOR to work at scale on many small cloud-hosted VMs. The secondary goal of v2.0 is to add changes that will work towards enabling the linking of NEOs (THOR is currently configured to work on the Main Belt and outwards).
