I'm interested in a detailed digital orrery. I don't care if the orrery is
simulating the physics of the solar system or not, but I would like all of
the following to be correct:

	1. positions and orbits of all planets.
	2. positions of all known planetary satellites with respect to
	   their planet and each other. orbits, too.
	3. correct inclinations for all planets and satellites.

Does anyone know if something like this already exists? If not, does
anyone have any idea how one would go about gathering all of these
data?

Thanks for any information.
