----- Attempting Submission 1 (Mon Sep 16 01:21:49 GMT 2013) -----Added new target for Visits 6 and 7 that uses JPL #09
orbital elements, rather than JPL #04 orbital elements.

was triggered on 2013 August 29 for the new object P/2013 P5, with the first observations taken on
September 10th. The results are spectacular, revealing an asteroid unlike any seen before and with
details impossible to detect with any other facility. We request a total of 7 more Hubble orbits to
investigate what triggered the activation of this MBC: 5 orbits will be used to monitor the temporal
evolution of P5 (1 orbit every month until the object enters Hubble's solar exclusion zone) and two
specialized orbits will be used to clarify the nature of this event. These observations will contribute
to an exciting new field in planetary astronomy (real-time asteroid disruption science) with important
implications for the supply of zodiacal dust, the population of meteor streams, and for dust
production in debris disks around other stars.TBDSOLAR SYSTEM0falsefalsefalsefalsefalseSUPPORTEDSOLAR SYSTEMJPL #04 orbital elementsCOMETComet 2013 P5TYPE=COMET,Q=1.936231064976365,E=0.1152950202772868,I=4.968025082929992,O=279.2838812591228,W=144.2314426709158,T=15-APR-2014:18:42:42,TTimeScale=TDT,EQUINOX=J2000,EPOCH=30-AUG-2013,EpochTimeScale=TDTEARTHSOLAR SYSTEMJPL #09 orbital elementsCOMETComet 2013 P5TYPE=COMET,Q=1.936436015563978,E=0.1152223972303745,I=4.968634632295663,O=279.2912548101674,W=144.230501667038,T=15-APR-2014:20:00:08,TTimeScale=TDT,EQUINOX=J2000,EPOCH=07-SEP-2013,EpochTimeScale=TDTEARTHWFC3/UVISImagingNoNoF350LPWFC3/UVISImagingNoNoF475XWFC3/UVISImagingNoNoF600LP52.5Using ephemeris for target 13609-01-MBC-2013P5ephemeris data for target 13609-01-MBC-2013P5 does not cover planning interval.
