"As a result of the recent hacking at CfA and the consequent
uncertainty as to when we will be able to update the website at
CfA, the Minor Planet Center is announcing (several months ahead
of its planned date) the availability of its official mirror
site:

http://www.minorpla netcenter. org/iau/mpc. html

It will eventually be an exact copy of the CfA site. At the
moment, it is nowhere near complete. The only links that are
functional currently are:

1) Recent MPECs page, along with the MPECs issued in 2010.
2) The MPC Status page (and the E-Mail Woes pages)
3) The NEOCP
4) The MPES
5) The New Object Ephemeris Generator
and any link to a script or page on the MPC's webserver.

Other links will be made active in the near future, but the priority
was to the NEOCP and MPECs back on the web. Until access to the
main CfA site is restored, the copying to the mirror site will
be very slow.

If you experience problems using the new mirror site, send a full
report via the Feedback Forms.

Gareth"
