MNT: Use USNO URLs for IERS A after ??? #9453

Closed

Description

@pllim

Update: The maintenance completion keeps getting delayed. Will just have to check https://www.usno.navy.mil/USNO/astronomical-applications once in a while...

Description

USNO is supposed to be back up online after a prolonged maintenance period after April 30, Fall 2020. We should check if we can use its services again to get IERS A data.

Additional context

This is a follow up of #9427 and a reminder to revert #9443 when we can.

    Likewise, any fixes to the urls should go back to the bugfix branch

    This is not going to happen before 4.0.1, so please move to the next bugfix milestone when it is available. Thanks!

    Current status on the webpage, so we need to bump this to the next milestone.

    The USNO websites aa.usno.navy.mil, ad.usno.navy.mil, aristarchus.usno.navy.mil, maia.usno.navy.mil, rorf.usno.navy.mil, and toshi.usno.navy.mil are undergoing modernization efforts.  The expected completion of the work and the estimated return of service is Summer 2020.

    I'm not sure there is any point in dragging this through the milestones, and I would even be inclined to close it as the current solution seems to be stable enough.

  14. removed this from the v4.0.4 milestone on Oct 23, 2020

    No harm keeping this open for now but if they cannot get the server up by end of 2021, maybe we'll just give up. Agree to removing milestone, thanks!
