There are SPICE kernels for Orex at https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/ORX/kernels/ -- AFAIK this is what the flight team is using.

I have no idea of what SPICE kernels are. They are files that capture the position and orientation of spacecraft and solar system bodies, used for mission planning and data analysis. https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/naif/aboutspice.html If NASA Horizons does what you want, then by all means use it. I'm not certain how frequently it's updated, however. -------------------- Disclaimer: This post is based on public information only. Any opinions are my own.
