```
public static double[] getMoonPosition(double jd,
                                       int target,
                                       boolean positions)
```
    This method delivers the ephemerides of the Martian moons. It is based on a numerical model fitted to observations dispatched from 1877 to 2005. The expected accuracy of these ephemerides is around 500 meters for the period [1998:2010], and few kilometers for the period [1967:2020].
    There are no explicit time limit in the use of this subroutine. However we DO NOT recommend its use outside the period [1877-2025]. More details are available in (Lainey, Dehant, Patzold, 2007).
    
    Parameters:
    
    jd - Ephemeris time, TDB.
    
    target - Satellite, from 1 (Phobos) to 2 (Deimos).
    
    positions - Select the output type. True to get rectangular positions, false for orbital elements.
    
    Returns:
    
    The output elements/positions. Angles in radians, positions in AU (mean equatorial J2000).
