Is it possible to get the periapsis of an asteroid?

I am a beginning plugin developer with little coding experience, and was wondering if you can get the info of a space object for a plugin? I know its a noob question, but if you can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, you can get those since an asteroid is seen as a Vessel by the game so it have all the orbit info you need.

Ok, is there a thread that shows how to use the Vessel object?

Vessel test = vessel;

double Apoapsis = test.orbit.ApA;

double Periapsis = test.orbit.ApR;
