Description

In #3615, I've commented out the remote tests that use the NED resolver since we've been having some issues with the service. Others at MAST are planning an update to use the new API. When this work is completed, make sure to uncomment these tests and verify that the NED resolver works and returns results in a reasonable amount of time.

Read issue #3615 to find the commented remote tests that use the NED resolver. Wait for the planned NED API update, then uncomment those tests, run them against the service, and verify that the resolver returns results within a reasonable amount of time.
