* Mars Odyssey *

just added COSPAR ID in SSC-file for MRO... "Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter:MRO:2005-029A" "Sol" { Class "spacecraft" Mesh "mars-reconnaissance-orbiter.cmod" Radius 0.0065 Timeline [ { Beginning 2453595.029166667 # Ending 2453805.0 # OrbitFrame { EclipticJ2000 { ...

* Mars Atmosphere and Volatile Evolution (MAVEN) * the full XYZV-trajectory by data from HORIZONS... Timeline...

a small changes for GRAIL and MRO add-ons... for MRO, HiRISE cam direction to Mars, after arriving to the red planet... in the picture MRO several minutes ago over Nord pole of planet... when we use XYZV-trajectories we can know where spacecraft in the real moment of time...

toutatis < With this file LUT will be in English.

Thanks Art Blos...

But English can be a pain when you have to learn words that you will never use in normal day to day life.

but in my life... Never...

Nice! But I wonder, why you decided to do the Lua in English?

Because I learning this language... so... also I learning an African languages... Mende and Luganda...

Thanks, Lafuente_Astronomy... but all I want is that my Celestia work in ENGLISH ONLY... the file you sent did not helped... I deleted file *celestia.mo* from folder *locale / ru / LC_MESSAGES /* and now my Celestia works in English, but LUT no, still in Russian... but I need LUT work in English too...

* Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter * the full trajectory by data from HORIZONS (JPL, NASA)... Timeline...

Hey guys... can someone who use "Celestia Origin" in English send to me here a file called * config.lua *.... the way is Celestia / lua-applications / lua_universal_tools_v5 / config.lua

Thanks very much in advance!

To avoid visual defects the TRAAC satellite model was a bit changed...

What you can do to make the close viewing easier, is to place a couple of invisible placeholders at strategic locations by adding the following code to the SSC:

Wow... Thanks very much Chuft-Captain...

the realization of SWIFT was swift :biggrin: ... Today I started a new work to create a model of.......... Hipparcos... Yes, yes... you can observe the progress in creation of the model here in this thread... :biggrin: I am too busy with my main job, but I will try to create more and more... and mo...

the engineering of this satellite is not trivial. they used the gravity stabilization for this satellite... the full length of the extendable boom with a damping spring is 32 meters in maximum, but in my model is 16 meters.. it's was made specially, because too long models not observable well in Ce...

The Transit Research and Attitude Control (TRAAC) satellite was launched by the U. S. Navy from Cape Canaveral along with Transit 4B on November 15, 1961.... The 109 kg satellite was used to test the feasibility of using gravity-gradient stabilization in Transit navigational satellites. It provided ...
