Celestia Forums

I used the tle2ssc script and tried out the ISS coordinates published by NASA. They still seem to be a bit off, about 12 minutes or so. Is something wrong with the script, or more probably, I guess with something in such a fast orbit, Celestia will never be able to model it accurately.

As has been discussed before, the ISS and other low earth orbit satellites have unstable, rapidly changing orbits that are not accurately modelled by Celestia's default orbital parameters. Is anyone working on a way to translate standard orbittal parameters as published by NASA, etc, to update Celes...

I'm also getting that weird display bug at medium and high res. The earth texture disappears and is replaced by random bitmaps from my desktop.
