Is it possible to have better .xyz files for Voyager 1 and 2 ?
In the actual files we got "only" 1 sample per week (approximatly)... Could we have a 1 day or even better sampling rate for these spacecrafts ?
Because actually if you follow Voyagers through the time they "miss" some planets !!! Voyager 2 on the 25 August 1989 is at 0.4 ua from netpune !!! (instead of some thousands kilometers...)
Voyager Orbits Precision...

I have trajectories with a one day interval between samples for the majority of the mission, and one hour between samples during the two months surrounding planetary encounters. You can get them here:

Make sure that you've upgraded to the latest prerelease of Celestia (or you're building from CVS); I've made significant corrections to planet positions since 1.2.4.

The latest executable is here:
http://www.shatters.net/celestia/files/celestia-win32-1.2.5pre7.exe I haven't yet made a new source package; that will happen once 1.2.5 final is ready.
