Voyager (and other probes?)

Chris,

You mentioned in earlier posts that 1.2.4 would be able to show at least Voyager's (the NASA one, not the Star Trek one :wink: ) tour through the solar system.

Any possibility of a download?

Cheers,

/ Lars

My plan is to use JPL's SPICE data files to get the positions and orientations over time of various spacecraft. There's data available for the Voyagers and a bunch of other missions. I'll start with the Voyagers, then add Pioneer 10 and 11, NEAR, the Vikings, . . . Not sure if I can work this into 1.2.5 or it's farther off. I've got my hands full with comets at the moment.
