* Pioneer Venus Orbiter * add-on by toutatis... was made changes in the SSC-file... and small correction for model too... solar panels reflect the light better now...

Added after 7 minutes 47 seconds:
I also will revise OSIRIS-REx and Hayabusa-2 add-ons... some elements of the spacecrafts changes during mission, so need to change the SSC-files and I will add some components for models...

Added after 6 minutes 35 seconds:
I think I will create my own website soon, where you all can watch and download things I made... Time will show...

I have a question for guys who lives in the USA or Canada... What do you think about Canadian dollar.. just your opinions... Will it raise against US dollar after yesterday FED meeting or no? and if yes, as strong?

I love all these updates !

I love all these updates !

Thank you very much Gironde... I appreciate it...

* Stardust-NExT * add-on by toutatis... a big changes in SSC-file... the model was a bit modernized... there is no clones of the spacecraft now...

Made a new Galileo probe model... for a new Galileo add-on.....

this is NASA's Galileo probe (1989-2003).
It should not be confused with the Galileo positioning system built by ESA and which aims to replace the GPS system.

Yes, Gironde... You are right...

You are welcome @Diigg... and thank you very much too...

I am still learning...

Toutatis and Gironde are literally improving every addon they make, and I applaud then for that!

Thanks, Gurren Lagann...


Prepared a new modernized Hayabusa 2 model with a separating and moving elements such as landers, sample-return capsule and the sampler horn... but too bad, there is no data for creating trajectory...

Now I will modernize an OSIRIS-REx model in such way...

just modernized Galileo Probe model... you can make choice...

thanks, Gurren Lagann …

I'm not doing a new model right now and Toutatis is doing a lot better than me.

But Hayabusa 2 is still around Ryugu !
Why not do Hayabusa 1 while waiting ?

with time Gironde... and there is only final stage at HORIZONS...

but see in pic below that I found this today in night at HORIZONS for Hayabusa 2... and that is great...
I think that Mr. Jon.D.Giorgini visit our forum sometimes....

So I will start to create a new Hayabusa 2 add-on today...

What? Data for Hayabusa 2 has long been there. Otherwise, how could I build a trajectory for the Origin?

However, there is another problem. When Hayabusa-2 is located near Ryugu, it is necessary to build a trajectory relative to the asteroid. I personally found out from Giorgini. He said this option is not available (apparently the Japanese have not yet shared).

Yes, I know about it...

I had an experience to build a such kind of trajectories before Origin start to use it...
And they have revised the data in 19 September...

So I did not understand the previous message. I thought you discovered this data for the first time.

Data is updated frequently. But this will not affect the general situation. The trajectory relative to the Sun near Ryugu is not accurate.
