Maybe my math is off, but 825 m3 & assuming a 2-3 meter high "ceiling", we're looking at a square area of under 400 m2 That is OK for some people but we're talking 100 people here for 10 months. Not something I would want to experience, I tell ya!

Juno space probe... revised trajectory...

MAVEN space probe... model revised (with normal map)... revised trajectory...

after exploring things I made decision to use only PNG files for texturing models... somewhere I removed unneccesary textures... here my last modifications for these models with normal map... guess you will see difference...

Cassini-Huygens... model with normal map... corrected SSC-file for my addon... data folder here: viewtopic.php?f=23&t=18024&start=1220

Mars Global Surveyor...

Mars Odyssey and Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter models with normal map is also ready...

Due to the switch of a launch vehicle from SLS (Block 1) to an unspecified commercial rocket (most likely Falcon Heavy), Europa Clipper's trajectory on HORIZONS is now sadly outdated. The current plans now follow a MEGA (Mars-Earth Gravity Assist) trajectory, which lasts for 5.5 years in contrast to a more direct SLS trajectory lasting 2-3 years:

TIMELINE:
- 2024-10-06 = Launch
- 2025-02-27 = Flyby of Mars
- 2026-12-01 = Flyby of Earth
- 2030-04-11 = Jupiter Orbit Insertion

Oneweb carried out its 8th launch of 36 satellites on 01-07-2021



I completed the satellites of the Navstar GPS fleet (75 sat). The Ending date is neutralized as most are still in orbit even though they are disabled.



Reminder: for all these satellites the 'Visible false' function is activated to work with the use of Vidiba of LUT5. To deactivate it, you must put the '#' character in front of the function.

Mars Odyssey... Updated model and trajectory...

ExoMars16 TGO... updated model(now with normal map) and revised trajectory...

Gaia space telescope... 3d model by ESA with normal map... fixed...

Clementine... model updated...

Chandra... model updated...

Parker.... model updated...

Voyagers.... model updated (with normal map and changed the golden record)...

when will Chang'e 2 be made?

when will Chang'e 2 be made?

maybe when the China National Space Administration gives me the orbital data of the space probe...

i hate it how china refuses to release some data and stuff like a shape model of toutatis derived from chang'e 2's images

Lisa Pathfinder.... model (by ESA) and textures only...
