Rocket upper stage Centaur 4...

Many thanks toutatis... your models are excellent! Great job!

Hi bh... Thank you too!

Centaur R/B add-on with real orbital elements... NORAD # 43227U

Toutatis, what a news! Here is the quality of the model!




P.S. Toutatis, model Centaur R/B rotates very fast around its own axis. Time machine shows the time multiplier of 1x.

Yes, Croc... this upper stage rotates very fast... but if you want, you can change period...

Hi guys... I have launched the James Webb Space Telescope to the Celestia Space today... sorry, but I don't want to wait 2020...
the orbit was made by myself.... ofcourse when the big James Webb will be launched we can correct the orbital parameters...
the James Webb ST add-on is here now... also I modified the model of Formosat 5...
at any time we can modify the models to make it better...

Fantastic telescope! Great model!
Thank you so much! We are all waiting for the launch of this telescope ...

Making Delta-IV Heavy now... it will be ready soon...

Added after 57 seconds:
texturing model current time...

the model of the rocket Delta-IVHeavy for Celestia is ready... enjoy...

Toutatis,



Do you know about the 3D Warehouse site? https://3dwarehouse.sketchup.com/model/445c4382aa3afeb848ea439cc0d577d4/H-IIA-Launch-Vehicle
Many 3D files in Sketchup, Geogle KMZ and colloda (DAE) formats. I do not know how to convert Sketchup or KMZ files.

The .dae files can be imported into Blender and then exported in .3ds and then taken back in cmodview. Some are badly finished, faces are not listed and remain transparent but a majority remains exploitable.

Hi Gironde... no, I don't know about this site... but thanks for the link... I trying to convert and modify the models from "Orbiter" ... it's is not easy too... need time... and!... I also make some details to these models which they not have... and I make textures ( UV mapping) from the zero... I have only the clean meshes of these models...

the next model... is Titan 4B... it will be ready soon... I hope..

Sur 3D Warehouse, il y a des satellites et des lanceurs que nous n'avons pas. J'y ai trouvé Telstar 1 et Gaia, entre autres, mais ils ont besoin d'être améliorés.

Yes, we only need to know algorithm of conversion these models...

and I also have the Gaia model now already... from Orbiter... but there a lot of work to prepare it for Celestia.... several hours...

I started texturing the Titan-4B model...

The N1 was a super heavy-lift launch vehicle intended to deliver payloads beyond low Earth orbit, acting as the Soviet counterpart to the US Saturn V.

Yes, but it never flew... the one which was made, was destroyed... I like to work with the models of a successful and famous rocket-vehicles as Atlas, Titan, Delta, Saturn, Pegasus, Thor-Agena, Space Shuttles, Falcon, Minotaur, Antares from the USA... Ariane from the EU... Proton, Soyuz from Russia... Long March from China, H-II from Japan... PSLV, GSLV from India... these launch vehicles are good, they made a lot of work and some of them still makes a lot of work for the humanity... these launch vehicles I like...

The model of Titan-4B...
