Great add-on! The sun-facing solar panel is very well done... I haven't checked yet--is there a SPICE kernel available giving the exact orbit?

A very, very nice add-on...

I followed the LRO around the Moon a few times, and the solar
panel array was pointed at the direction of power the whole time.

Many thanks, Brain-Dead

I just checked. Not yet. A page to find it in the future will probably be here.
