Celestia Forums

Hello,

as I was searching for the sputnik add-on (which is yet lost as it was on Bruckner hub) I found a Aklexander Chernov site wich as 74 russians spacecraft models. They are in VRML but it seems easy to convert them in 3ds for Celestia. I am not good at all in those 3d thinks (so many options !) but I was able to see these some of this models in celestia : great !

Here is the link : http://vsm.host.ru/e_vrml.htm

bye

you've found hte mother load!!!

MAN...!!! That page has everything!!

I'm actually working on a Salyut 7 model at the moment (It's the only one Celestrak has orbital elements for)- hopefully i can improve it with these new models... (I'm just downloading a VRML viewer now...)

Very happy that impressed you ! (In fact i really thaught you already knew about this page).

I was able to convert VRML to 3DS with 3D studio max but some textures render "transparent" in Celestia...

For positionning, as in the NSSDC site there are some informations isn't it possible to recalculate what the travel could have been ? it would be better than nothing ?

an example with venera 1 : http://nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov/nmc/tmp/1961-003A.html

and thx again for your add-ons.
