Orions hubble model is available off my shuttle page. TERRIER has added some neat detailing:



Check it out (it doesn't come with a shuttle!)

Lovely model. Big improvement. Thanks to everyone who contributed to making it available

Nice, indeed, thank you Terrier for the release, and bh for the download.
I'll replace the HST by this adress in my catalogu

Had nobody been able to collect the data of the large model on which Orion_Nebula worked?

Thanks guys for the updated Hubble. The lettering looks nice. However, would it be possible to add the texture to the solar panels? Orion's original model had only shiny silver flat panels with no grid or photovoltiac surface and this upgraded model shares that limitation. We have lots of solar panel grid textures available in other models, so it would not be difficult, I don't think, and would make the model that much more true-to-life.

Thanks and regards

Frank...I've a modeling day on Wednesday this week...mainly for Atlantis/Mir but I will try to apply these textures to the hubble too.

I'm just in the process of looking at the model again, and I reckon I can give it a few more refinements.
For a start off, I've found a good version of the NASA font, which I can use to improve the logo.
I'll try and get some more detailing done as well, and maybe give it a texture or two.

Hopefully be done in a few days!

Hey TERRIER

Save yourself the work- don't forget the mesh NASA logo I made HERE That's what it's there for, after all!

It's based on THIS image, which is the largest NASA logo I could find anywhere online (1008 x 863)

Don't worry, I aint forgot !

I'm not sure if the 'new' logo is on the HST ?

It just appears to have that slightly naff red text logo of NASA. Maybe it's where there's a dark splodge, just after the final 'A' ?

Luckily I've managed to find a version of the NASA font, which allows me to re-produce this very easily.

TERRIER, the "splodge" that's located after the last A in NASA on HST is the ESA logo. ESA made the first two pairs of the HST's Solar Arrays. If you want to improve the HST even more I can really recommend this NASA page: http://hubble.nasa.gov/technology/schematics.html
It's NASA's original blueprints of the HST. And trust me, they're really an good assist when modelling the HST. I have done it for ORBITER.

Cheers for the info Orbiterfan, I've already got the pdf file with the 4 schematics of Hubble.

Originally, I wasn't intending to do too much to the model, but now I'm beginning to think differently....
....but I don't want to take too long completing it, and I still want to keep the file size to a reasonable level.

Do you have the ESA logo ?

TERRIER wrote:Do you have the ESA logo ?

Why yes, yes I do!

You can rip it from the top of the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO) model, and although it isn't entirely accurate, it's about the same standard as the original NASA mesh logo I made. Funnily enough, I was thinking about doing a better one earlier today while looking at Ulysses, which also needs an improved version...

Heh. The "wormlogo" - Dan Goldin's nemesis...
DETAILS at http://www.nasawatch.com, where I can't find the page ATM..

I intend to make a mesh version of this logo too, when I get the time - it was used for everything between the ASTP and Hubble, so it's pretty important...

*ESA promptly stops using Celestia on the big screen in Darmstadt*

Apologies to ESA
I'd never have known it was their logo. Is there a better picture out there showing it ?

Jack
Cheers, I forgot about taking the logo off ISO.

The "wormlogo" aint that bad, it's just that the version on the HST, looks to have gone slightly wrong. I think someone had a bit of trouble with the "S"

The wormlogo on HST was just damaged by various bits of space debris- it's been up there for more than 10 years! The LDEF spacecraft, which orbited from 84-90, had 4,000 visible impact sites from debris, and about 16,000 smaller impacts, so Hubble is surely going to have something similar!

I can't find any good image of the ESA logo on hubble at the moment, but i'm sure you could just stick on the ISO one, and it'd look fine.

OK then, I'll let the sign writer off

Already done it Jack, and it looks pretty cool thanks. I just wanted to see an image, 'cos I wouldn't have known it was there!

Nearly done !

I've just sent bh a copy, I hope it's been received ok

OK, here's a sneaky preview;


and for those of you who wanted some more dynamic solar panels ;

Terrier, it's very very beautiful.
Will be available in a short time?
Thank you very much

Yep, in celestia you can make things a lot nicer than in real life.
In reality if you get up close to Hubble, it really is quite ugly, especially the NASA logo
Also in future, I might carry out the cancelled SM-4 service mission, to improve it yet further.

bh is still going to host the model, when he gets his computer problems sorted out, but in the meantime you can download it here;

Please note that this model comes with a brand new .ssc file. So you will need to modify or delete your existing Hubble settings.

TERRIER...excellent model...computer is due to be fixed Tuesday! I live in fear!

Can't wait to get this one in orbit!
