Pioneer 10 not in Celestia...why?

Post #1by alegator » 19.01.2003, 11:53

I wonder why the version of Celestia includes Voyager 1&2 and Galileo but does not include Pioneer 10, one of the first deep space and most distant spaceprobes...
Does anyone know where to download a 3ds file together with xyz or ssc with orbital parameters to be included in Celestia?
Thanks.
I have Celestia v1.2.5 running on the following machine:
Dell Dimension8200
WinXP Pro/SP1
P4 2.53Ghz 533MhzFSB
2Gb RDRAM PC800
ATI RADEON8500 PRO 128MB videocard
Viewsonic VP230mb 23.1" LCD 1600x1200 native
2 HD 120Gb each

Yes I know, I was just wondering because Pioneer is a highly relevant historic probe as Voyager .
