NEW CASSINI TRAJECTORIES

[Jay55]

Hi I am new to Celestia but have already added on a few add-ons. Its very addictive I can spend hours just flying around the solar system and beyond. On my version of Celestia which I only downloaded a few weeks ago, the Cassini probe stops dead in its tracks at the end of August 2008 which coincides with the end of its primary mission. Does anyone have the new trajectories for the extended 2yr mission which will include flybys of Enceladus, Titan, Dione, Rhea and Helene. Thanks

Jestr wrote that trajectory three years ago, and i have no more data on it. But if anybody can get me the data, i will update the old add-on and re-issue the Cassini/Huygens mission. I haven?t heard from Jestr in ages, but i would think he?s OK with that, since i upped the previous update for him, too. It is high time to update it for 1.6 anyway.

Yeah, I'm wondering about Jestr. I miss him. I hope he's okay.

I think Jestr is okay since he was online about 14 days ago.

@ Jestr: Give us a sign of life and a lot of people here would be happy!

If you are using the latest Celestia beta, you can use my Cassini addon that makes use of Spice kernel files:
