Thank Toutatis for this modification of Osiris-Rex, Bennu, Ryugu

Yes, Gironde...

Progress M cargo ship:

Beautiful model!



Comparison of the number of flights:

Tianzhou(CNSA) - 1
ATV (ESA) - 5
HTV (JAXA) - 6
Cygnus (USA) - 10
Soyuz TM (USSR/Russia) - 130
Progress M (USSR/Russia) - 156

It is used to supply the ISS, orbit corrections to the ISS. Originally used for Soviet and Russian space stations.

Recently, I saw this at http://www.celestiaaddons.wixsite.com/celestiaaddons/stobjects :

This is amazing !

Gironde, all of your models are suffering from a smoothing problem. The curved surfaces are all polygonal with clear faces, while they should be smooth. There's something wrong you're doing for the curved surfaces, with your modeler.

Updates for OSIRIS-REx and GRAIL... this will show the trajectories with still greater accuracy...

WISE.. another space telescope... I have found this today... http://wise.ssl.berkeley.edu/documents/WISE_in_a_box_3b.pdf
Let's try to make this...

My next work is....

Just made this model of the Launch Complex for Atlas-5, but becos I don't know yet how to put it on the ground, I launched it in the space to see how it looks... lol

Hi Toutatis.
I think you need an ssc file with the usual data and the line
LongLat [ 63.31027 45.79527 0.040 ]
This one is for N1 launch site in Baikonour, you need to modify Long and Lat according to the real thing, without changing the height over the ground 0.040.
I think this should solve.
Bye.

Thanks very much Goofy... I will try... but next week I will make Atlas-5 Centaur... I am a big fan of NASA and SpaceX...

The INSIGHT project for Celestia at this stage of work currently...

Cham,

I know that my models are not always on top. In fact, I am not a modeler. I have Blender and it allows me to edit the free models that I find on some sites. I learn little by little, among other things by removing parasitic objects. But the rest of the immensity of the parameters in Blender puzzles me. In fact I do not understand much. I do what I can. For some time, I leave in models the 3DS files so that someone can edit them because once in .cmod, we can not go back.

[Cham]

Gironde,

that's okay. Of course I understand. Modeling can be very complicated and learning to use a new modeler isn't easy. I know Blender is very complicated, so be patient. If you like 3D modeling, just practice, and practice, ...

[gironde]

Yes Cham

Yes, but I also do other things. I collaborate with Croc on LUT. I try scripts and propose to him. And right now, we must add all the latest models of spacecrafts and adapt the frames.

InSight is a robotic lander designed to study the interior of the planet Mars. The mission launched on 5 May 2018 at 11:05 UTC and is expected to land on the surface of Mars at Elysium Planitia on 26 November 2018,where it will deploy a seismometer and burrow a heat probe. It will also perform a radio science experiment to study the internal structure of Mars... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InSight

[Croc]

InSight is a robotic lander

The name is a backronym for Interior Exploration using Seismic Investigations, Geodesy and Heat Transport.

In the screenshot InSight 2 hours before landing on Mars.

The probe is based on the Phoenix landing probe design.

Toutatis, thanks for the new product!

[toutatis]

Thanks Croc... I also have the parts of the InSight lander model in (.mesh)... but I will try to make the model for Celestia when the real spacecraft will reach the Mars and we get a new data from NASA...
