Thank you! It looks very good to me.
Now we wait for longer time span orbit in HORIZONS/JPL

It's a good beginning for this first release !

Encapsulation few days before the departure...

jujuapapa,you learn to read. In my post, I said that the cmod files were deadlocked once created and that the original 3ds files should be kept. There is no import plugin for cmod files in anim8or but only an export plugin.

"vous n'avez rien compris ou c'est vous qui êtes de mauvaise foi"

Right, it was export, here is the box for the import.

made by myself, @jujuapapa.

Je crois qu'on peut clore ce point.

With PSP, we never stuck more to the news!
thank you, Toutatis, and congratulations

[gironde]

Yes , jujuapapa.

Just one last point: you do not want to share your work with the community? That would be nice.

[toutatis]

Thank you! It looks very good to me.

It's amazing! August 12 launch of the PSP, and August 18 new addon!!!

[Gurren Lagann]

Good job on the PSP!

I cant believe that I missed such a important launch (it was like 4 AM)...

[SpaceFanatic64]

Thank you, Toutatis! We were all waiting for the launch of this spacecraft!

@ for you, tu planes tellement...

from xp11.25, lower in altitude than celestia...

ADM-Aeolus

#satellite card
# Aeolus COSPAR 2018-066A/Norad 43600
# launch 22-08-2018 21:20 UTC
# Launch site Kourou ELV
# mass 1.366 kg
# body dimension 1.74m × 1.9m × 2m
# Reference system Geocentric
# Regime Sun-synchronous
# Mission duration 3 years (planned)

#"This is a unique system that could bring the world of the weather into a new era.
#The European Space Agency (ESA) Aeolus Wind Study Satellite was launched Wednesday 22 August 2018
# aboard the Vega rocket from the Kourou base in French Guiana.
# Placed in orbit at an altitude of 320 kilometers, Aeolus will fill this gap and turn 24 hours a day
#and seven days a week around the Earth. He will measure the wind speed with his powerful laser
#Aladin, the fruit of sixteen years of research, a lidar able to identify the particles transported
#by the winds thanks to its luminous flashes to establish an accurate cartography of their speed
#and their direction. "

data from Norad
mesh : generic from Motherlode

Gironde, a beautiful companion with a beautiful mythological name!
What operational work with the model!
Congratulations!

[gironde]

Attention, Croc, this is not the true model because it does not exist to my knowledge. This is a generic satellite that I found on Motherlode. On the other hand, the orbital data come from Norad

[toutatis]

Attention, Croc, this is not the true model because it does not exist to my knowledge.

I will try to make the model of Aeolus... it seems it's not so hard...

Time span now is to 2025-Aug-31 09:20 soo can You update orbit?

[gironde]

here change psp.xyzv by psp2025.xyzv

Code: Select all

"Parker Solar Probe" "Sol"
{
   Class    "spacecraft"
   Mesh "psp.cmod"
   Orientation   [ 180 0 1 0 ]
   Radius   0.0015
   Beginning   "2018 08 12  08:16:24"   # 2018 Aug 12 08:16:24.0000 TDB
   Ending   "2025 08 31  08:16:24"      # 2025 08 31 08:16:24.0000 TDB -- end of xyz file

   SampledTrajectory
   {
      Source   "psp2025.xyzv"
      DoublePrecision   true
      Interpolation   "cubic"
...


change the name of source in the line Source

I will make more accuracy trajectory than made Gironde... during hour...

[toutatis]

Done... unzip and copy this file to the data folder...
