New Chandra model is ready... (Original model from NASA, prepared for Celestia by Toutatis)

just corrected Chandra model in CMODVIEW... now the texture looks better... and I changed the model already in add-on that I posted above,,,

DaveBowman2001... Your SSC-file for Stardust add-on is great... Thanks very much! :smile:

Remember when you said you were going to create a new version of the Swift Observatory without defects? I thought you already created a new version with textures. Not sure why you're doing it again. :think:

@SpaceFanatic64, please be patient...3D modelling is not that easy to do.
He will release it soon, don't worry

Pleasure is all yours, @toutatis, welcome! :biggrin:

TESS... SWIFT... doesn't let me sleep well...
Today I made this TESS... I don't know if you will like this new model or no... but I think I finished with TESS...

No worries, toutatis, I think this model looks much better than the previously untextured one. I didn't download the other one at first, since you said it had no textures. And without textures, the model doesn't look too good.

Nice model !

But I saw a problem with ssc file.
Half of the year solar panels are on wrong orientation because Tess is not in heliosynchron rotation. :cry:

Jeesh, jujuapapa! You always seem to find something you don't like about it! If you don't like it, then why don't you customize it yourself?

Calm down, jujuapapa, I'm not trying to start a flame war, ok? It just annoys me when you act like this.

SpaceFanatic64 and jujuapapa, you two fight eachother too much... Can you two stop? If you don't, i have to bring my mech here! Activate Gurren Lagann (the mech)!

Is Gurren Lagann your actual name? Just curious.

Did you not read my post above? I said I wasn't trying to start a flame war.

Jujuapapa, I'm sorry for the way I acted. Looking back, I was very immature, but that was because I had a bad day and was in a bitter mood. I apologize for my unacceptable behavior. :sad:

New spacecraft: WIND
If I'm not mistaken, I believe there is orbital data on HORIZONS.
