Hi Art Blos! If you're interested in adding these to Celestia Origin, I have newer versions of the Salyut space stations created starting on this page, in addition to Mir. Thanks

Gradually we will try to add everything, but it’s not a fact that it will fit into the next release. Our main task now is somewhat different.

[Art Blos]

Added "Mariner 6" and "Mariner 7".

Some oddities

• 229762 Gǃkúnǁʼhòmdímà is typically converted to ASCII as G!kun||'homdima, not G!kunll'homdima (vertical bars, not Ls)... though which looks better depends on the font, it seems like
• 2006 UL321 is not in the JPL Small-Body Database, though it is in the MPC database; not sure what's up with this

[Art Blos]

SevenSpheres < Roger that. As soon as I create trajectories for all the new moons of Saturn (at the moment 56 out of 63 are ready), I will work with asteroids.

[SevenSpheres]

New name: 524522 Zoozve = 2002 VE68

[Art Blos]

Added 63 new Saturn's moons.

[Art Blos]

Added new moon of Uranus (S/2023 U 1) and two new moons of Neptune (S/2002 N 5, S/2021 N 1).

[Art Blos]

I've checked Celestia Origin's entire catalog of minor planets for things that need to be updated.

Everything has been completed in full. 2006 UL321 will remain for now, perhaps more data will appear later.

Keep watching, you are doing a great service to the project. But for the nearest release work with asteroids has complete.

[Gurren Lagann]

2006 UL321 will remain for now, perhaps more data will appear later.

That one is funny, its a 30-min arc object that's likely not real and likely lost forever, with an impressive TWO observations.

[Art Blos]

The parameters of the hypothetical Planet Nine have been updated according to assumption of its influence on the meteoroid CNEOS 2014-01-08.

[SevenSpheres]

Minor planets with new numbers

• (666739) 2010 TS191
• (666823) 2010 VR11
• (668643) 2012 DR30
• (672457) 2014 UR116
• (673087) 2015 AJ281 = 2011 FW62
• (678191) 2017 OF69

Minor planets with new satellites

• 2280 Kunikov
• 6974 Solti

And another thing about names... 702 Alauda I = Pichi üñëm is written with a space, not a hyphen.

[Art Blos]

SevenSpheres < I must say that it was very untimely.

[Art Blos]

Added a new version of "ViDiBa" (Virtual Discrete Bases) with support for subsections and descriptions of categories of minor planets.

[Art Blos]

New release have been postponed to May June July.
