Any apolo 11 models to orbit the moon

Post #1by Darkmiss » 26.08.2002, 09:51

Dose anyone know of an Apolo 11 space craft
that has been made for Celestia
I would love to have that on a moon orbit

Or any Space Shuttles to orbit Earth ?

I would like to have a Shuttle orbiting very close to the ISS
so it looks like it is coming in to dock.

I have Sputnik, in orbit around the earth

I have a highly detailed Apollo11 model which also includes the Service Module (SM). It can be downloaded here: http://www.geocities.com/rojomoyo/night_vision.html and click the link "3D Apollo Model" to download.
Lemme know what you think. :)

It should be working now. If it still doesn't then I'll take suggestions on where to post it. (I usually manage intranet sites... never bothered with internet hosting.) :oops:

Here's an Apollo model as well as an .ssc file that places it in orbit around the Moon:

Just unpack it into your Celestia directory . . .

That's a great model. I hadn't looked at it when Shrox first posted it.

One small historical nitpick: I could be wrong here, but I believe that if the spacecraft is in lunar orbit, the lunar module's legs ought to be in the extended landing position already, rather than retracted to fit in the Saturn adapter cone.

The model I provided is just that of the Command Module and Service Module. The Lunar Module has already seperated and gone down to the surface. :) Or you can just rename my model to be anywhere from Apollo 2 to Apollo 10... :lol: and that'd be perfectly okay too.

Many thanks for your wonderful model, the detail is awesome. I especially like the interior modelling!

Have you plans to do any more?

Have you had any feedback by Shrox concerning your model?

I have future plans to do a highly detailed (interior and exterior) Space Shuttle model, SRB's, and the Main Tank, but (and I probably shouldn't tell you this) I'm going to be devoting my time at ILM on the production of Star Wars Ep. III. Right now, we're working with the art department on conceptual work. I'll probably have a month or two next summer to work on the Shuttle Model but then it's back to ILM, probably up until the summer of 2004, and I will say no more. :wink: As for Shrox's feedback, I didn't get any as of yet. :)

PS: Please don't ask me about Star Wars Ep III as I've been sworn to secrecy.
