Thanks gironde...

Today I made some corrections for model... and now next step... xyzv-trajectory for Venera-4 will be ready during week...

Venera-4 model for Celestia....

(colors for work...)

work is still continues...

Job done! Mariner 10 trajectory is more accuracy now... Venus flyby: difference by distance: +126 km... in Celestia - 5894 km... Real - 5768 km... difference by date: +1 minute!.... in Celestia - 05 Feb 1974 17:02 UTC... Real - 05 Feb 1974 17:01 UTC Mercury first flyby: difference by distance: -3 km...

I feel these models will need to be updated as they appear low quality to today's standards.

Yes, SpaceFanatic64... these models are too low quality... just saw..

Mariner 10 is not planned to improve? Its model is not the most successful.

Yes, Art Blos... but maybe later...

For Venera see :

Thanks Gironde...

Guys, do we have a good 3D-models of Venera-2-10 spacecrafts??? Want to make trajectories for Venera-spacecrafts...

Now Mariner-10 trajectory by toutatis is more accuracy by date and distance of Venus, Mercury flyby... Venus flyby: difference by distance: +163 km... in Celestia - 5931 km... Real - 5768 km... difference by date: - 46 minutes.... in Celestia - 05 Feb 1974 16:15 UTC... Real - 05 Feb 1974 17:01 UTC M...

Thanks Askaniy...

Added after 4 minutes 7 seconds:
a lot of work, but I will try to make more 3d-models of spacecrafts during this year, and trajectories for them as well...

want to make these models too...

Just corrected model of Double Star spacecraft... Gironde's addon now less than 1 MGbt...

We have all the hope for Toutatis, that he should step up work on creating models of spacecraft of the USSR and Russia.

I will try... Thanks...

Venus-Express, Mars-Express, ExoMars(TGO), Gaia, Giotto, Lisa-Pathfinder it's a very good looking models... need to bring them to Celestia space... to change old ones...

I like this !

Thanks

Finally an ESA website dedicated to 3D models of its achievements

That's great...

.................

XYZV-trajectory for Mariner 10 (first variant)... It was hard task to make this trajectory because of several planet flyby, but I made it... Mercury encounters happens in 2 days earlier, but I work to solve this problem... but difference between real flyby distance is just several tens of kilometers...

If possible, can you also do the Zond 3 mission?

All I need it's more info about space missions (prefer is a trajectory data) and lot of free time... the last can be a problem, because of my main job... But I will try...
