Recommended Download:
Asteroid 2008 EA9 (dockable)Â
by joffrey, found @ http://www.orbithangar.com/searchid.php?ID=5909
Â
INSTALLATION:
Unzip the files into your Orbiter 2010 P1 folder (not tested in any other version)
Â
You will also have to add your own vessel of choice with the scenario editor. Â I don't specifically recommend any vehicle because I think trying different spacecraft will be part of the fun.
Â
DESCRIPTION:
This mod will create an Earth-impact asteroid approximately 1km in diameter in one of three locations. Â This asteroid will impact the Earth in the Mediterranean Sea on May 9, 2002 a little after 12:30, GMT. Â The impact could generate a 7.8 earthquake, winds up over 700mph, and a tsunami hundreds of meters high. Â Those not vaporized by the fireball will have the clothes on their back ignite as well as receive whole body 3rd degree burns within a radius of over 100km. Â Structures exposed to the fireball will spontaneously combust before being blown away like dry ashes.
Â
UNLESS you are able to somehow deflect the asteroid, saving millions of lives and civilization as we know it! Â The Doomsday asteroid is a dockable vessel! Â It has six docks so that you can experiment with different types of deflection. Â This gives you the ability to change it's course with attachable rockets or space tugs, basically anything you can think of with a dock and thrusters. Â Have fun!
Â
SINISTER ALTERNATIVE MISSION:
As an alternative mission, you can attempt to weaponize the asteroid by attaching rockets to it and steering it to the target of your choice like a giant missile while you campaign for global domination.
Â
Other notes:
The Doomsday asteroid does not have the original textures of 2008 EA9; I couldn't figure out how to reapply them so I made it a cool dark nickel-iron color. Â This mod is now a stand-alone add-on, as the files have been renamed per joffrey's request. Â Now the asteroid files will spawn in the same folder, but no files will be over written.Â
