    Vessel Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer

    EDIT: The solar tracking does work, but the panels themselves do not point towards the Sun. And it wasn't autotracking unfortunately

    3 = Solar array = the +X panel prematurely deploys through the main body while the -X panel moves flawlessly 4 = RIME = Also deploys through the main body in later stages K = Solar tracking = Non-responsive The magnetometer, HGA and RWPI deployment animations are just fine. No problems found...

    Side note: Some animations are a little bit glitchy, and the solar tracking capability doesn't work yet, but overall I can say this is a great addon! Thanks @gattispilot

    Vessel Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer

    Here is JUICE shortly after separating from the Ariane 5. The orbital state vectors were based from the very first data defined on JPL HORIZONS The trajectory implied that the spacecraft was launched into a 28.5 degree orbit around the Earth. What I'm not sure is if it was sent first into a...

    I'd like to check JPL HORIZONS for the state vectors of JUICE during those events

    Just a little nitpick....seems like the fairing is larger than the actual hardware itself. It is only as wide as its base rocket I think @jacquesmomo has the right size for Ariane 5's fairings already on his Kourou-CSG addon that we could probably use for JUICE

    Five of them are left still living (Aldrin, Haise, Scott, Duke and Schmitt)

    I wonder if the paper model version of its Ariane 5 by AXM would be a lot of help in this situation.

    Vessel Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer

    It was launched from an Ariane 5 in April 2023

    I agree. The Z-axis should be pointed where the main engine is oriented

    Update Multistage2015 Update to OpenOrbiter2024

    Fred definitely did adapt MS2015 to Orbiter2010 first, then when Orbiter2016 came out a year later, he made it also compatible with that version as well

    Here is the link on every single specs published by the European Space Agency: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Juice/Juice_spacecraft_specs There's even an animation video demonstrating how it deploys itself after being jettisoned from the Ariane 5

    I'd like to request for an add-on of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), which was launched from the penultimate Ariane 5 flight in April 2023, now on its way to Jupiter alongside Europa Clipper, both expected to arrive by 2031 and 2030 respectively.

    OHM Baikonur Cosmodrome (Surface Tiles for Low Global Textures)

    Would love if the trench depressions on each launch pads, especially the Soyuz and Energia pads are dug out like those from jacquesmomo's Kourou add-on

    I wonder if the shuttle middeck is possible to include here

    Vessel Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope

    Looks like it is not rigid at all...kinda like the sunshield of the JWST

    I have created a simple SCN file depicting NGRST arrived at the Sun-Earth Lagrange (L2) point...which I retrieved and converted directly from JPL-HORIZONS
