WARNING There is a major error in the latest SSC files, starting with the asteroids from 757000 to 773916. The Radius value is set to MBA, so it's zero. I'm currently making changes and will provide corrections as soon as possible. This is my publication 11.03.2025, 08:04 the files concerned are the...

Qianfan are Chinese communications satellites constellation from Shanghai Spacecom Satellite Technology competitors of SpaceX's Starlink. Prevision 12000 satellites Given the lack of information on these satellites, I'm using the Starlink model (by DaveBowman2001), which is very similar, according t...

LunarOrbiter.cmod

at home, I work with the option "Visible false", when I switch to "Visible true" on this object, celestia bug. I temporarily put a generic mesh.

DaveBowman2001, While writing my post, I was thinking more about Hera, for example, for which you separated hera_body and hera_solar, the second as 'diffuse' I would have preferred a single object combining body + solar panel to be able to manipulate a single object. The other cases which consist of...

The type of 3D model with several cmod to represent a complete satellite (1 main object class "spacecraft" and 1 second class "diffuse") does not adapt well to the use of the parameter 'Visible false' or 'Visible true' because to see the object in its entirety, you have to select...

I also had this effect on a desktop PC with Windows 7 32-bit. Alexell explained this bug to me and since then I use the first option to display stars.

As this bug could never be fixed since it depends on the graphics card, it would be enough to report it in the menu by
(may not work)

EOLE was a Franco-American weather program (CNES and NASA). The first satellite EOLE 1 was preceded by the launch of a PEOLE test satellite If EOLE 1 is still present in the CelesTrak catalog, I had to ask for the history of PEOLE. I offer you here the ssc file for these 2 satellites. As I did not f...
