Sorry to disturb you. I am puzzled about the location of the satellite 3d model in the project. I hope you have time to provide more detailed information and look forward to your reply！

The models do not appear to be included in this github. Here is the code that calls them.

https://github.com/Flowm/satvis/blob/8419430e79d04f620bc18c49a9b81377bdf159e9/src/modules/SatelliteEntityWrapper.js#L110

Which means they are located here - https://satvis.space/data/models/ (You can't just go here and download things from a list because the directory is protected).

Hi there, thanks for posting.

When I started the project a few years ago I searched for freely available 3D models of satellites and started converting a few of them to a cesium compatible format (gltf/glb).

Unfortunatly the list of freely available 3D model data for satellites (at least at that time) was quite limited. Even the nasa repository I was using as primary source had only a few satellites with various data formats that each required significant amount of work.

If you have any other sources for compatible 3D models I'd be happy to share the (currently private) git-lfs tracked repository for collaboration. In the meantime I listed the currently available models below:

NASA Models:

https://satvis.space/data/models/CLOUDSAT.glb
https://satvis.space/data/models/GPM-CORE.glb
https://satvis.space/data/models/GRACE-FO.glb
https://satvis.space/data/models/ISS-(ZARYA).glb
https://satvis.space/data/models/LANDSAT-8.glb

3D-Models from the cubesat project I was involved in at that time:

https://satvis.space/data/models/FIRST-MOVE.glb
https://satvis.space/data/models/MOVE-II.glb

```Thanks for the resources you mentioned. It really helped me a lot. Besides, I've seen projects you've done before, and it's really a great project.
