Open astrodavid10 opened 3 years ago
Do you think this is a new issue? This seems like the kind of functionality that would have been exercised in the past ..
I don't think that it is new... I'm not sure I had ever put forth good effort to get a new ref frame to have children ref frames with something like a trajectory.
Flagged by @astrodavid10 as something to look at for the upcoming release. CC @Carifio24.
@astrodavid10 I was looking into this using the example that you gave, but I'm unsure what I should expect to see at these reference frames. If I track Bennu, I see this:
When I track OSIRIS-REx, I see:
I can pan around and see the trajectory intersecting itself, like this:
I'm just curious what I should expect to see at the OSIRIS reference frame.
@Carifio24 The green are the orbits of OSIRIS-REx around Bennu and they should be attached to Bennu and not the Sun. If you are tracking OSIRIS-REx and zoom out you'll notice that it is residing in the Sun.
@Carifio24 They are the correct shape and scale (or at least close) but are attached as a child of the sun incorrectly.
@astrodavid10 Ah, ok. For some reason, I'm actually unable to zoom in or out when tracking either of these layers. I also get the warning that "This file does not seem to be a valid collection", but the layers still appear in the layer manager.
I know that parts of WWTL files are often compressed, so I'm wondering if decompressing the .zip that you attached had some adverse effect. Could you share the (unzipped) layer file?
If I create a reference frame for an asteroid like Bennu and then create a ref frame as a child to show OSIRIS-REx's orbit at Bennu, it centers and scales for the sun instead. See the attached. OSIRIS-REx.zip
