For Updates to Existing Add-ons

For updates to existing add-ons, please attach the id to the add-on and only include updated fields from the template. For removal of add-ons, please attach the id too.

The id is part of the link to the add-on: For example, this addon below has an id of A4577B17-4C60-0C1E-CAB5-92A604FF0EC3 https://celestia.mobi/resources/item?item=A4577B17-4C60-0C1E-CAB5-92A604FF0EC3

Check Before Uploading an Add-on

Your add-on will be running on Android/iOS/macOS/Windows, to enable maximum compatibility, please ensure that:

1. File names referenced in models, ssc, dsc files, etc. are exactly the same as the actual file names (some file systems are case sensitive. For example if in your .ssc there is Mesh "Progress.cmod", then the file name should be exactly Progress.cmod not progress.cmod).
2. Textures should have width/height of power of 2 (for example: 1024 512, a texture of 1000 500 will not work on many mobile devices).
3. If your add-on requires specific Celestia versions, please mention in the description. Please also ensure that your add-on should not crash running on other versions.
4. If you are updating an existing add-on, note that existing users will not see an update button, so it might be a good idea to include version history in the description.
5. Please try to use smaller files for image/thumbnail/other metadata. For example, use JPG if alpha value is not needed.

Example:

Title: Kepler-1649 Description: The Kepler-1649 planetary system, which is a red dwarf star orbited by a Venus-analogue and an Earth-analogue. Alternate surfaces for planet c are included. Proposed category: Exoplanets Demo Object Name: Kepler-1649/c Author(s): SevenSpheres Release date: 2020-07-16 Link to download: Kepler-1649.zip Image:

Note, I took the description of this section from Wikipedia's article on Babylon 5. Can be replaced as I know nothing about Babylon 5.

Short Name: Babylon 5 Full Name: Fictional: Babylon 5 Description: The series follows the human military staff and alien diplomats stationed on a space station, Babylon 5, built in the aftermath of several major inter-species wars as a neutral ground for galactic diplomacy and trade. Major plotlines included Babylon 5's embroilment in a millennial cyclic conflict between ancient races, inter-race wars and their aftermaths, and intra-race intrigue and upheaval. The human characters, in particular, become pivotal to the resistance against Earth's descent into totalitarianism. Parent: Fictional Image:

[DaveBowman2001]

Short Name: Star Wars

As I'd also like to add a Star Wars addon section, it would be somewhat problematic as all the existing addons are placed in a single star system somewhere in Corona Borealis

[Anthony-B-Russo10]

Most of the addons are stuck in RHO CrB, which means they will be stuck constantly looking at the two exoplanets actually orbiting the star. If need be I will update the addon to change what star the added planets are around. Also there are two versions of the Discovery One, a low res 3DS version and a higher res and heftier CMOD version. Out of those two should be added since I already have the 3DS version saved to my Google Drive to upload here.

Title: Extrasolar planet vs Solar System Orbit comparison Description (Legacy): This addon shows a selection of exo-planets compared with the planets of our solar system (Pluto included) and some of their moons around the star 18 Scorpii. HD 149026 b(the hottest known exo-planet) was modified to give its suspected appearance,and Eps Eri c and d, and Lalande 21185 b and c were included despite the fact that they have not been confirmed. (Note: Addon has not been updated since 2011.) Proposed category: Fictional Demo Object Name: 18 Sco Author(s): Friendship7 Release date: 2009-07-02 18:08 Link to download: SystemCompare.zip Image:

I'm planning to add linuxman's version for Discovery One as it includes the EVA portions seen in the film. It needs an update though for 1.6.2 and 1.7.0/Mobile

[Anthony-B-Russo10]

Ah ok, so there are only a three 2001 addons I need to get off the Motherlode then.

[DaveBowman2001]

Linuxman had a complete 2001 addon (Tycho Base, Station V, Orion III, Aries 1B, and Clavius Base) made on the same link I provided. The only thing missing is ironically the Monolith TMA-2 and the ships from 2010 (which does not exist as an addon)

[Anthony-B-Russo10]

I think the Monolith is up there and that I have it installed somewhere, if it is I'll split it out and upload it here along with the 1960's Earth texture addon.

Title: Ceti Alpha System Description (Legacy): Ceti Alpha V was a "habitable, although a bit savage, somewhat in-hospitable" planet chosen by Captain Kirk to resettle Khan Noonien Singh and the crew of the Botany Bay after their attempted takeover of the Enterprise in 2267. (TOS: "Space Seed") Six months later, Ceti Alpha VI exploded, shifting Ceti Alpha V's orbit and rendering the latter planet incapable of supporting complex life. This was discovered when the USS Reliant visited the system in 2285. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan)

In an alternate timeline, Ceti Alpha V was the refuge for the last 6,000 members of the Human species in the 2150s and 2160s, survivors of the devastating Xindi attacks on Earth and its colonies, as it was far from the Delphic Expanse. (ENT: "Twilight") (License: This add-on is the creation of Tim Wilson; it is free for non commercial use. If modified or used in other ways, ask first, and please give proper credits.) Proposed category: Fictional: Star Trek Demo Object Name: Ceti Alpha Author(s): fungun Release date: 2009-01-15 22:31 Link to download: CetiAlphaX2.zip Image:

Title: Monolith TMA-2 Description (Legacy): This adds the larger of the monoliths TMA-2. (Note: This addon was separated out of the 2001 Spacecraft Pack addon on the Celestia Motherlode by Frank Gregorio.) Proposed category: Fictional: 2001: A Space Odyssey Demo Object Name: TMA-2 Author(s): Frank Gregorio Release date: 2004-11-04 20:24 Link to download: Monolith_TMA-2.zip Image:

[Anthony-B-Russo10]

Title: The Earth in 2001 Description (Legacy): In the movie 2001 "A Space Odyssey," the Earth, as seen from space, is different from the real photos. That is because, in 1968, when the film was directed by the great Stanley Kubrick, the only photos of the Earth from space are in gray scale. Only when the Apollo 11 mission took the first Earth color photos, was the Earth seen in true color.

This add-on shows the relative fantasy space rendering, and not the real Earth image. Proposed category: Fictional: 2001: A Space Odyssey Demo Object Name: Earth Author(s): Hal Bowman Release date: 2008-11-29 12:55 Link to download: 2001_earth_surface.zip Image:

Title: Tatooine, Endor and Death Star Description (Legacy): This is a slightly modified and resurrected basic package of Jestr's Star Wars add-on. It contains Tatooine, Endor and Death Star. This package is required for the most other Star wars add-ons by Jestr. The following modifications were mady by Ulrich Dickmann (Adirondack) in December 2012: -correct folder structure -fixed ssc file Original release date of unedited addon is 2004. Proposed category: Fictional: Star Wars Demo Object Name: RHO CrB Author(s): Jestr, Adirondack Release date: 2012-12-22 14:48 Link to download: StarWars_upd.zip Image:

Title: Babylon 5 (B5-1) Description (Legacy): Planet Epsilon Eridani 3, the Babylon 5 Station Maintenance Bot and the Thunderbolt Starfury. Original Planet Textures by Matthew Tarling and Jeff Richard. Babylon 5 Station was converted from an original Lightwave model by Matthew Tarling. The Thunderbolt Starfury was converted from an original 3DSMAX model by Conor Clancy. The Maintenance Bot was converted from an original Lightwave model by Craig A. Clarke. NOTE: You may wish to rename some of the texture files as they use capitalized file extensions rather than the normal lower-case extensions. This may or may not interfere with viewing the add-ons on some PC's. Also, to get to this add-on you need to use the ENTER-TYPE NAME-ENTER method in order to type in EPS ERI as the star to go to. Then right-click the star and select Epsilon Eridani 3 as the planet to go to. All Babylon 5 add-ons can be located in this way.

[DaveBowman2001]

@Anthony-B-Russo10 for Babylon 5, before uploading the other content, may I suggest we should wait until B5-1 is uploaded so that we could know what its ID is so that the other B5-related addons can work properly

[Anthony-B-Russo10]

That was the plan. The same goes for Jestr's Star Wars addons due to how they are structured needing the main Tatooine, Endor, Death Star Addon installed first.

[DaveBowman2001]

I forgot this project existed! @Anthony-B-Russo10, we could move Jestr's Star Wars addons into the stars generated by TheShadow1138 here, which are placed roughly in the Triangulum Galaxy! Also, apparently linuxman's Star Wars addons (TPM and AOTC) are also based on RHO CrB

It might be better if we upload the TheShadow1138's STC files that make up the "Star Wars Galaxy" first, and then upload the planets later on. In this way they wouldn't be necessarily confined in a single star system in the Milky Way

[SevenSpheres]

Title: German Orbital Weapon Title: French Orbital Weapon Title: Chinese Orbital Weapon

Is it really necessary to split every fictional spacecraft into its own addon? Why not just upload the original, combined addon?

I'm not sure of the best way to handle Star Wars planets - they shouldn't orbit Rho Coronae Borealis, nor should they orbit the stars from the "Star Wars Galaxy" addon since those are incorrectly placed just outside Triangulum.

Title: Moon Terraformed Description: A view of our Moon after being terraformed Proposed Category: Fictional, Others Demo Object Name: Moon Author(s): Mynameislol Release date: 2011-07-15 Link to download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/16OYKvfuAJRF0K-AeYAilXTjalV3gQ5jO/view?usp=drivesdk Additional Metadata:

They are odd in that way, though that goes with all the Star Wars addon. The only Star Wars addon that isn't confined to RHO CrB is the Ventor Class Star Destroyer addon which is oddly placed around Earth.

Title: Russell's teapot Description: Russell's teapot is an analogy, formulated by philosopher Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) to illustrate that the philosophic burden of proof lies upon a person making empirically unfalsifiable claims, rather than shifting the burden of disproof to others. He wrote that if he were to assert, without offering proof, that a teapot, too small to be seen by telescopes, orbits the Sun somewhere in space between the Earth and Mars, he could not expect anyone to believe him solely because his assertion could not be proven wrong.

Title: 130 Elektra Description: 130 Elektra is a large asteroid from the outer part of the asteroid belt. It was discovered on February 17, 1873 by astronomer Christian Peters. Elektra has three moons around it, which it believes are fragments of Elektra created from a disruptive impact Proposed Category: Asteroids & NEOs Demo Object Name: Elektra Author(s): Art Blos, Snowfall-The-Cat, gradius_fanatic  Release date: 2022-06-19 Link to download: 130 Elektra.zip Image:

Title: BLITS Description: BLITS (Ball Lens In The Space) is a Russian satellite launched on September 17, 2009. The satellite is totally passive and spherical. The design of BLITS is based on the optical Luneburg lens concept. The retroreflector is a multilayer glass sphere; it provides uniform reflection characteristics when viewed within a very wide range of angles, and can provide a sufficient cross-section for observations at low to medium orbit heights. The satellite's mission ended in 2013 after a collision with space debris.

NOTE: To view the BLITS satellite, you must set the time on Celestia between September 17, 2009 and April 1, 2013.
