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.

Title: Solar Maximum Mission ID Requirement: 1C Description: The Solar Maximum Mission (SolarMax) is a solar observatory launched in February 1980 that prematurely malfunctioned in November of the same year. Four years later, it became the first-ever satellite repaired in space during the STS-41-C (Challenger) mission in April 1984. Afterwards it continued to observe the Sun until an intense geomagnetic storm on March 1989 accelerated its orbital decay until it reentered the Earth's atmosphere on December 1989

NOTES:

• Requires the Space Shuttle addon to view its repair during STS-41-C. See the table provided on that addon on when to view this particular shuttle mission in Celestia
• SolarMax can only be viewed in Celestia between 1984-Feb-14 until 1989-Dec-2

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 2009-Sept-17 and 2013-Apr-1

Hypothetical and Disproven

Title: Alpha Centauri B Description: Alpha Centauri Bb is a proposed exoplanet that would be orbiting the star Alpha Centauri B (Toliman) 4.37 light-years away from Earth. The possible discovery of the planet was announced in October 2012 by European astronomers. In October 2015, astronomers at the University of Oxford published a scientific paper refuting the existence of the planet, considering that it is very likely that the planet does not exist. If it really exists, it would be a planet similar in size to Earth, but very hot due to its proximity to Toliman.

Updated NGTS-12 addon. Textures, image and addon description have been updated. ID: A64C5352-04ED-9308-E41D-DDF536BE2FFE

Description: NGTS-12b is a gas giant exoplanet discovered in 2020, orbiting the star NGTS-12 about 1456 light-years away from Earth. It is believed that the planet is nearing the end of its existence, as it will be swallowed by its parent star, which is entering a subgiant phase. Link to download: NGTS-12 update.zip Image:

Title: 40 Eridani Description: 40 Eridani is a binary star system consisting of a K-type main-sequence star and a white dwarf about 16.26 light-years away in the constellation of Eridanus, which is most famously portrayed in science fiction as the home system of the Vulcans in Star Trek. However, in 2018, a planet half the size of Neptune was discovered orbiting the primary star, which was initially disproven in 2021, but subsequent analyses reconfirmed the planet's existence just a year later Proposed Category: Exoplanets: TESS Era (2018-Present) Demo Object Name: 40 Eri A Author(s): trappistplanets Release date: 2022-03-12 Link to download: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12r6H4IsaPmOkxDCI8JB8I7EgvPOMQUVq/view?usp=drivesdk Image:

ID cannot be changed for existing add-ons. You have to delete (soft deletion where the old one is removed from categories but link works (not updated) or hard deletion where old link no longer works) the old add-on and create new ones with the required ID.

[DaveBowman2001]

I see. Will be careful on making ID Requirements for future addon submissions from now on

Fictional: Others

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.

@DaveBowman2001 what about the Ceti Alpha Addon? Also for the Star Wars addon if need be I can put together a quick STC file for a new star for the planets to orbit to avoid conflicts with RHO CrB's actual planets.

[DaveBowman2001]

@DaveBowman2001 what about the Ceti Alpha Addon?

Oh, crap I forgot about this one! Thanks!

Star Trek

Title: Ceti Alpha 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.

Seems fair enough. Until we have a proper Star Wars Galaxy to begin with I guess this works as well. Much easier to find than what another thought I had in mind, which is scatter them across random stars in the Milky Way

Would it be possible to convert any of the SpaceEngine Star Wars Galaxy addon for use in Celestia?

[SpaceExplorer2008]

@levinli303 When do you intend to upload these latest addons? I have a few more addons here to send.

[SpaceExplorer2008]

Title: Molniya 1 Description: Molniya 1 was a series of satellites launched by the Soviet Union, designed to for television, telegraph and telephone across Russia. They were also fitted with cameras used for weather monitoring, and possibly for assessing clear areas for Zenit spy satellites

NOTE: This addon only adds the first four Molniya 1 satellites that reached orbit. To see them, you must adjust the time on Celestia:

Molniya-1-01: 1965-Apr-23 ~ 1979-May-27

Molniya-1-02: 1965-Oct-14 ~ 1967-Mar-17

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

Updated on 6/20/2022 to change the star of the Addon to a fictional star named Jestr's Star (named after the original addon creator.)

Interesting, the SE code of the stars look almost similar to Celestia's STC code. This might be possible to convert with relative ease

EDIT: Oh wait, the stars are way outside Celestia's 10 million LY limit. SE's Star Wars Galaxy is about 383 million light-years away from the Milky Way

[SevenSpheres]

These Stargen addons add planets around several stars in multiple star systems, but they're often incorrectly defined as orbiting the system barycenter. For example, the planets around 70 Ophiuchi A are defined as orbiting "70 Oph" rather than "70 Oph A".

There are also some stars that are not in Celestia, referred to by a name that's not in Celestia, or referred to by the wrong name (e.g. "Mu Ari" for "Mu Ara"). I guess the last is probably fine, but the selected star is clearly not the intended one.

[PlutonianEmpire]

Yeah I should fix those and reupload.

[PlutonianEmpire]

Done, filepaths are the same. I added STC's for missing stars, and re-parent'ed some systems to their proper stars.

[levinli303]

@DaveBowman2001 in the new format, we don't have additional metadata anymore. an example of correct submission

A few places to notice:

1. Description (Legacy) is mandatory2.
2. the old "Additional metadata" should be added to the end of Description.
3. "Image" should also be inserted into Description, unless you intend to not show the image.

Title: Solar Maximum Mission ID Requirement: 1C Description (Legacy): The Solar Maximum Mission (SolarMax) is a solar observatory launched in February 1980 that prematurely malfunctioned in November of the same year.

Description: The Solar Maximum Mission (SolarMax) is a solar observatory launched in February 1980 that prematurely malfunctioned in November of the same year. Four years later, it became the first-ever satellite repaired in space during the STS-41-C (Challenger) mission in April 1984. Afterwards it continued to observe the Sun until an intense geomagnetic storm on March 1989 accelerated its orbital decay until it reentered the Earth's atmosphere on December 1989

NOTES:

• Requires the Space Shuttle addon to view its repair during STS-41-C. See the table provided on that addon on when to view this particular shuttle mission in Celestia
• SolarMax can only be viewed in Celestia between 1984-Feb-14 until 1989-Dec-2

I see. This clarifies things significantly! Thanks! Submission format on first post is updated

[DaveBowman2001]

Since the newer version is now successfully uploaded on mobi, I think it's time to remove the older duplicate of "67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko" from the site

@Peter592 please be careful about who you ping. Those users haven't posted anything here.

If you mean any planetary system with two stars, there are several, including this. If you mean specifically a version of our Solar System with two Suns, there's one here on the old Celestia Motherlode site which hasn't been submitted to celestia.mobi yet.

The Sun of the Solar System is Saturn 666000 Miles Jupiter 999000 Miles Sun 1212120 Miles. @levinli303

What do you mean by that?

And if it's not necessary, don't keep tagging other users.

Update to "Rosetta". Removed the addon's 67P content as it isn't needed anymore. Also reduced the amount of images to load

ID: 77DCDAB9-5C56-208C-ADAC-56F51AD6512F Description: Rosetta was an ESA space probe launched on 2004-Mar-2. Along with Philae, its lander module, Rosetta performed a detailed study of comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko until the latter crashed intentionally on the comet's nucleus on 2016-Sept-30. Philae performed the first successful landing of a comet's nucleus on 2014-Nov-12

Download the 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko addon first in order for this addon to work.

@Peter592 This should not be discussed here. Here is a place to do add-on submissions and updates. Here we should only discuss things related to add-ons. If this turns out to be spam, some moderator will end up banning you.

[SpaceExplorer2008]

@DaveBowman2001 Wouldn't it be better to continue to keep 67P and Rosetta in the same addon? Besides, 67P is the basis for the Rosetta addon to work, I think they work better together.

[DaveBowman2001]

@DaveBowman2001 Wouldn't it be better to continue to keep 67P and Rosetta in the same addon?

Their respective IDs are alphabetically arranged (77C and 77D) so Rosetta will work whenever 67P is installed. Also I'd like to populate the Comets section aside from having a 67P addon on its pristine (no visitor) condition if someone don't like to add Spacecrafts in their Celestia

EDIT: I am planning to do this on NEAR, Giotto, and Deep Impact as well in a few days

Okay then. Really the asteroids and comets categories they still have few addons. I intend to start today extracting asteroids and comets from Celestia Origin and making the submission here. In a few weeks I hope that both of these categories will have a lot more addons.

@Peter592 Dies soll hier nicht diskutiert werden. Hier ist ein Ort, um add-on-Veröffentlichungen und-updates. Hier sollten wir nur Dinge besprechen Bezug auf add-ons. Wenn diese stellt sich heraus zu sein, spam, manche moderator wird am Ende Verbot Sie.

Wäre es möglich, zu konvertieren jede von der SpaceEngine Star Wars Galaxy addon für den Einsatz in Celestia?

Interessant, der SE-code von die Sterne sehen fast ähnlich wie Celestia WTZ-code. Dies könnte möglich sein, zu konvertieren, mit relativer Leichtigkeit

EDIT: Oh wait, die Sterne sind draußen, Celestia ' s 10 million LY Grenze. SE-Star Wars-Galaxie ist rund 383 Millionen Lichtjahre entfernt von der Milchstraße

Title: 16 Psyche Description: 16 Psyche is a large M-type asteroid in the asteroid belt, discovered by Annibale de Gasparis on March 1852. Psyche has a diameter of 253 km. Psyche is believed to contain much more iron, nickel, platinum and gold than Earth, and that its total value would be 10 thousand quadrillion dollars. In 2023 or 2024, NASA will launch the Psyche spacecraft towards the asteroid, and it will enter its orbit in 2029 or 2030, to study it for 21 months.

Title: 2P/Encke Description: 2P/Encke is a periodic comet that orbits the Sun every 3.30 years, the second shortest orbital period comet (after 311P PanSTARRS with an orbital period of 3.24 years). The comet was first observed in 1786 by Pierre Méchain, but its orbit was only calculated in 1819 by Johann Franz Encke. Comet Encke is believed to be the originator of several meteor showers known as Taurids. Comet Encke was one of the targets of NASA's CONTOUR spacecraft launched in 2002, but communication with the spacecraft was lost and the mission failed.

Title: 3D/Biela Description: 3D/Biela was a periodic comet of the Jupiter family which had an orbital period of 6.62 years. Was first observed in 1772 by Montaigne and Messier, and identified as periodic in 1826 by Wilhelm von Biela. In 1852, the comet was observed to split into two parts. After that, parts of the comet's nucleus were never seen again. Therefore, Biela is considered a lost comet.

NOTE: For you to see the comet, you need to change the time on Celestia to any time before 1852-Sept-29

@DaveBowman2001 I thought of something here, tell me if it's a good idea:

toutatis created several martian orbiters with full xyzv trajectories. On the mobi. site, you modified the addons and left only the beginning of the orbiters' trajectory xyzv around Mars, with the rest being defined with ssc. But with the ssc orbit in certain orbiters some things are not simulated, for example the flybys of Phobos carried out by Mars Express and MAVEN.

With that, I'm thinking of uploading an alternative version for Mars Express and MAVEN with full xyzv trajectories in case someone wants to simulate their orbits with high precision and flybys of Phobos. I would also find it interesting to do this with the venusian orbiter Venus Express, since it performed aerobrakings in 2014. For martian orbiters like Mars Odyssey, Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter and ExoMars TGO it is not necessary, since after all they are in low orbits around Mars, not makes a lot of difference.

[SpaceExplorer2008]

And would it be possible for you to create an xyzv trajectory of Tianwen-1 around Mars? It's okay if it's a little inaccurate. Tianwen-1 is the only recent Martian orbiter not simulated around Mars.
