Update to the "Surveyor 1 to 7" addon, in preparation for the upcoming Project Apollo addon in the coming months
ID: 87F11016-16D9-0411-9149-6EA69F8CDF88 Description (Legacy): The NASA Surveyor program is a series of seven lunar landers intended to study the surface of the Moon up close from 1966 to 1968. Their findings would later prove to be critical to the eventual success of the Apollo program of landing a man on the moon before the decade of the 60s is out. Five landers successfully touched down and relayed data back to Earth, of which one of them (Surveyor 3), is the only spacecraft ever visited by humans (Apollo 12) on an extraterrestrial surface to this day.

Title: Long Duration Exposure Facility ID Requirement: A Description (Legacy): NASA's Long Duration Exposure Facility (LDEF), was a school bus-sized cylindrical facility designed to provide long-term experimental data on the outer space environment and its effects on space systems, materials, operations and selected spores' survival. It was placed in low Earth orbit by Space Shuttle Challenger in April 1984. The original plan called for the LDEF to be retrieved in March 1985, but after a series of delays it was eventually returned to Earth by Columbia in January 1990
NOTE: Requires the Space Shuttle and SolarMax addons installed for this addon to work

Updated (2 Pallas) https://celestia.mobi/resources/item?item=0483CF05-AE7D-BC53-74E4-F4A0E38FD09D Updated description. ID: 0483CF05-AE7D-BC53-74E4-F4A0E38FD09D
Description: 2 Pallas is a large B-type asteroid. It was discovered by Heinrich Wilhelm Matthias Olbers in March 1802. It is the third largest asteroid in the Solar System, and constitutes 7% of the total mass of the asteroid belt. It is about 515 km in diameter and is a remnant of a protoplanet in a highly inclined orbit in the asteroid belt. In 2016, it was proposed to send the Dawn spacecraft to perform a flyby of Pallas, but this proposal was rejected in favor of continuing the observations of Ceres.
NOTE: This addon updates and modifies the existing version of asteroid Pallas in Celestia.
Updated (Starlink) https://celestia.mobi/resources/item?item=0F2427F6-5205-7625-6937-1EB37A21FE26 ID: 0F2427F6-5205-7625-6937-1EB37A21FE26
Description: Starlink is a mega constellation of Elon Musk's satellites, with the aim of bringing high-speed internet to anywhere in the world. To date, more than 2,000 satellites of this constellation have been launched, with at least a total of 12,000 satellites planned, with the possibility of later expanding to a total of 42,000 satellites.
Last Updated: July 7, 2022. Added launches 46, 47, 48, 49 and 50.

Update to NGC 3132:
Title: NGC 3132 (Southern Ring Nebula)
Description (Legacy): NGC 3132 (also known as the Southern Ring Nebula, Eight-Burst Nebula, or Caldwell 74) is a bright and extensively studied planetary nebula, with a binary central star, in the constellation Vela. Its distance from Earth is estimated at about 2,500 light-years. This nebula was one of the first targets for imaging by the James Webb Space Telescope in 2022, although since the original version of this addon was made well before that, the model is based on Hubble imagery.

Title: 47 Ursae Majoris
Description (Legacy): 47 UMa, also known as Chalawan, is a Sun-like star about 45 light-years away in the constellation Ursa Major. It became one of the first planetary systems ever discovered in 1996, where (as of 2010) three super-Jovians were found orbiting this star. In 2015, two of these planets were given formal names by the IAU, Taphao Thong (b) and Taphao Kaew (c)

Proposal to move "NN Serpentis" onto the Hypothetical & Disproven category, as it has been removed from the July 2022 update of the TTEC
ID: E5DAEDF5-90D1-BD13-2AF4-AA086CC4B4C4 Description (Legacy): NN Serpentis is an eclipsing binary star system comprising of a red dwarf and a white dwarf about 1,702 light-years away in the constellation Serpens Caput. Two super-Jovian planets are found orbiting both stars in the system, however in 2022, subsequent analyses of the system dispute the existence of both planets, thus potentially disproving them Proposed category: Hypothetical & Disproven Last update: 2022-Jul-14 Link to download: NN Serpentis.zip

It's not in the template, but okay, I've added it to my post.
In 2014, two of these planets were given formal names by the IAU, Taphao Thong (b) and Taphao Kaew (c)
That was in 2015
It's not in the template, but okay, I've added it to my post.

Yeah I see it now, GitHub wasn't showing your edit before for some reason
Title: Van Allen Probes Description (Legacy): The Van Allen Probes (VAP), formerly known as the Radiation Belt Storm Probes (RBSP), were two NASA robotic spacecraft that were used to study the Van Allen radiation belts that surround Earth. Understanding the radiation belt environment and its variability has practical applications in the areas of spacecraft operations, spacecraft system design, mission planning and astronaut safety. The probes were launched on a single Atlas V rocket on 2012-Aug-30 and operated for seven years. Both spacecraft were deactivated in 2019 when they ran out of fuel and are are expected to deorbit sometime in the 2030s.

Aktualisiert so jetzt ist der Stern tatsächlich funktioniert, nachdem ich ersetzte die ursprüngliche STC mit einem neuen AGB.
Still does not work. Nice greetings from Germany
The .STC file in the link addon zip folder is the same one I put here and it does work on mobile Celestia.
And I went and tested the files from the Zip archive it self, everything works.

I think I need to point it out again, you ought to include "Image" in Description in most cases. (not necessary if you only have Description (Legacy)) otherwise, the image will not appear in the add-on page.
@DaveBowman2001 include "Image" in Description @Anthony-B-Russo10 always provide "Description (Legacy)" as it is mandatory and include "Image" in Description @SpaceExplorer2008 there is no more "Additional metadata", adopt the new format
I have only uploaded SevenSpheres' add-on in this issue, please fix the issues in your add-ons and I will upload them.
"Last Update" is a new field, you can include this field now, but it is not shown anywhere (for now).
