Announcing a better method for sending comets that I do, it will now be a catalog divided into parts. For example, 2P Encke to 8P Tuttle. It will not include comets visited by spacecraft, obviously, such as 9P/Tempel and 19P/Borrelly. It will no longer be necessary to install one comet at a time as before.

Description: This addon adds 4 space debris objects. The Centaurs that propelled Juno and Lucy to heliocentric orbit, the Kepler Booster and the object 6Q0B44E.
NOTES:
The model used for the Kepler Booster is that of the Centaur, but it does not correspond to the actual stage that propelled it into a heliocentric orbit. No one has (yet) modeled the true stage that was used in the Kepler mission.
The model "X" used for the 6Q0B44E object is generic, as no one knows for sure what this object is really about.

Originally planned to last for only six months, it continues to send scientific data from Mars for eight years until it lost contact with Earth on 2022-Sept-27 Last updated: 2022-Oct-2 Link to download: Mangalyaan-1.zip
Title: K2-56 Description (Plain Text): K2-56, also known as BD+20 594, is a Sun-like star about 588.34 light-years away in the constellation Taurus. A massive planet about 16 times the mass and 2.2 time the radius of Earth was discovered. Its unusual characteristics classify the planet as a rare type of superterrans called "mega-Earth" rather than being a neptunian Proposed category: Exoplanets: K Demo Object Name: K2-56 Author(s): SpaceStalker Release date: 2022-Aug-6 Link to download: K2-56.zip Image:
Title: Kepler-16 Description (Plain Text): Kepler-16, also known as KOI-1611, is a binary star system consisting of a K-type main sequence star and a red dwarf about 245.43 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. Both stars are orbited by a Saturn-sized planet within their (optimistic) habitable zone. It is the first circumbinary exoplanet that the Kepler Space Telescope has discovered, which was later dubbed as "Tatooine" in various popular science articles in 2011
NOTE: A fictional Earth-like moon around Kepler-16 b is included to visualize the planet's location in the system's optimistic habitable zone

Title: Kepler-21 Description (Plain Text): Kepler-21, also known as KOI-975, is a binary star system consisting of an F-type subgiant star and a red dwarf about 355 light-years away in the constellation Lyra.

This is the third planetary system ever discovered by the Planet Hunters project, and their first (and so far only) system with multiple planets known Proposed category: Exoplanets: K Demo Object Name: Kepler-289 Author(s): Gurren Lagann Release date: 2022-Aug-14 Link to download: Kepler-289.zip Image:
Title: Kepler-440 Description (Plain Text): Kepler-440, also known as KOI-4087, is a K-type main sequence star about 990.39 light-years away in the constellation Lyra. In 2015, a single superterran planet was discovered, which is currently listed as an (optimistic) potentially habitable world as of 2021.

Title: Kepler-443 Description (Plain Text): Kepler-443, also known as KOI-4745, is a K-type main sequence star about 2,677 light-years away in the constellation Cygnus. It has a planet about 2.33 times the size of Earth that orbits within the star's habitable zone. Although nowadays thought to be more similar in composition to Neptune than Earth, it is still listed as a potentially habitable planet (as of 2021)
NOTE: This addon depicts Kepler-443 b as an Earth-like planet only
