I'm a not a constant reader of the board, but I'm visiting from time to time. Because of the existance of this forum (Voyager/Pioneer) I just wanted to let you know the release of a 3D model of Voyager within the Celestia community, model which cost me quite a hard work because of the few documents available on the net. This model is adapted for a 3D real time use, this mean it's not highly detailled (must run on medium config), but still a nice model. After a quick search I saw that many of you already know Celestia but for those who don't, just a few words; Celestia is a real time 3D visualisation soft. It's purpose is to give people a tool to visualise space in an interactive way, from spacecrafts to DSO. The soft is Opensource and multi platform (Linux, osX, Windows), based on professional catalogues and in constant dev. It is used by many people for educational purpose but also by the big space agency (Nasa/ESA). More info on Celestia home page: http://shatters.net/celestia/index.html Forum: http://shatters.net/forum/index.php Now back to the model: The trip of this ship was really incredible... a few shots within Celestia: (Click to enlarge) Here a link to download the model: http://www.celestialmatters.org/cm/hosts/h...u/voyager.shtml Hope you will enjoy it! Comments are welcome. Bye.

Just out of curiosity, was the magnetometer boom really twisted like that? It almost looks helical in these pics... -------------------- A few will take this knowledge and use this power of a dream realized as a force for change, an impetus for further discovery to make less ancient dreams real.

I've tried to show how was (is) the craft with the higher fidelity possible relative to some exigence for the real time rendering and not much documents as reference...
