I'd like to check JPL HORIZONS for the state vectors of JUICE during those events

Just a little nitpick....seems like the fairing is larger than the actual hardware itself. It is only as wide as its base rocket I think @jacquesmomo has the right size for Ariane 5's fairings already on his Kourou-CSG addon that we could probably use for JUICE

Five of them are left still living (Aldrin, Haise, Scott, Duke and Schmitt)

12 years on the lunar surface

I wonder if the paper model version of its Ariane 5 by AXM would be a lot of help in this situation.

It was launched from an Ariane 5 in April 2023

I agree. The Z-axis should be pointed where the main engine is oriented

Fred definitely did adapt MS2015 to Orbiter2010 first, then when Orbiter2016 came out a year later, he made it also compatible with that version as well

Here is the link on every single specs published by the European Space Agency: https://www.esa.int/Science_Exploration/Space_Science/Juice/Juice_spacecraft_specs There's even an animation video demonstrating how it deploys itself after being jettisoned from the Ariane 5

I'd like to request for an add-on of the Jupiter Icy Moons Explorer (JUICE), which was launched from the penultimate Ariane 5 flight in April 2023, now on its way to Jupiter alongside Europa Clipper, both expected to arrive by 2031 and 2030 respectively.

No longer MS2015...welcome, Multistage2025

Would love if the trench depressions on each launch pads, especially the Soyuz and Energia pads are dug out like those from jacquesmomo's Kourou add-on

@MaxBuzz here comes Baikonur finally!

I wonder if the shuttle middeck is possible to include here

Looks like it is not rigid at all...kinda like the sunshield of the JWST

I have created a simple SCN file depicting NGRST arrived at the Sun-Earth Lagrange (L2) point...which I retrieved and converted directly from JPL-HORIZONS

Huh, neat...I didn't know it was more like a fabric mesh than a solid cap like the Hubble cover

Quick question: Shouldn't the main mirror be covered during launch, or there's no mechanism for it? I think the "hat" part on the telescope is its mirror cover that is only opened after the telescope reaches Sun-Earth L2. Kinda similar to how Hubble was deployed from the Shuttle in 1990

I've tried to run the prelaunch trajectory myself a few days ago...what I don't understand is why are there so many "jagged" maneuvers in the data (errors)....it only started to look like an actual trajectory by the time it reaches Sun-Earth L2 for some reason

Most likely it will have its official logo painted on the painting. However, we would not know it likely for another year until it finally releases. For now, a generic fairing will do
