Vessel Chang'e 4 Lander, Rover, Queqiao and Longjiang 1 and 2 Lunar probes

Jeremyxxx · Dec 8, 2018

With tomorrow's launch of the Chang'e 4 Lunar lander and rover, I think it's time that we do an addon for the Chang'e 4 probes, including the Queqiao L2 Point satellite and Longjiang 1 and 2 Lunar orbiters.

---------- Post added 12-08-18 at 03:11 AM ---------- Previous post was 12-07-18 at 03:49 AM ----------

There are a few things that are needed to be done for the Chang'e addon project:

1. The Long March 3B Rocket (Multistage2015)

2. animation for Chang'e 4 lander, rover, Queqiao and the Twin Longjiang lunar orbiters.

3. The launch complex

4. LunarTransferMFD and LolaMFD usage

Jeremyxxx · Dec 10, 2018

Quick update to this project: It has not been in development yet, but will be soon!

However, there are no other addons for the Orbiter simulator that are based on the spacecraft and vehicles of the Chinese National Space Administration. (the other spacecraft in the Chang'e program are needed to be done as well, including Chang'e 3/Yutu and the Chang'e 5 Test mission.)

Jeremyxxx · Dec 18, 2018

UPDATE: Chang'e 4 is landing on the Lunar South Pole on January 3rd, which means the addon needs to be in development before the event.

Are you doing it?

I would just a rover already made and modify it to match the Chinese one.

Donamy · Dec 18, 2018

This has the launch rocket.

Jeremyxxx · Dec 18, 2018

IDK if Velcro Rockets would work for Orbiter 2016, as the rocket would have to be made into a Multistage2015 version

gattispilot · Dec 18, 2018

Well it wouldn't be too hard to make it into a ms2015. But then sharing it might be.

Donamy · Dec 18, 2018

Go ahead if you want to John.

gattispilot · Dec 18, 2018

Thanks. I might try. But isn't the rocket he wants the Long MArch 3b

Donamy · Dec 19, 2018

Which one launched the Tiangong ?

gattispilot · Dec 19, 2018

Long march 2f/g. Not sure the difference

Donamy · Dec 19, 2018

I see, the 3B has a third stage.

Meshwizard is not converting the Core and 2nd stage so I can see what needs to be done

emin2004 · Dec 19, 2018

answer for launch rocket

the launch vehicle that was used is Long March 3B

Yes. We have the 2f/E. Will see if I can make the 3b.

That will get a launch vessel.

Someone may need to make a guidance file

I got a basic model but no textures. If someone wants to help texture it. That would be great

So I built the meshes and textured them. Made an cfg but get a ctd.

So I got it built. BUT the Manned China Space program needs to be updated for 2016 or need a launch pad.

So not sure how to change the name of the Vessel from Sls to LM3B

But what should we do. This is the JSLC pad. As you can see it is in the ground.

JSLC works in 2016.
Here I'm using my updated base for Orbiter 2010 with the addon's base, so it's a bit messy.
You'll need to lower the meshes and/or add a no shadow flag.

gattispilot · Dec 21, 2018

Can you send it to me?

Not sure what the guidance file might look like?

4throck · Dec 21, 2018

I made no major changes, the Chinese Program is already Multistage based.
So just use this:

You may be able to derive some orbital information from here:
