ROSETTA ESA's Rosetta mission to comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko. Includes Rosetta spacecraft and Philae lander, comet 67P, asteroids 2867 Steins and 21 Lutetia. Take a look at mission highlights in the scenarios or fly it yourself from launch at Kourou 2004 to landing on the comet in 2014.
New for V.3D: Corrected 67P spin axis and obliquity (now conform to latest science data). New scenario demonstrating VERY strange orbit of 67P created by fast spin + lumpy gravity.
New for V.3C: Updated with detailed/realistic mesh of Comet 67P from the Rosetta
team, Nov 2014. Rotational data for Comet 67/P also updated from Rosetta data.
Bases & scenarios for Philae's 67/P mission, including a scenario to replicate
Philae's "great hop" when it attempted to land on Comet 67/P.
Added rudimentary controls to Philae to allow manuevering/landing/take-offs from
Comet 67/P.
Added a more 'lumpy' gravitational map for comet 67/P - perhaps not 100%
authentic (yet) but it definitely has some unusual twists and turns. Updated
rotation & precession data from 67/P to be more authentic.
Requires Vinka's "spacecraft3.dll" and "multistage2.dll". Vinka's website isn't online any more but you can download the files here.
Launch scenario requires "Ari ane5" by Well&NoMatter and "Kourou-CSG" by Mustard&Papyref. You can find those add-ons by searching here at orbithangar.com.
Full installation notes in the README.txt
v.3 Tested on Orbiter 2006 Version 060929, XP, 1.6Ghz Pentium, nVidiaFX5600XT
v.3C updated for Orbiter 2010 version 100830, Vinka's Spacecraft3.dll, IMFD, Well & Nomatter's Ariane5, additional flight notes.
Huge thanks to Brian Jones, who developed the awesome Rosetta Ver 3 and allowed these few tweaks to be added to include the Comet 67/P mesh and improved technical elements to make Ver 3D.
