Vespucci C Deep Space Explorer

File Description:
A large futuristic deep space exploration craft capable of carrying docked excursion craft for planetary descent and landing. Based on OmegaSpace's original masterpiece, this ship was reworked using Radu Poenaru's system and panel software development kit (SPSDK) to provide the following new features:

-RCS thruster visuals and improvements to the main engine thrust visuals
-Four additional docking ports for excursion craft
-A customized panel featuring docking status indicators

This is the perfect ship for when you want to get somewhere very far away and do something interesting when you get there.

Mars Exploration Rover's - SimNASA version 1.2a

File Description:
Version 1.2a Mars Exploration Rovers spacecraft as used by SimNASA (http://www.simnasa.org). During the summer of 2003 NASA launched both MER-A "Spirit" and MER-B "Opportunity" to Mars. Likewise SimNASA, a virtual space agency, recreated these same missions according to its own timetabe, parameters, and simplified flight plans. This archive contains all configuration files to recreate the current NASA MER missions. UPDATED meshes and configurations. INCLUDES missing textures. Requires Vinka spacecraft.dll. Distrubution limited to individuals. Group use is prohibited.

U.S.S. Enterprise 1701-C

File Description:
The fourth ENTERPRISE, NCC-1701-C, was a Ambassador-class starship, that was built at the McKinley Earthstation. This ship, whose captain was Rachel Garett, was lost in 2344 while it tried to protect a klingon outpost on Narenda III of romulan agressors. The heroism of captain Baretts crew was an important step in the direction of the alliance between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Now is your chance to fly her in Orbiter.

U.S.S. Enterprise 2702-D

File Description:
The U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701-D was a Galaxy-class extended-duration starship and the flagship of Starfleet. The fifth starship to be named Enterprise, she was commanded by Captain Jean-Luc Picard. With a total of 42 decks, the U.S.S. Enterprise-D was twice the length and had eight times the interior space of the Constitution-class ships of over a century earlier; she carried a combined crew and passenger load of about 1,012. Defensive systems included 10 phaser banks, 250 photon torpedoes, and a high capacity shield grid; there are some 4,000 power systems in all aboard ship. Full acceleration time from reverse, sub-light impulse through nominal top warp speed, warp 9, was 0.03 milliseconds. The ship achieved maximum speed of warp 9.5 maximum when pursued by the entity known as "Q"; at warp 9.3 its engines had passed the red line. By stardate 43205, she had already logged tens of thousands of light-years since setting out around stardate 41153.7 after Jean-Luc Picard formally became her first captain on stardate 41124. An average day aboard ship, according to Lieutenant Commander Data, included four birthdays, two personnel transfers, two chess tournaments, a secondary school play, four promotions, the celebration of the Hindu Festival of Lights — and a birth and wedding. Some 13 planets were represented among the ship's complement as of stardate 44247. During the Borg incursion of 2366, Decks 23-25 were sliced open by the enemy during the final battle over Earth and requiring a refit at Earth Station McKinley which lasted 5-6 weeks. It was far less damage than the kamikaze warp-driven collision Commander Riker had readied as one last recourse, however. During that refit, the starship received a phaser upgrade as well as damage repair and a dilithium chamber articulation frame. It off-loaded the original three Runabouts and the first arriving officers at Deep Space Nine. The U.S.S. Enterprise-D was destroyed in 2371 after an attack by renegade Klingons breached her warp core. Although the saucer section separated before the breach, the force of the explosion caused the section to crash on the planet Veridian III. Fortunately, losses were minimal.

2001 Revisited: To the Moon in 24 Hours (TTM24)

File Description:
Beta Release 4. This version includes a panel and severla fixes. This add-on is based on Dr. Stanley K. Borowski's paper titled "2001: A Space Odyssey Revisited" and my interpretation of paintings by NASA artist Pat Rawlings. Dr. Borowski proposes that the development of two key technologies -- liquid oxygen (LOX)-augmented nuclear thermal rocket (NTR) propulsion and lunar oxygen mining -- could form the basis of a lunar transportation system capable of providing weekly 24-hour flights to the Moon.

TX Winged Space Launcher

File Description:
TX (Tug eXperimental) - the experimental hypersonic airspace vehicle. TX is the universal orbital launcher which can lift into a low circular orbit any payloads in weight up to 40-50 tons. TX also can serve as the first stage for heavier payloads having own engines. Payload configuration is provided through a scenario file. Features: some animation of the visual model, combined hydrogen engines, accurate model of an atmospheric phase of flight, no instrumental panel (may be released in next version). Detailed documentation. This package also includes "SRC Space Port" - space port for basing TX vehicle (SRC - "Space Research Center"). Installation is very easy and fully described in readme file.
