| Explorer 1 Add-on for Orbiter |
|
File Description:
Explorer 1 was the first satellite launched by the United States when it was sent into space on January 31, 1958. Following the launch of the Soviet Union's Sputnik 1 on October 4, 1957, the U.S. Army Ballistic Missile Agency was directed to launch a satellite using its Jupiter C rocket developed under the direction of Dr. Wernher von Braun. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory received the assignment to design, build and operate the artificial satellite that would serve as the rocket's payload. JPL completed this job in less than three months.
The primary science instrument on Explorer 1 was a cosmic ray detector designed to measure the radiation environment in Earth orbit. Once in space this experiment, provided by Dr. James Van Allen of the State University of Iowa, revealed a much lower cosmic ray count than expected. Van Allen theorized that the instrument may have been saturated by very strong radiation from a belt of charged particles trapped in space by Earth's magnetic field. The existence of these radiation belts was confirmed by another U.S. satellite launched two months later, and they became known as the Van Allen Belts in honor of their discoverer.
Explorer 1 revolved around Earth in a looping orbit that took it as close as 354 kilometers (220 miles) to Earth and as far as 2,515 kilometers (1,563 miles). It made one orbit every 114.8 minutes, or a total of 12.54 orbits per day. The satellite itself was 203 centimeters (80 inches) long and 15.9 centimeters (6.25 inches) in diameter. Explorer 1 made its final transmission on May 23, 1958. It entered Earth's atmosphere and burned up on March 31, 1970, after more than 58,000 orbits. The satellite weighed 14 kilograms (30.8 pounds).

| Fokker F27 Friendship (Mk500) for AI |

File Description:
Fokker F27 Friendship (Mk500) for AI
The Dutch government provided funding to assist with constructing the Fokker F27, which first first flew in 1955, and Fairchild were licenced to build the Friendship in the United States in 1958. The Mk500 could carry 52 passengers.
This model is designed specifically to enhance the AI aircraft population . It is basically too heavy (at 45000lbs all up) to use with the marvellous GA-Traffic programme by Marcus Brunner, but I am using it happily with my general AI traffic on normal routes. I had found that the numerous F27s that have been built were very frame-rate heavy, and as this aircraft has sentimental meaning to me from childhood days, I decided to make a frame-rate friendly version.
It is also quite fun to fly as a normal aircraft so I have left a link to a testing panel (Baron 58), but I would suggest you substitute a more suitable replacement.
This model incorporates animated rudder, elevator, flaps and ailerons and landing gear.The main model contains only 1671 polygons with a single texture file to ensure the absolute minimum impact on your framerates. It also has night lighting.
There are three other models incorporated to give a total of 4 LOD models.
There are three textures included (Air New Zealand, Fed Ex and Uniair), plus a paintkit, in this zip file.
Designed with FSDS v2.24
