| 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).

File Description:
"KRONE-1" is Denmark's virtual 'airforce-one'. 3-D Model and original-FDE by Robert Versluys. Repaint and modified-FDE by JELAIR (a big thankyou to Robert Versluys for allowing repaints of this aircraft :) ). Panel and sound is set to the default Boeing747 (download any panel and sound-set (for a 4-engine jet) you like best. This model has no virtual-cockpit. This single download is all you need to make the aircraft work in FS. No extra files needed). ENJOY! :)

File Description:
First PLEASE NOTE: This file REPLACES the upload I had prior. I had my prior file removed and this file supersedes with better tail textures and changes to the readme!!!! That being said . . . . These are textures for the Great Lakes Aviation "Grand Tetons", "Fly Telluride" and "Dinosaur" themes. You must have the wonderful PMDG Express B1900D to use these textures. THESE TEXTURES ARE VERSION 2, and contain Higher Quality tails than my prior upload. This file supersedes my prior upload. If you uploaded the first file I put up for this set, please use these taxtures and REPLACE the ones you already installed!!!!! Tail art by Steve Tran. Many thanks to Steve and PMDG for making this project possible, as well as Mark for bringing up the idea in the PMDG forum area here on AVSIM.
