Voyager Trajectory Elements for SE

First you will need the Voyager models from this pak (Thanks to Doctor of Space).
Download it and put it in the SpaceEngine\addons folder.
2nd put the VoyagerProbesPositions.pak in the SpaceEngine\addons folder.
Start SE and choose Voyager01 or Voyager02 from the Ctrl+F3 Spacecrafts\Other Menu. Press G to go to it and then press Ctrl+ \ to reset to current time. Enjoy the view:

Trajectory data were obtained from Nasa's Jet Propulsion Laboratory Hyperbolic Orbital Elements page. They are rather old but if anyone can find a more recent set, please be my guest and I'll be more than happy to update them :) .

You can get up to date data here https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons.cgi#results

Change Ephemerides to orbital elements, go to target body and select spacecraft and then Voyager1, Voyager2. 


Then you get an output like this:

Thanks delt4, !
Although the difference doesn't look significant from far away, it actually is: I superimposed both data in SE and Voyager 1 was separated from its old self by 12+ light minutes so more than 1 AU and Voyager 2 around 10+ light minutes again more than 1 AU :o.
I include the new data here. Place them in SpaceEngine\addons folder.
PS: I am not going to be updating the data because it hurts my eyes and I am generally not very careful so I leave them here as is. It is easy to update them however - it is just tedious :| ...

For some reason that last pak file doesn't work in 0.9.9.0.

I do have an updated probes pak with pbr effects though.

Huh? It worked fine for me back in ~ 30 july (or around that date). I have not checked again since then & after latest mini patches.

So this pak works or is it just the elements pak that has the issue?

the location for both Voyager probes is sitting just next to the sun, the pak doesnt matter.

If you have the line 'Type "ControllableGame"' in the .sss file, change it, for example to 'Type "StaticGame"'.
With me, all objects that have this line end up near the sun.

I am not using your updated PBR probes pack though - but I'd be interested to try it if you don't mind and would like to share it :)

Hello, I am a French teacher and we are currently working on the Voyager probes odyssey. Is there a way in Space Engine to go back in time and take the probe away? I would like to be able to follow the probe throughout its course and then show the animation to my students.

Not entirely sure if you can make the probe invisible by going back in time right now, maybe in a future update
