Ulysses Solar Polar Probe 71KB

The Full Ulysses Model shows Ulysses with Magnetometer and axial booms extended. (~80m wide)
The main body Ulysses model only shows the spacecraft bus itself. (Main part of the craft anyway)
The Ulysses + IUS model shows Ulysses as it would have looked when being deployed by the Shuttle Discovery in 1990

Nozomi (Planet-B) 234KB

Like Ulysses, Nozomi (Planet-B) has four magnetometer booms extending from each side of the spacecraft. To see these in your model, download the Full Nozomi model.
If you only want to see the main spacecraft bus, and the two thicker booms, download the Main body Nozomi model.

NEAR Eros Landing Site 1KB

I also reccomend using the highly detailed version of the Eros model, it looks much better when you're close to the surface- you can download it from Selden's Resources for Celestia site. Also, ensure you have version 1.3.0 or newer of Celestia installed.

If you want to see Magellan as it would have looked while being deployed by the Shuttle Atlantis in 1989, download the Magellan + IUS model.

Galileo HIGH DETAIL Trajectory 4.83MB
Ignore what it says in the readme (for now) and just rename the file in the data folder to "galileo.xyz", replacing the original. You still need to do everything it says in the Galileo ssc patch file.

The "Galileo + IUS" model shows how Galileo would have looked while being deployed by the Shuttle Atlantis in 1989.
The "Galileo + Probe + HGA closed" model shows Galileo between Shuttle deployment & HGA partial opening, on the 11^th April 1991.
The "Galileo + Probe" model is an update to the existing galileo model, to show how it would have looked between launch & probe deployment in 1995.
The "Galileo ssc patch" is a segment you have to add to solarsys.ssc, to be able to see the Galileo models change throughout the mission.

Vega 1 2KB

Model zip has 2 different models, and the xyz ssc reflects this also. Model 1 is of Vega with Venus lander attached, and Model 2 is of Vega after the probe release. The model changes ~2 days before closest approach to Venus, when the probe deployed.

Horizons hasn't got the updated Cassini trajectory yet (taking account of the new Huygens release date) so until they have that I won't put up an xyz trajectory for Cassini.
