Hi Derk,
glad you like it I remember you mentioned that you were quite interested in some of the earlier planetary missions. Watch out if you use the Titan-III launch autopilot - it needs a helping hand sometimes. BTW, I'm still working on my FalconHeavy project, which would be dead in the water without your expert hard-disk-rescue skills, so thanks again :thumbup:

As usual an absolutely beautiful addon Brian, thanks a bunch!!

Works great and works beautifully, and nice touch with the "LOS" of the probe, too!

Super Job

So it was a payload designed for those "Shuttle/Centaur-G'" missions ? The guys from SSU might be interested

Actually, Mars Observer was always going to use the TOS (not available in SSU). Cassini is one that initially was going to be launched by the Shuttle/Centaur.
BTW, both Centaur versions and the IUS will be available in SSU 4.0, which is due to come out sometime before the end of the universe.
