UPDATE 2015/07/18

Ceres is now out! It's made from pictures taken by the Dawn probe.

UPDATE 0.2.1 2015/07/18 #2

Solved timewarp bug

- Planets other than the SOI you are in are still getting out of their orbits when timewarping at low altitudes (100 000m). It is solved as soon as the spacecraft goes above 100 000m.

UPDATE 0.2.2 2015/07/19

Ceres and Vesta orbital characteristics now match their real world counterparts

UPDATE 0.3.0 2015/07/20

Added Ida, a small asteroid with an even smaller moon (not yet implemented)

UPDATE 0.4.0 2015/07/23

Added Ida's moon Dactyl. Escape velocity is 0.9m/s....Yes your read right. Diameter of 1.4km.

Added (2) Pallas, the second largest asteroid in the solar system. It has a proper inclination of 33 degrees. Such an inclination made impossible for Dawn to make a flyby of this asteroid.

Added Pan, the second closest moon of Saturn. It orbits inside Saturn's ring. (I had to cheat for this one. I changed a little bit its semi major axis so it orbits where it should)

UPDATE 0.4.1 2015/07/26

- Changed Saturn's texture

- Changed saturn's ring diameter to be more realistic

- Changed Pan semi-major axis to a more realistic value.

- Updated the orbital elements of all asteroids with more accurate values

- Added RVE compatibility

UPDATE 0.5.0 2015/07/29

- Added Juno (3rd discovered asteroid), Adrastea (Jupiter's moon) and Daphnis (Saturn's moon)

- Updated heightmaps so bodies surface are not pixelated anymore.

UPDATE 0.5.1 2015/07/29

- Changed Pluto's texture

UPDATE 0.5.2 2015/07/30
