International Space Station (NASA-VTAD)

[DaveBowman2001]

New default ISS for Celestia, serving as replacement for Andrew Farnaby's ISS model that was recently removed by PR #202

Original model was created by NASA-VTAD on 22 April 2019: https://science.nasa.gov/resource/international-space-station-3d-model/

The README should be updated to attribute the source of the original model (and that you've edited it).

Needs .license files for assets and header comment in .ssc file

How do I create a .license file?

The README should be updated to attribute the source of the original model (and that you've edited it).

I think I already attributed the source of the original model (and indicated that I edited it) on a note I left on its ssc file:

# International Space Station
#
# This is a 3D representation of the ISS created by NASA-VTAD
# on April 22, 2019
#
# ORIGINAL LINK:
# https://science.nasa.gov/resource/international-space-station-3d-model/
#
# The configuration shown is what the ISS looked like from May
# 2011 until February 2015, shortly after STS-134 (Endeavour)
# delivered the AMS and ELC-3 pallets to the station.
#
# Model and textures were converted for use in Celestia by 
# DaveBowman2001
#
# Orbital elements used were retrieved from JPL HORIZONS using
# Epoch 2024-Nov-20 (JD 2460634.5), i.e. the station's 26th
# anniversary since launch
# https://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/horizons/app.html#/

You can either create them in a text editor or use the reuse tool https://github.com/fsfe/reuse-tool

I presume the ISS model I've used is either public domain or C.C. B.Y. 4.0 since its original authors (NASA-VTAD) were the same ones to the Cassini and Galileo models we now use by default

I think I already attributed the source of the original model (and indicated that I edited it) on a note I left on its ssc file:

Currently, the README attributes Farnaby's model:

CelestiaContent/README

Lines 272 to 279 in e80a8be

	# The 3D model of ISS is a deconstruction of Andrew Farnaby's
	complete ISS model with textures by Bob Hundley. The model
	represents the ISS as of June 2008 and is a modification of
	the model that can be found here:
	http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/catalog/show_addon_details.php?addon_id=1199
	ISS model of June 2008 (with Kibo) by krisci3 (modified and
	converted in order to work with JPG by Ulrich Dickmann, a.k.a.
	Adirondack)

I'd argue that makes attribution within the .ssc unnecessary (other than the orbital elements).

Currently, the README attributes Farnaby's model...

Just recently made changes to the ReadMe reflecting the change of the ISS to a NASA model on commit 9ef9279
