Today a tip for all committing friends of real astronautics,
who wants to render some own scenes, with real (actual and/or historic)
spacecrafts.

The free OpenSource space-simulationprogramm "Celestia" contains
a lot of .3ds-models of real spacecrafts (i.e. Apollo, Skylab, Hubble, Mir,
ISS) and real planets/moons, asteroids etc.  in an excellent quality
(more models can be found on the  "Celestia"-Homepage at:
http://www.celestiamotherlode.net/ ). This models can be easy converted
into POV and make the creation of your own  space-scenes with real
spacecrafts much more easier.


And here for example, is the converted "cassini" spacecraft.
