Two-body orbit from published elements
Magellan is placed by solving a Keplerian orbit around venus at the simulation time (a = 10,424 km, e = 0.39, period 0.1 d). Shown from 1990-08-10 until 1994-10-13.
Magellan mapped 98% of Venus's surface with imaging radar from orbit (1990–1994), seeing through the planet's thick clouds.
One record per aspect. The origin says what kind of thing each value is; the source says where it came from; the limit says what it cannot tell you.

Magellan: mass 1.035 × 10^3 kg. These values are bundled with the object record and drive the rendered size.
