JPL catalog - Asteroids with name and known radius

Description
The addon adds/updates orbital elements for more than 16000 selected asteroids from the JPL database.
It contains all asteroids with assigned catalog number, a IAU name and known radius to date.
Latest updates add citations for names assigned since the end of 1979, available in Wiki descriptions (For English GUI users only at the moment, sorry).


Depending on your hardware, you could experience a decrease in FPS in some conditions.

I assume that when Chariklo data from this mod merge with the default catalog, some parameters like the color are changed. I will add Chariklo to the list of ignored objects.

@BlueStellar meaning that you have issues with the client, or it's starting to be a little heavy on your pc?

Thank you. As it's written in the description, the source of orbital elements is the Jet Propulsion Laboratory Small Body Database, updated regularly, so those are real orbits.
The Small Body Database contains orbital elements for nearly 1,350,000 asteroids, unfortunately SpaceEngine can't manage (yet?) such number of orbits.

thank you for letting me find ALL asteroids for see his orbit (probably having procedural orbits and not real ones :sob:)
