'''CVE-lite''' (abridged Common Vessel Extensions) is a programming library to aid developers of add-on vessels for Orbiter. It extends the native Orbiter [[VESSEL]] class with additional functionality for multiple payloads, enhanced mesh handling or scenario-file based multistage support. It evolved from Dave Rowbotham's CVE library, cutting down on some of the internal complexity to allow for easier maintenance, and adding some new functionality.

This [[add-on]] simulates three modern '''Ariane 5''' variants. The A5 G (Generic), the A5 ECA (enhanced with cryogenic second stage), and the hybrid A5 ATV (model that will be used to launch the European [[ATV]] ISS resupply craft). Using Thomas Ruth's beautiful free meshes and the [[CVEL|CVE-lite]] programming library, the Ariane 5 is the flagship of the [[CCCP Fleet|CCCP team's]] CVEL vessel fleet.

The default [[Dragonfly]] is a great craft for manipulating space station elements in a futuristic building environment. It has only one problem: it's too large to launch!

==== History ====
 
 
''Dealer McDope'' created a series of Soviet-era meshes between 2002 and 2004 included in these was a basic, green, Luna E3 mesh. The Luna E3 was the first probe to photograph the far side of The Moon, launched atop an R7 booster.
 
 
When the [[CCCP Fleet|CCCP Team]], coordinating on [[IRC|OrbiterIRC]], set about writing C++ code for McDope's meshes the generic test object of choice became the Luna E3. Sticking to the naming convention McDope adopted of simply calling it ''Probe'', an in-joke cropped up by which whenever a developer conducted a flight test, cries of ''Hail Probe!'' would abound.
 
 
This in-joke gained popularity when a post to the old M6 off-topic forums introduced the concept of ''Hailing Probe'' to a wider audience with a thread titled ''The Cult of the Probe''. So ensued the second longest-running thread in the old Forum's history. Without a single flame.
 
 
The Probe has been hailed a great number of times afterwards; one notable example is during the Winter holidays in the end of 2008 (http://orbiter-forum.com/showthread.php?t=5947).
 
 
Such was the following of the thread that it spanned two years and even spawned '''Probe Day''' (4th October -- the date of both Luna E3's launch, and two years earlier, that of Sputnik 1, the first artificial satellite).
 
 
Unfortunately, with the migration of the Orbiter forums to a new system in February 2006, the thread was not ported.
 
 
Regardless, it is the obligation of orbitnauts across the world to hail the omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent probe.  Hail probe!
 
 
===New Information as of 04/02/2007===
 
A long time Orbiter fan and forum lurker has archived the thread in a .mht file and now needs to figure out how to restart the thread.
 
 
===== New Information as of 01/25/2014 =====
 
An acolyte of the Almighty Probe has discovered the possible birth of the Probox movement, along with several lost details, in an archived page of the original M6 forums.
