- line 3, change NAME = to Aitne
- Last line, change the name of Base1 = to Aitne
- File:S2000J11-Station.cfg
- change the filename to Aitne-station.cfg
- Line 3, change the name to Aitne-Station
- File:Jupiter_S2001J11.scn
- change the filename to Jupiter-Aitne.scn
- Line 2, change S2000J11 Station to Aitne Station
