Tarvos (Saturn XXI, S/2000 S 4) is one of the outer prograde irregular moons of Saturn. It was discovered by John J. Kavelaars et al in 2000. It is named for a bull god in Celtic mythology.

Tarvos in Orbiter[edit]

Tarvos was first introduced into Orbiter with the add-on saturn_iv.zip in February 2003. Note that Tarvos is provided by the add-on as S/2000-S4. To simulate it as Tarvos, the following changes need to be made.

  • File:S2000_S4.cfg:
    • change the filename to Tarvos.cfg
    • change the name in the comment line in the top line to Tarvos (S/2000-S4, Saturn)
    • line 3, change NAME = to Tarvos
    • Last line, change the name of Base1 = to Tarvos
  • File:S4-Station.cfg
    • change the filename to Tarvos-station.cfg
    • Line 3, change the name to Tarvos-Station
  • File:Saturn_S2000S4.scn
    • change the filename to Saturn_Tarvos.scn
    • Line 2, change S12 Station to Tarvos Station
    • Find the GL-01 ship, change STATUS Landed S2000-S4 to Landed Tarvos
    • Change BASE S4-Station:1 to Tarvos-Station:1
  • File:S2000-S4.tex, change filename to Tarvos.tex
  • File:S2000-S4M.BMP, change filename to TarvosM.BMP
