DESCRIPTION

A large low-Earth-orbit space telescope (2.4 m mirror class) modelled at real scale, with a complete launch-to-orbit deployment animation and a fully modelled interior for cutaways. Generic design after classic serviceable space telescopes — no real brands, logos or mission names.

Exterior

  • 3.1 m optical tube and light shield covered with 96 individual MLI blanket panels (silver and white beta cloth), fastener buttons, stiffening rings with bolt rows and astronaut handrails on stand-offs
  • Hinged aperture door with stiffening ribs, black inner face and hinge mechanism; magnetometers, sun sensors and low-gain antennas on the front end
  • Octagonal equipment section with eight framed bay doors (four OSR radiators), hinge knuckles, latches and handles
  • 4.0 m aft shroud with four curved instrument service doors, stringers, belt ring, foot-restraint sockets, vents, grapple fixtures and star trackers with stepped sunshades
  • Aft bulkhead with gold blankets and ribs, launcher interface / docking ring with guide petals, latches and umbilicals
  • Two rigid solar wings (2 panels each, 19.2 m span, modelled 80 × 40 mm cell field) on hinged booms with sun-tracking drives, hinges, snubbers and harness
  • Two 1.0 m high-gain antennas on 3 m truss booms with gimbals, launch restraints on the tube

Interior (for cutaways and educational use)

  • 2.4 m primary mirror with back ribs and main ring, secondary mirror assembly on a four-vane spider
  • Light-shield baffles, central baffle and black inner liner
  • Four instrument drawers that slide out for servicing, three fine guidance sensors, focal plane
  • Reaction wheels, batteries and avionics inside the equipment bays

All markings, serial numbers and logos are fictional. No real brands.

Geometry
No N-gons
N-gons are polygons with five or more sides which might cause issues in certain processes like rendering or animation. Learn more
No faceted geometry
Faceted geometry uses flat surfaces without smoothing, which can look unrealistic on curves.
Learn more
Manifold geometry
Manifold geometry ensures all surfaces are properly connected, avoiding issues like edges shared by more than two faces.

Textures & material
PBR textures
PBR textures simulate how light interacts with materials, making the model look realistic under different lighting.
Required PBR textures:
- Base Color
- Roughness
- Metalness
- Normal
Learn more
No embed textures
Embedded textures are stored inside the model file, increasing its size and sometimes causing compatibility issues.
Learn more
Square textures
Texture aspect ratio is the width-to-height ratio of a texture. Expected texture aspect ratio: 1:1
Learn more
Power of 2 texture sizes
Textures with dimensions in power of two (e.g. 512x512px, 1024x1024px) are used to optimize performance and memory usage.
Learn more
Assigned materials
Materials are applied to the 3D model to allow visualize a model's surface properties and appearance.
Learn more
UVs & naming
No UV overlaps
UVs overlap when multiple points on the 3D model's surface are mapped to the same point on the UV island causing texture stretching.
Learn more
UV unwrapped model
A UV unwrapped model means its 3D surface is flattened into 2D space, allowing textures to be applied accurately.

Provided by designer
Information and details shared directly by the model's designer.
3D Features
The model includes animations (movement or actions) that can be played in supported software or engines.
The model has a skeleton or bone structure, making it ready for posing or animation.
PBR
Uses Physically Based Rendering materials, which give the model realistic lighting and surface properties.
Textures
The model includes image files (textures) that add color, patterns, or detail to its surfaces.
Materials
The model has material settings that define how surfaces look (color, shine, transparency, etc.).
UV Mapping
The model's surfaces are mapped to a 2D image, allowing textures to display correctly.
3D printing
Indicates whether the designer marked this model as suitable for 3D printing.
Model is not 3D printable
The designer indicates this model is intended for digital use only (rendering, animation, or AR/VR) and not for 3D printing.
