Spacecraft Visual Docking Indicator Target Principle Model | 3D

Last crawled date: 3 years, 5 months ago

A simple educational model demonstrating the principle of visual docking indicators used in spacecraft when docking in orbit - these are usually only used as a backup or additional indicator
using parallax and the 3d shape you can see if you arealigned correctly, on track, rotated and how far away you are
there are varios designs for such docking targets - the model is based vaguely on the one used by soyuz spacecraft and designed to fit in a basic 3d printer and demonstrate the basic working principle of such indicators
