New SCANSat Model development?


Recommended Posts

I want to turn the SCANSat parts into something that fits inside a CubeSat frame. The frame is a cube 50 cm on each side. How would I go about making the animated antennae? I want to model them after real-life instruments such as

All parts should be foldable into a 10 cm by 50 cm by 50 cm rectangular prism, and should include corresponding animations.

SAR antenna would be the hardest. What program are you working in?

I use Blender because it's free and I'm used to it.

For the multispectral camera, I am envisioning a glass-like enclosure with electronics visible inside. The glass would be kind of beer-bottle-brown (supposedly to prevent damage to the "cameras").
