Satellite of Unicornia - Moon Challenge

This design is part of our Space Wars Program - That includes space designs, 2d-3D space Shooting Games and fleet of ROVERS and DRONES to compete for survival and superiority. All to assist in Making humans multi-planetary species - MHMS.

Under This program various robotics clubs for schools and colleges as well as Yolabs- Clubs participates in setting up colonies @ mars and @ moon

Though you are free to use any digital tool to make it happen, we mainly rely on TinkerCAD, Fusion 360, 3D printing, raspberry pi, PIXHalk, laser cutters .

This is one of simplest video to make a spaceship that could be your starting point towards full blown-out SpaceWARS .

THATS THE WAY 🎮

1. Account in TinkerCAD
2. A Rocket Model of picture
3. A mouse
4. A Laptop or Desktop

I designed solar panel @ later stage but later on i feel this must be the first thing to start with

Its quite Easy

Steps (ref video tutorial for easy understanding)

1. Take a polygon
2. duplicate and shrink another polygon
3. Make it a hole and cut it
4. Make strips by flatening a copied polygon

Designing the body is bit tricky but not so difficult

Steps (ref video tutorial for easy understanding)

1. take a sphere or hemisphere and make it hollow for dish antenna
2. take cylinders and make the base
3. Take a paraboloid and flatten it to make a disk
4. Take a pyramid and cut it to make internals of antenna
5. put all together

This step is using the special trick of duplicating and rotating to create patterns

Steps (ref video tutorial for easy understanding)

1. Take a cube
2. make a duplicate and rotate by 36 degree
3. click on duplicate
4. use a hole cylinder to cut the central portion
5. fix on the body
6. place few other rings on main stem

Students can add multiple rings of different patterns as well as dish antenna. also can create a small animation so make this satellite to show from all possible directions
