This model comprises some of the best 3D visualizations of asteroids and comets that we currently have. Print them out to hold a scaled down model in your hands! All files model files were retrieved from 3d-asteroids.space 3D asteroids catalogue.
High fidelity 3 dimensional data of these objects are typically gathered using ground based radar interferometry in combination with space probe based imaging.
It should be noted that the models in this collection are not to scale. They have been sized individually to be easy to hold, large enough to see a good amount of surface detail, while not using too much filament.
Objects currently in this collection:
- Comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko (visited and landed on by Rosetta/Philae mission in 2014)
- Asteroid Bennu (visited and sample returned by OSIRIS-REx in 2020)
- Asteroid Eros (visited by NEAR Shoemaker in 2000)
- Asteroid Ida (flyby by Galileo in 1993)
- Asteroid Vesta (visited by Dawn in 2011)
- Asteroid Lutetia (flyby by Rosetta in 2010)
