About this model
This six-file 3D printable model gives a rare view into the Earth-based counterpart of many an interplanetary spacecraft. Models of spacecraft are popular, but the vehicles they represent are incomplete and of no use without the tons of sttel and concrete and systems that make up Earth-based stations like this one. This is a 1:250 scale model of a 34-meter diameter Beam Waveguide (BWG) Deep Space Station. It prints easily without needing any support material or rafting. It illustrates the antenna's mechanical structure and its microwave beam-waveguide system. It shows correctly how the dish rotates in azimuth and elevation above-grade, while the waveguide tubes articulate to reflect radio signals to and from the receivers and transmitters, which are located below-grade (not represented in …
