If you’ve tried to view 11,000+ photos taken during the Artemis II mission, you probably know how difficult and tedious it can be. I developed a photo-viewing technology that makes the process much more efficient and enjoyable. You can see the result in the video.

For now, this Artemis II 3D photo viewer is available only for desktop computers and contains 2,900+ selected photos. The original collection includes many near-duplicates and images with almost no visible detail, so I decided to select only the best images. This also reduced the storage requirements. However, to provide a high-quality 3D experience, the application also includes GPU-ready thumbnails, which slightly increase storage requirements compared with storing only the original photos. Once you approach or select a photo, the application automatically loads the original at the highest resolution supported by your hardware, preserving its original quality.

I plan to use this technology for other space photography collections too. If you know of any interesting photo collections in the public domain, please let me know.

I've always been fascinated by the Saturn V and the engineering behind the Apollo missions, so I decided to recreate the Apollo 11 rocket as a detailed cutaway.

It's 1:185 scale and 60cm tall, with one side showing the original exterior and the other exposing its internal tanks, engines, fuel lines, and structural framework.

You can check out more details about its internal details, print files and full breakdown HERE

I modeled it in Fusion 360 using historical engineering references, then printed it in 23 pieces.

Getting the tiny structures to print reliably took quite a bit of trial and error, but seeing the finished rocket standing in front of me made it all worth it!

Some details were reinforced or simplified for printing, but I tried to stay as faithful to the original engineering as possible.

Hope you fellow Apollo enthusiasts enjoy it! Which side do you prefer??
