Imagiverse Reconnaissance Orbiter
What better to explore Mars than with the Imagiverse Reconnaissance Orbiter! Modelled after the real Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter, the students constructed a spacecraft from basic materials.
 |
 |
The big antenna dish was constructed with papier-mâché while the solar panels which power the spacecraft were made from popsicle sticks and poster board.
 |
 |
To protect the spacecraft from the harsh conditions of space, some reflective gold foil was applied to the body to reflect the strong sunlight that shines on it.
 |
Diagrams and pictures of the real spacecraft were used as guidelines in the building process.
