DIY Psyche Spacecraft
Hannah Sweis
Major: Mechanical Engineering
Genre/Medium: PLA 3D Printing
About the work: The goal of this project is to demonstrate how easy it is to be creative and be inspired by something. The pieces of this project easily come together to make a miniature model of the Psyche Orbiter, kind of like assembling furniture with an instruction manual. The idea of “building your own orbiter” shows that anyone can be inspired by something like the Psyche Spacecraft, and represents how easy it is to get involved in the project on a smaller scale even if you don’t work at NASA, and aren’t building a giant spacecraft. You can even find 3D print files, and other ways of getting creative, on the Psyche website!
