PROJECT DESCRIPTION

An interactive 3D web application built with React and Three.js that visualizes NASA’s Mission to Psyche. Users scroll through an immersive 3D scene featuring models of planets, the Psyche asteroid, the Psyche spacecraft, and the spacecraft’s trajectory, along with an educational overlay about the mission. The application features a scroll-driven camera system, configurable model motion (spin, orbit, path), animated trajectory rendering, and a modular architecture that makes it easy to extend the scene with new models and content.
