Orbiting in 3D: A Real-Time Exploration of the International Space Station

This is a real-time 3D model of the International Space Station — a project that brings one of humanity’s most complex engineering achievements into an interactive, explorable form.

Instead of showing static renders, I recorded a live walkthrough of the station model. You can freely navigate around the solar arrays, trusses, and modules, giving a sense of scale and structure that is hard to capture in still images.

Interactive Model

🎯 Why this matters: Interactive 3D is a powerful way to communicate sophisticated technology. Whether it is architecture, machinery, or — in this case — an entire orbital laboratory, real-time visualization helps people grasp complexity at a glance.

The closer we can bring ideas, systems, and structures to life, the easier it becomes to explain them — even when they are floating 400 km above us.
