"Groundbreaking ISS Mimic Transforms Space Station Experience"

The ISS Mimic project aims to make the International Space Station (ISS) more relatable by creating a 3D printable 1:100 model of the Station that is linked to real-time telemetry data. The model includes rotating solar arrays and radiators, as well as LEDs that indicate the status of various onboard systems. The project also visualizes the raw telemetry data into visually exciting status pages, making it more accessible and appealing to younger audiences. The team hopes to have schools and institutions build their own ISS Mimics, and is working on a smaller, easier-to-print version. Future plans include adding motorized components and encouraging the Hackaday community to build their own ISS Mimic.
