ASTEROID MINING SUPPORT SPACECRAFT

A multi-function support spacecraft offering maintenance, research & transportation of raw materials to the asteroid mining industry, for the year 2050. To responsibly care for the planet Earth, the spacecraft will be built in space using asteroid resources. It will operate within the Asteroid Belt, located between the planet Mars & Jupiter. It houses a crew of astronauts as well as maintenance and cargo pods.

I am a creative model maker with a love for all types of transports. An outside-the-box thinker, with an eye for detail, I believe that 3D modelling is a creative tool that brings a design to life. I am a keen team worker, also highly capable of working on my own.
During the 4 years studying Automotive and Transport Design at Coventry University, I have learnt how to use a variety of tools including Alias, Clay, Illustrator and KeyShot and reinforced my passion for modelling.
My goal is to become a professional Clay/Alias Modeller.

Top View of the Spacecraft travelling within the Asteroid Belt. One can see solar panels on the outer curves and neon green hexagon windows on the roof top.
Front View of the Spacecraft travelling within the Asteroid Belt. One can see the air-lock doors (entrance) part of the roof top and the stepped outer curves where the solar panels are. All edges are neon green.

ASTEROID MINING SUPPORT SPACECRAFT - 2050 - "A multi-function support spacecraft offering maintenance, research & transportation of raw materials to the asteroid mining space industry."
Why this project? To responsibly care for the planet Earth due to alarming facts related to pollution and Earth natural resources running out. Solution: Asteroid Mining. Spacecrafts will be built in space by localised Manufacturing Space Stations, using asteroid raw material.
Earth Forecast when each metal runs out - Graph. Asteroid resources & list of industries that can benefit from them.
Spacecraft houses 17 Scientists living and working for a period of time. The astronaut crew form a community of highly educated, forward thinking and physically fit. There is a Space Farm onboard for life support system.
Design Inspiration comes from the unknown of the oceans through the natural and man-made environment and the sky to the unknown of the outer space. Key-words are: Dare, Explore, Science, Technology, Investment.
