Sentinel 6 / Jason-CS Scaled Model
About Sentinel 6/Jason-CS Earth observation mission
The mission is a constellation of two identical satellites that are launched sequentially. Each satellite carries a radar altimeter to provide high-precision and timely observations of the topography of the global ocean.
This information is essential for the continued monitoring of changes in sea level, a key indicator of climate change. It is also essential for operational oceanography.
Mapping up to 95% of Earth’s ice-free ocean every 10 days, it offers vital information on ocean currents, wind speed and wave height for maritime safety. The data are also important for protecting and managing the increasingly busy coastal zones.
Sentinel-6 builds on heritage from the Jason series of ocean topography satellites.
While it is one of the European Union’s family of Copernicus satellite missions, Sentinel-6 is also being realized thanks to cooperation between ESA, NASA, NOAA and Eumetsat. As part of this international cooperation, Sentinel-6 is also equipped with an advanced microwave radiometer, which has been supplied by NASA. The radiometer accounts for the amount of water vapor in the atmosphere, which affects the speed of the altimeter’s radar pulses.
The satellite is also named Sentinel 6-Michael Freilich in honor of the late director of NASA’s Earth science division. Sentinel 6A, built by Airbus Defence and Space and Thales Alenia Space in Europe, will also join the European Commission’s Copernicus Earth observation satellite network.
NEXT LAUNCH: The launch is planned in 10 November 2020 with a Falcon 9 rocket (SpaceX).
Sentinel 6 scaled model
With the scaled model for desktop you can show all the instruments and operating systems of the Sentinel 6, it includes a base. The standard model is 1:40 scaled model but you can order bigger models, also big sizes 1:1, 1:2, etc., with very big structures.
Revised by the Sentinel 6 experts.

Lunar Museum – Augmented Reality App
The Lunar Museum has already opened its doors in Fresnedillas de la Oliva (Madrid, Spain), next to NASA’s former Manned Space Flight Tracking Station. Its new location hosts a renewed modern exhibition for which we have designed an Augmented Reality App.
New scaled models space shop
We are open for business! After many years of carefully designing, producing and selling scaled models of many space exploration missions, we have finally opened our own online store.
Tianwen-1 – China’s first rover to Mars – All instruments in 3D (Huoxing mission)
On July 23th 2020, China launched Tianwen-1, their first mission to the planet Mars. This mission consists of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. It’s the first time anyone tries to deploy all three in the same mission! If successful, the Tianwen-1 rover will explore Mars in search for signs of ancient watery environments in the surface and current underground water deposits. There’s not much information on the rover instruments around so at SpaceRobotics.EU we have decided to put it all together for you to learn more about the instruments that it’s taking to Mars. read more…
Accessible Scaled Models for the Lunar Museum
The Lunar Museum has already opened its doors in Fresnedillas de la Oliva (Madrid, Spain), next to NASA’s former Manned Space Flight Tracking Station. Its new location hosts a renewed modern exhibition for which we have created many accessible scaled models.
Covid_19 Mision with @AstronautaLiLi
We team up with @AstronautLiLi to produce a series of educational videos on space sciences and space exploration for kids to keep exploring the Universe during the covid-19 sanitary alert.
Working towards a way out the COVID-19 alert
Like everyone else, SpaceRobotics.EU has taken extraordinary measures due to the covid_19 sanitary alert. Besides asking all our employees to work on-line from their homes to limit human contact and stop the propagation, at SpaceRobotics.EU we are contributing to fight the virus by 3D printing masks and protective visors for health personnel.
2019 new VR scenarios – Mission training, orbit visualization, use of instruments, collaborative projects and mission highlights.
At SpaceRobotics.EU we are ceaselessly ahead of the curve in Virtual Reality experiences, always offering state-of-the-art professional hardware and custom-made high-quality software. We ended 2019 with four top-selling experiences, a Lunar Roving Vehicle driving simulator, an Apollo 11 immersion and two hypothetical scenarios, a walk trough 67-P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko and another one trough ESA’s Moon Village. For 2020 we are aiming even higher. We already have some brand-new scenarios in Mars that take advantage of the latest graphic cards and new 3D renderers and that will include ESA and NASA’s latest Mars rovers, and we are working on new experiences and improvements and expansions for the all-ready-existing ones.
Experts in 3D-design and 3D-printing with over 100 models and a dedicated 3D-Printing Lab.
3D-printing is a new technology that is still trying to make it into our everyday lives, but at SpaceRobotics.EU, we already master it. For the past five years, we have been the only company to mass-produce space-exploration-related 3D-printed scaled models, providing them to renown institutions such as the European Space Agency.
New Visitors’ Centre at ORM (IAC’s Roque de los Muchachos Observatory)
Over the past few months, we have been involved in a huge science communication project. A new visitors centre was built at the worldwide-known Roque de los Muchachos Observatory and we have been developing all its science-and-technology-related content.
