The Kepler Mission, NASA Discovery mission #10, is specifically designed to survey a portion of our region of the Milky Way galaxy to discover dozens of Earth-size planets in or near the habitable zone and determine how many of the billions of stars in our galaxy have such planets. Printable files are of Kepler spacecraft in a configuration which they may be assembled. This model was created for educational purposes, and as such files are scaled for durability where appropriate. The overall assembly is roughly at 1/33 scale. Recommended print settings

  • Solid print density
  • Soluble support structure
  • Existing file orientation (printer varying)
