hello.. i am trying to model in 3d the mars rover and can't find the correct material, so I was wondering whether anyone in here has access to more information than I do and cares to help.
I am looking for detailed pictures of rover parts from all sides (top, left, right and bottom). I am attaching a few pics for the members to see the progress of my work. Trying to be as accurate as possible. Process is really slow since I have to make stuff out of bad reference pics I've tried collecting material from the nasa site, from raw images coming from the rover, from roobtics' sites etc, but couldn't come up with the correct reference i am seeking. if anyone cares to help, please do so ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() -------------------- |

PDP8E... number 1 & 2 material is THE SAME in all 3 pictures, meaning in picture 3 the dull 1, is the same as the 1 material in the first two pics...
The first two pics show the same thing at a different angle, so I can only assume that the 'shining' 1 material is only shiny when is hit directly with light (aka it's bump shows) As for the number 2 material, it's clearly shown in the first picture that it's kapton tape, but it's strange. Did they cover the WHOLE rover body in kapton tape? I think I read somewhere its a great dust sealant, but I think NASA would find another way instead of sealing it this way. I could be wrong though! Most brilliant things come from the simplest ones.. I would appreciate if someone that took part in the creation of the rover told me what kind of materials those two are, and of course reference photos would help a lot! -------------------- |

Did they cover the WHOLE rover body in kapton tape? They LOVE kapton tape. I'm sure some of those guys tie their shoes and hold up their pants with it. -------------------- If Occam had heard my theory, things would be very different now.
