Description

PDF

This model was rendered using MATLAB R2016a on the ICQ model of the PSI made by Robert Gaskell from the data of the Cassini mission. It's scaled to 1 in 107 or one in ten million. This model is about 4 cm in diameter. On this scale the Moon is a basketball and Mars' moons Phobos and Deimos are 2 and 1 mm respectively. It's also included a one in four million and a one in two million scaled model.

The file's names explained:name_1_x_10_y.stl is 1 : x* 10^y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million. 

S1 Mimas

Mimas is the seventh largest moon of Saturn. It's hydrostatically relaxed despite its size. Mimas is commonly know for its resemblance to the Death Star from Star Wars. This is after a big crater named Herschel. The Herschel crater impact was so huge that it could shater the complete satellite.
