Our project aims to show the 3D model of satellite communication station. From the 3D model one can get idea about the satellite communication. It also shows ground station and space station. We have included one satellite space station and 3 ground sation. Two of them are receiver and one is transmitter.

•Features of ISS
•It is large spacecraft in orbit around earth.
•It orbits earth at an average altitude of approximately
250 miles.
•It travels at 17,500 mph(i.e every 90 minute)
•The space station covers the area of football field
including the end zones.
•The 75 to 90 kilowatts of power for the ISS is supplied
by an acre of solar panels.
•Fifty-two computers control the systems on the ISS.

Conclusion
•Construction of 3D model of the space station helps
us to gain idea about 3D modeling and also will help
us to enhance knowledge and working mechanism
of ISS and Application of ISS in our day to day lives
navigation, astronomy,weather forecasting and
various research.

Limitations
• Ground stations are not in scale.
• Satellite and earth do not rotate separately.
• Secondary source of data collection may always not be reliable as
primary source of data collection is not possible.
