Tycho Crater on Moon 3D Topographical 12.5" Model from NASA Data

Tycho Crater on Moon 3D Topographical 12.5" Model from NASA Data

Each Space Terrain is an exacting recreation of a specific extra-terrestrial topographic detail.

MRG has perfected a process by which we digitally combine NASA LRO or MRO radar,

scan data with super-high resolution photos to create an unprecedented level of detail!

We then output these files in 3D with a resolution down to 16 microns!

These were then turned into master patterns from which we produce these items.

They are not 3D printed, they are made of hardened resin.




This stunningly realistic model of Tycho Crater can be hung on the wall or rest flat on your desk.

Facts

Tycho is believed to have formed about 100 million years ago when an asteroid or comet slammed into the Moon.

Material from the impact fell back to the surface as bright rays of ejecta, 

visible from Earth with the naked eye, although the crater itself is too small to be seen.


2001: A Space Odssey.

Tycho Crater is featured prominently in the film 2001: A Space Odyssey,

in scenes where a 4 million year old alien monolith (“Tycho Magnetic Anomaly”, or TMA-1) was found,

buried forty feet beneath the lunar surface.
