Wrapping Stars With Origami

Lima | Webb Origami Design Challenge

THREE DIMENSIONAL ICOSAHEDRON SATELLITE

High-Level Project Summary

We propose a three-dimensional design of the satellite, adopting the shape of a Platonic solid, specifically an icosahedron.The icosahedron is a polyhedron made up of twenty faces, and each of the 20 equilateral triangles can now be a third of the satellite plate, being a more efficient design alternative.

Webb Origami Design Challenge

The James Webb Space Telescope is NASA's next premier space science observatory and will fulfill the agency's vision to "discover and expand knowledge for the benefit of humanity." Your challenge is to create origami artwork that looks like the James Webb Space Telescope and showcases Webb as a technological and design marvel using an “arts-meets-science” approach.
