Goes-r

Hello everyone;

In light of the launch of the new GOES-R satellite tonight,
I was busy doing a test build of my newest model, the GOES-R satellite.
It has about 2 weeks before it's complete.

3 weeks ago, I've completed the GPM Satellite design.

It's was proven to be one of my most difficult designs I've ever done so far and to my surprise, it's looking quite good.

I've also downloaded the Atlas V launcher for the GOES-R from the AXM website, Thanks Alfonzo.

As a weather junkie, I will keep an eye on this thread

Here are some updates form you. Next step is to work in the solar arrays.
I also included a pic of the recently completed design of the GPM Satellite.
These will be released soon.

Hi Zach,

Interested in putting your model along with my Atlas V?
It'll be a complete kit, just like Osiris-Rex.

Be glad to, it should be ready after Thanksgiving. All most done with the build and write in instructions.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

It's finally complete. It was one of the most difficult design works I've done
so far and the model contains a lot of parts.

As you can see, the model has several moving instruments which mimics the real spacecraft.

Next step is to write the instructions and then release it.

I'm excited about this challenge!

Your GOES-R is very sharp. Looking forward to its release, and building it.

Hello everyone

tried to upload the files of the GOES-R satellite in the downloads section.
I keep getting an error message...
"Error: The uploaded file exceeds the post_max_size directive in php.ini"
for the parts file, which is 13.5 MB in size.

I think the limit is 20 MB.

Can someone help?
