DLR Staring Sensor
Introducing the Staring Sensor, a game-changer in space debris management and satellite tracking! As our skies get busier with satellites and debris, this little device is making a big difference. It's small, easy to move around, and simple to use – just plug it in, connect it to the internet, and it's good to go.
Building a secure future in space
The Staring Sensor works like a detective in space, scanning the night sky to find and study moving objects with accuracy. It keeps track of their positions in a real-time database, so we can keep our communication and Earth observation systems safe.
Combining 2D and 3D
In this project, I mixed 2D and 3D animation for the first time. The scenes on Earth showing the Staring Sensor were made in 2D, while everything in space, like the rotating Earth, satellites, and rockets, was made in 3D with Cinema4D. By blending these techniques, I created an interesting animation that explains complex ideas physically correct while keeping viewers hooked with cool visuals and vibrant colors.
