Image description: An artist’s concept of NASA’s exoplanet explorer, Pandora, floats in a light gray background. The body of the small satellite looks like a black box with metal hardware. A long metallic cylinder extends upward from the body with multiple thin rings that slightly protrude from the surface and a flat metal rectangle on one side. On the underside of the body is a shiny dark circle. Pandora’s three solar panels extend from one side of the spacecraft’s body. The visible side is gray and laced with white wires, and the panels are connected with small silver fasteners.

Image description: An artist’s concept of NASA’s exoplanet explorer, Pandora, floats in a light gray background. The body of the small satellite looks like a black box with metal hardware. A long metallic cylinder extends upward from the body with multiple thin rings that slightly protrude from the surface and a flat metal rectangle on one side. Pandora’s three solar panels extend from one side of the spacecraft’s body. From the side with the cylinder, they appear gray, laced with white wires, and connected by small silver fasteners. From the underside, small blue rectangles cover the panels. The main spacecraft body also shows a shiny dark circle on the underside.

This animation shows a 360-degree rotation of of the Pandora model set in neutral gray volume; includes a version with alpha channel/no background.

Image description: An artist’s concept of NASA’s exoplanet explorer, Pandora, floats in a light gray background. The body of the small satellite looks like a black box with metal hardware. A long metallic cylinder extends upward from the body with multiple thin rings that slightly protrude from the surface and a flat metal rectangle on one side. Pandora’s three solar panels extend from one side of the spacecraft’s body. The tops of the panels are gray and laced with white wires, while on the bottom side they are covered with small blue rectangles. On the underside of the spacecraft body is a shiny dark circle.

Image description: An artist’s concept of NASA’s exoplanet explorer, Pandora, floats in a white background. The body of the small satellite looks like a gray box with metal hardware. A long metallic cylinder extends into the foreground; it has multiple thin rings that slightly protrude from the surface and a flat metal pane at the bottom. Pandora’s three solar panels extend from the right side of the spacecraft’s body. The visible side is gray and laced with white wires, and the panels are connected with small silver fasteners.
