About this model
HawkEye 360 Block 1 is one of the 203 3D models Space Radar made itself: a satellite, built in code from published dimensions and photographs, with no image-to-3D generator and no one else’s mesh.
Shape built from published dimensions and pictures; details simplified. It has 3,026 triangles in a 39 kB glTF file, and is 0.4 m across at full scale.
On Space Radar’s live map it is drawn for 3 catalogued objects, each where its published orbit puts it now. Open it on the map.

eoPortal, eoportal.org/satellite-missions/hawkeye-360, OPENED 2026-10-27: 'The spacecraft has dimensions 0.20 m x 0.20 m x 0.44 m, and a launch wet mass of 13.4 kg'; 'dimensions of 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.44 m, plus an additional 7 cm mezzanine section'; its table: 'Dimensions 20 cm x 26.7 cm x 44 cm'; 'four launch rails'; 'quarter-wave dipoles, patches, and wide-band button and horn antennas'. We built 20 x 26.7 x 44 cm. OURS: every antenna's place and size, the whips' length and angle, the boom's length and width, the nozzle (read 2026-10-27)
How it was made
Built in code from published dimensions and photographs, with no image-to-3D generator and no one else’s mesh. 3D model: built by Space Radar from eoPortal's published dimensions; compared with the operator's pictures, looked at only.
The full record
built by this project in code (release 1.3.0's part library, lib.py and parts.py, kept with the stage's notes in ~/space-radar-handoff/release-1.4/r14-m5/build, one script a craft), from the cited dimensions and the pictures under `references`; no image-to-3D model was used, and no published mesh: NASA's 3D Resources (1 583 paths, read 2026-10-27) has none of this craft, and no operator of it was found to publish a model under a free licence (searched 2026-10-27)
Where the map uses it. the first three HawkEye 360 radio-frequency mapping microsatellites, the Pathfinder cluster (Hawk-A, -B, -C, launched December 2018), on the SFL NEMO-15 bus: NORAD 43765, 43794, 43799. It wore the class shape of a satellite; public #1151. NOT the later blocks (Hawk-2 to Hawk-14, 36 more in the live data): the issue says they are larger and no size or picture was found, so one block is built and only that block routed
Licence note. No operator picture or model is in the file: the pictures named `LOOKED AT ONLY` were looked at for the layout and are on no sheet. The shape is this project's, under this repository's licence, built from published numbers (facts). NO LOGO, FLAG OR LETTERING is on the mesh.
