## 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 JAXA's published dimensions; compared with a photograph of JAXA's model by Artem.G (CC BY 4.0).

built by this project in code (release 1.3.0 stage W1-c's part library, lib.py, and one script a craft, kept with the stage's notes), 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, and NASA Science's 3D models have none of this craft; read 2026-10-20)

## Dimensions

- Width: 2.4 m
- Depth: 1.7 m

This cylindrical tank is also used as the structure base.' JAXA, press conference of 25 January 2024, https://www.isas.jaxa.jp/en/outreach/announcements/files/SLIM-pressconf-20240125.pdf, OPENED 2026-10-20: 'the final attitude of the spacecraft is believed to be an almost vertical position with the main engine facing upwards and the solar panels facing west'; 'causing the nozzle to break and fall, resulting in the loss of most of the thrust generated by the main engine on the -X side'. OURS: which cited side is which (2.7 m along the engines, 2.4 m across, 1.7 m from the cells to the legs, read off the media kit's figures), the 12 degree lean, every part's size
