We would *love* to have one, but currently there is none actually on the horizon.

#ESA has a number of 3D model formats for download (none for printing yet):

👉 https://scifleet.esa.int/model/euclid (go to downloads)

And ESA's scifleet compilation has paper models at least for some missions, e.g. #esagaia

👉 https://scifleet.esa.int/

Coming Monday (31. July) we will declare "First Light" for #ESAEuclid 🛰️ and show the first engineering images that the #VIS and #NISP instruments 📷 have taken of the sky, using a fully focussed telescope! 🔭

Yay! 🥳

That said, #Euclid has now also arrived at its ultimate distance from Earth, circling around the Sun-Earth Lagrange point 2 😎🌏🛰️ - joining #ESAGaia and #JWST:

During our 6-year sky survey, #ESAEuclid 🛰️ will transmit huge amounts of data 💽 - for being 1.5 million kilometers away from 🌎 Earth: up to 100 GB are downlinked every day, more than twice than what #JWST or #ESAGaia transmit.

How fast is your internet? #ESAEuclid is downlinking 📡 its data with up to 75 megabits per second. How that works and what tech is needed for that you can read in this #ESA background article:

The sparse virtual textures also work in VR, and they are quite impressive.

From CASW: The amazing #SciWri22 Patrusky Lecture by Harvard astronomer Alyssa A. Goodman on "The New Universe" is now online! Learn what #JWST and #ESAGaia are revealing, imagine a simulated universe, and check out new #dataviz tools for #scicomm and exploration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BToAEK38WaU
