<p>Originally published here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3462460">Miranda with known topography scaled one in ten million by tato_713 - Thingiverse</a></p><p>This is based on the topography map from the Dr. Schenk's blog, rendered with MATLAB R2016a. When the Voyager 2 probe flew by the Uranian System, it took very few pictures of Miranda. About a half of its surface is known, so the topography that can be deduced from photometry is reduced to a little patch. The rest was filled by interpolation.</p><p>The file's names explained: <i>name_1_x_10_y.stl</i> is 1 : x* 10^y. So _1_6_10_7 is 1:600000000 or one in 60 million.&nbsp;</p><h4>U5 Miranda</h4><p>Like most of the <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49830">Uranian System</a>, only Miranda's northern hemisphere (defined by the right hand rule) is known because at the time of the Voyager 2 flyby, the north of the system was pointing toward the Sun. Like most of the icy moons of the Solar System, its surface shows signs of ancient geologic activity. It is the smallest of the rounded moons of <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57336-uranus-scaled-one-in-250-million">Uranus</a>, about the size of <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57256-mimas-scaled-one-in-ten-million">Mimas</a> or <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/prints/57254-enceladus-with-known-topography-scaled-one-in-ten-">Enceladus</a>, of the <a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49828">Saturn System</a>.</p><ul><li><strong>Type:</strong> Satellite.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbit:</strong> Uranus.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Orbital period:</strong> 1.413 d.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Composition:</strong> Icy body.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Density:</strong> 1.2 g/cm3.&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Dimensions:</strong> 480 km × 468.4 km × 465.8 km&nbsp;</li><li><strong>Model scale:</strong> 1:1x107 (5cm) 1:4x106 (12cm)</li></ul><h4>References</h4><ul><li><a href="http://stereomoons.blogspot.com/2009/09/mirandas-warning.html">Dr. Schenk's 3D House of Satellites.</a></li><li><a href="https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/4512-surf2stl">Surf to STL function for MATLAB&nbsp;</a></li></ul><h3>Other astronomical objects</h3><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49826">Inner Solar System</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49832">Artificial</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49820">Near Earth Asteroids</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49291">Main Belt Asteroids</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49829">Jovian System</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49828">Saturn System</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49830">Uranian System</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49345">Neptunian System</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49827">Centaurs</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49833">Comets</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49341">Trans Neptunian Objects</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49824">Extrasolar Objects</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49837">Sky Maps</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49831">Ancient</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49822">Speculative</a></p><p><a href="https://www.prusaprinters.org/social/120859-tato_713/collections/49821">Science Fiction</a></p>
