The text below is about teaching students using interactive examples: Educational models, even simple ones, showcase visual cues astronauts use for orbit docking. In emergencies or with additional verification needed, visual targets are often utilized to ensure correct alignment. Utilizing perspective and three-dimensional design allows one to determine alignment by assessing position in relation to the spacecraft and distance. Several designs have been created for such indicators - our model is based loosely on a Soyuz spacecraft target and can be easily 3D printed at home to teach basic docking principles used during space missions.
