Space 1999 - Eagle Spaceships redesigned in CATIA - Episode 01

After our contest to challenge CATIA users in finding what I have designed this last days, here are a first post of a serie I will create to give you some more details on how I have recreated Space 1999 Eagle transporters.

​​​​​​​

The first (obvious) thing to say is that all the data I needed or I have created where stored and managed in our 3DEXPERIENCE platform.


So I have started my design using CATIA Mechanical and Shape Engineer role, and of course existing pictures and drawings of this fictional spaceship.​​​​​​​

I also used my 3DConnexion SpaceMouse and CADMouse Pro wireless to ease both navigation and design in CATIA.

Thanks to all this, I not only redesigned Space 1999 Eagle Transporter, but also several other versions:

  • Eagle Transporter, with is in fact the Eagle spacecraft carrier with Passenger pod
  • Eagle carrier with VIP pod
  • Eagle with Rescue Pod
  • Eagle with Laboratory Pod
  • Eagle with Laboratory Pod and Spine Booster
  • Eagle Freighter

Tell me which one is your preferred one :-)

More details to come on in future articles...
