NASA Spacecraft

Yanlin Ma turns the history of spaceflight into an absorbing interactive archive with NASA Spacecraft. Set against deep charcoal, a finely rendered wireframe satellite — here the Soviet-era Tselina 2 — floats at the centre of the screen, orbited by a vertical launch-date timeline and crisp front, left and top technical views. Toggles for date and image sorting invite exploration, while a small moon and quiet monospace captions reinforce the observatory-like mood. It is an elegant, immersive piece of 3D and interactive design that makes engineering diagrams feel genuinely cinematic.
