EyeSat Space Mission Takes on 3D Printing

Pascal Martinelli, one of the engineers who worked on the Rosetta comet-chaser project with CNES and NASA, says his agency picks out the best engineering students in France a dozen times a year to work on various elements of the Janus Project. This project, the EyeSat, used a total of 400 3D printed parts to work out elements of the final design, and the team ultimately decided to include some of those parts in the final satellite.
