NASA 3D Resources

NASA 3D Resources (science.nasa.gov/3d-resources): NASA's free catalog of about 380 3D models (GLB), 3D printables (STL) and planetary images and textures (JPG/TIF) of spacecraft, rovers, landing sites, asteroids and planets. Search by keyword, asset type, file format and collection, and get one asset with its description, contributors, every downloadable file with a public URL, the GitHub mirror folder and its usage terms. Files are listed, never downloaded. Assets follow the NASA Images and Media Usage Guidelines: generally free of copyright, no implied endorsement, no misuse of NASA insignia.
