Description: Nozomi (のぞみ) (Japanese for "Wish" or "Hope," and known before launch as Planet-B) was planned as a Mars-orbiting aeronomy probe, but was unable to achieve Mars orbit due to electrical failures. Operation was terminated on December 31, 2003. I couldn't find a free use image of this spacecraft, so to the best of my limited ability I handcrafted an obj file and rendered it in a 3D graphics program in order to represent what this spacecraft might have looked like in space.
