Ariel (Atmospheric Remote-sensing Infrared Exoplanet Large-survey) is a joint mission between ESA and Ariel consortium. It will be studying the properties and atmospheres of approximately 1000 transit exoplanets.
The launch is planned in 2029 on an Ariane 62 together with Comet interceptor mission.
Ariel will join Cheops and Plato to form a trio of satellites dedicated to the study of exoplanets

3D Printing
The model needs supports under the telescope assembly, and I suggest taking a look to where I positioned them in the gcode file
3D Modelling
I created this model with Autodesk Fusion using as references the schemes on Ariel's official documentation
