ATLAS
Industrial Design
Kansas State University
Atlas is a modular astronomy system for intermediate astronomers that travel to dark sky areas for stargazing and camping. This compact, cohesive design integrates storage, facilitates transport, and provides a durable, user-centered solution.
How can we simplify transport & storage for traveling stargazers?
The system is composed of a telescope, alt-azimuth mount, extendable tripod, protective case, and storage modules.
