Wikimedia has recently allowed the upload of 3D models. The addition of 3D models will allow a much better understanding of the structure of spacecrafts and rockets than 2D diagrams. @Fac-tory-o already made several models of spacecrafts, including Juno and Voyager. It would be great to have more.
I think there are also some 3D models on the official NASA website that are open source. Converting them to .stl and uploading them to Commons should be fairly easy.
Article on the introduction of 3D models on Wikipedia. Note that only .stl files are supported right now.

@ The Transhumanist: Do you know the answer to Neopeius' question? Kees08 (Talk) 18:03, 9 February 2019 (UTC)
TASS gives some cost estimates for a planned Russian "Amur" rocket. I don't find it on Wikipedia and I would be surprised if we missed that completely - did it have a different name before? This website links it to Angara-5, but that is flying and not reusable. -- mfb ( talk) 21:55, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
We have an IP that repeatedly adds a list of people for Crew-3 to SpaceX Dragon 2. We also have that list in SpaceX Crew-3 and Commercial Crew Program. I don't find any announcement by NASA, SpaceX, or anyone else. The only reference I find is the one in the article, going to spacefacts.de. Is that reliable, and where did they get that information from? Because I fear they copied the Wikipedia table (which is older than spacefacts.de's page, creating "facts" via circular referencing. -- mfb ( talk) 20:56, 23 November 2020 (UTC)
