"Bubble Bis" is an interplanetary navigation spacecraft controlled by a (not very friendly) artificial intelligence developed for long distances and small cargo. Its name was inspired by Santos Dummont's airplane (14 Bis).

Although their designs are not similar, I swear the name is not a coincidence! When I was a child, I bought a magazine that taught how to make a paper 14 Bis. It had the paper structures of the rods and the rings glued together with white glue. And believe it or not: it actually flew!

That memory came back to me when I started this project. So, "Bis" is a tribute to the strangest paper airplane ever created. And "bubble" because of the shape of the spacecraft's structures.
