Product Code : EL-AE-7202
Jlab Export is a leading Illuminated Orbiter Astronomy Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Illuminated Orbiter Astronomy (code EL-AE-7202) is a motorised, illuminated Sun, Earth and Moon model that shows how the three bodies revolve around one another, used to demonstrate daylight and night, the seasons and the phases of the Moon in school astronomy and geography lessons. An electronic motor drives the 381 mm arm, and the model is listed for 230 V. It is made by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd (JLab) at its works in Ambala, India.

How Does It Compare with the Hand-Turned Orbiter?
| Model | Drive | Sun / Earth / Moon | Arm | Power |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Illuminated Orbiter Astronomy (EL-AE-7202) | Electronic motor; illuminated | 6 in sphere / 4 in globe / 1 in Moon | 381 mm | 230 V as listed |
| Orbiter Astronomy | Turned by hand through gears | 6 in sphere / 4 in globe / 1 in Moon | 381 mm | None listed |
Both teach the same four topics with the same-sized bodies. Choose the illuminated, motorised orbiter when you want steady, hands-free motion during a demonstration, and the hand-turned Orbiter Astronomy where mains power is not convenient or students should drive the model themselves.
What Is the Illuminated Orbiter Used For?
The orbiter turns the Sun–Earth–Moon system into something a class can watch from their seats. Daylight and night follow from the half of the globe that faces the Sun at any moment; the seasons come from Earth’s tilted axis, which leans each hemisphere towards the Sun for part of the year and away from it for the rest; and the phases of the Moon appear as the 1-inch Moon travels round the globe and a changing share of its sunlit half faces Earth. Because the electronic motor drives the model, the teacher is free to point, pause and question while it runs.
It suits the Earth, Moon and seasons topics in school geography and science, and introductory astronomy lessons. Switch the orbiter off and unplug it before moving or cleaning it, and do not force the arm round by hand while the motor is running.
What to Specify When Ordering
- Mains voltage and plug type — the model is listed for 230 V with a 230 V European version; state the supply and plug used where it will run.
- Quantity — the minimum order is 10 orbiters.
- Drive — this motorised, illuminated model or the hand-turned Orbiter Astronomy.
- Companion items — a Moon relief map or planetarium set can be quoted on the same enquiry.
Frequently Asked Questions
What voltage does the Illuminated Orbiter Astronomy use?
It is listed for 230 V, and a 230 V European version is available. Tell JLab your mains voltage and plug type when you enquire so that the right version is quoted.
What does the orbiter demonstrate?
Daylight and night, the seasons and the phases of the Moon, by showing how the Sun, Earth and Moon revolve around one another.
How large are the Sun, Earth and Moon?
The Sun is a 6 inch yellow sphere, the Earth a 4-inch globe and the Moon a 1-inch reproduction of the Moon, carried on an arm 381 mm long.
Is it motorised or hand-turned?
Motorised — this model has an electronic motor. The Orbiter Astronomy listed separately is the hand-turned, gear-driven alternative with the same-sized bodies.
Why does the orbiter show seasons?
Seasons arise because Earth’s axis is tilted, so as Earth travels round the Sun each hemisphere in turn leans towards the Sun and gets longer days and more direct sunlight.
What should an export quotation request include?
The quantity, destination country and port or city, mains voltage and plug type, delivery terms such as FOB or CIF, packing or labelling needs and any tender reference.
Who manufactures the Illuminated Orbiter?
Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, trading as JLab, makes it at its works in Ambala, Haryana, India.
OEM Manufacturer
The orbiter is built by Jain Laboratory Instruments Pvt Ltd, which trades as JLab — an Indian manufacturer of astronomy, geography and science teaching models, incorporated in 2017 and based on Hargolal Road, Ambala, Haryana. JLab makes it in its own works rather than reselling a trader’s stock, so schools, colleges, dealers and importers buy direct, each orbiter is visually checked before it is packed, and repeat orders are handled by the manufacturer. JLab ships worldwide and serves every region — Thailand in Southeast Asia, Guinea in West Africa, Mongolia in East Asia, Bolivia in South America and Norway in Northern Europe among them. For tenders, see the JLab lab tenders page.
Astronomy Teaching Aids
- Orbiter Astronomy — the hand-turned, gear-driven version with the same Sun, Earth and Moon sizes.
- Raised Relief Map of the Moon — the near and far sides in raised relief, with lunar mission landing sites.
- Project Planetarium — a student set for plotting eclipses, Moon phases and planet positions.
- Sun Scale Kit — a projection kit for measuring the Sun’s diameter and its distance from Earth.
- Solar System Model Astronomy — a model whose base calendar sets the planets to their positions by date.
