Materials:

Te patterns and instructions, which can be•downloaded at www.hubblesite.org/go/model. Te pattern pieces should be printed onto 32-lbpaper. (You may want to have extra printoutshandy in case you need them.)

Cardboard (the weight o a cereal box is good)•

Glues: White or clear crat glue, gluestick (per-•manent), and superglue

Good scissors•

A sharp crat knie with extra blades•

A metal straightedge and/or ruler•

A cutting board or similar surace•

Optional (but very helpful) materials:

weezers or handling small pieces•

A small paintbrush or applying glue•

Flat-edged toothpicks or applying glue and•

superglueTin dowels and/or tapestry needles to help roll•up thin tubes

Clear spray-on sealant to protect the nished•model

Construction tips:

•Readthroughallthedirectionsrstandmakesureyou know where all o your materials are and whatyou will need to do.

• Alwaysfollowsafetyprecautionswhenusingasharpblade, like the one on a crat knie.

•Haveextrabladesavailableandsafelystoreduntilyou need them. Change the blade whenever it starts

to become dull; a sharp blade cuts more easily and issaer to use. Dispose o used blades saely.

•Don’tcutoutpiecesuntilyouneedthem,soyoucankeep track o them. You can also lightly pencil thepiece numbers on the backs. Pieces are numberedand labeled in the recommended order o assembly.

• Scorefoldlinesbeforecuttingoutthepieces.is will make it much easier to old the aps later. Draw the edge o a narrow but not sharp object — like abutter knie or a small athead screwdriver — alongthe dotted lines to make an indentation. Use a rulerto make sure your lines are straight. Alternately,you can use the “dull” side o a crat knie, withaverylightpressuresoyoudon’tcutthroughthepaper. Fold lines that are on cardboard require heavy scoring: use the point o the scissors or a crat knieto lightly cut along the line, just enough to makea small groove, but not going more than halway through the cardboard.

• Foldthepiecesandtrytotthemtogetheratleastonce beore applying the glue.

•Verysmallfoldsareeasiertomakewithapairoftweezers.

• Keepyourhandsandyourworkplacecleanandclearo scraps to prevent accidents and errors.

•Protectyourworksurfacewithscrappaper,especially when gluing.

• Keepyourhandsclean,soyouwon’tgetglueorngerprints on your model.

But what really ascinated him was the technol-ogy – the technology that got the astronauts to the Moon,the technology that brought the journey back to peoplearound the world.

“Te orce o the rockets, the hardware part – that was what interested me,” he said. “It was amazing to see pic-tures on the television screen, especially in that time, thatcame all the way rom the Moon.”

Assembly instructions

At shroud

1. Glue tabs 3 and 4 to the back o piece 1 along the opposingshorter sides (g. 1).

2. Ten glue the ree ends o the tabs behind piece 2 so thatit orms a short tube, making sure that the row o bays onpieces 1 and 2 line up together, orming a ring around the topo the tube. Be sure the edges o the pieces 1 and 2 meet very tightly (g. 2). Tis is the at shroud: the three black circlesare on the ront side and the row o bays goes around the top.

3. At shroud supports: First, turn the at shroud upside-downand test-t ring 5 into the bottom. It should t snugly justinside the edge o the tube. Apply a small amount o glue allthe way around the outside edge o the ring. Careully insertthe ring just inside the bottom edge o the tube and make

sure the paper edges are securely glued all the way around.Let it dry (g. 3).

4. Rollstrip6intoaloopandinsertitinsidetheaftshroudsoitis up against the glued ring (g. 4). Use very little glue to glue

down the ends i necessary.

5. Insert ring 7 into the tube so that it snug against the edge o the spacer strips. Alternate spacers and rings until you get toring 15 (g. 5).

6. Glue ring 15 just inside the top edge o the at shroud, justas you did with the rst ring, by applying a little glue aroundtheoutsideedge(g.6).

7. Baydoors:esheetwiththeinstrumentcovers(16-19)andthebaydoors(20-29)shouldbefoldedinhalfandgluedtogether or extra thickness beore you cut out the pieces.

IP: a glue stick works very well or this (g. 7).

8. Cut them out and apply the covers and doors where indicatedon the at shroud (g. 8). I you gently bend them into acurved shape to match the at shroud cylinder beore glueing,they will be much easier to apply.

where indicated. It will stick out at a slight angle rom the atshroud (g. 11c)

12.Aftscuplates:Assemblepieces36and37asshowntomakethe scuf plates, gluing the tabs underneath the thin curvedstrip. Make sure that the ends o the thin strip line up withthe edges o the outer glue tabs (g. 12).

13.Foldpieces36aand37aintosmallboxesasshown,withthetopapsopenedout.[NOTE:Withsmallboxeslikethese,itis extra important to score careully beore cutting the piecesout. Use tweezers to bend the aps, and to help atten themdown when gluing.] Glue the nished boxes open-side-downto the underside o the scuf plates (g. 13).

14.Rollthestrips38and39astightlyaspossibleandgluetheends down so you have a very small cylinder; it may be easierto roll them around a piece o thick wire or a tapestry needlei you have such items (g. 14).

15. Glue these small cylinders on top o the scuf plates at thecross mark. Glue the assembled scuf plates where indicatedon the at shroud body, so that the at side o the plate acesthe “ront” o the at shroud, where the three circles are (g.15).
