    Spacecraft in Paper, April 2005

    Very little has come up this month.

    22/04/05 - Three paper models of the Deep Impact spacecraft:
    • one for ages 15 and up (approx. 8 hrs) with a 3D set of telescopes & removable impactor
    • A basic model for ages 12 and up (approx. 5 hrs) with the telescopes & impactor pictured on it
    • An Impactor model for ages 10 - 12 and up (approx. 1 hr) with a 3D antenna.
    If you want to detail it, check out the thread about this model on the Space-Modelers Yahoo Group.
