Well, I was going to post this model this week because the space shuttle was supposed to launch last Wednesday, carrying the final solar panels to the International Space Station.  That launch was delayed until Sunday (tentatively) because of a leaking hydrogen line.  Then today, the ISS made news because of a near miss with some space debris, that forced the crew to move to the Russian Soyuz lifeboat.

So I guess with all the news, it’s still appropriate to make it this week’s Papercraft Friday model.  Download it here, courtesy of the Double Helix Science Club.  Debris not included.
