If you’re looking for a little project to do with the kids (older kids – these are a little complicated!), try making a paper model. We’ve got a few really cool ones on the archive to try out (all in pdf):

• French satellite A-1 nicknamed Asterix (instructions | model sheet)
• V-2 rocket (instructions | model sheet)
• Thor-Able Launch Vehicle for Pioneer 1 (instructions | model sheet | display stand)
