Build Your Own Fermi Satellite

From the creator

Building paper models of spacecraft is a fun, interactive way to learn more about NASA's missions. Watch this video to see how NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope paper model comes together, then try making your own. (If you like this project, you can explore making models of other NASA spacecraft here: https://go.nasa.gov/papermodels.) Launched on June 11, 2008, Fermi observes the cosmos using the highest-energy form of light. Mapping the entire sky every three hours, Fermi provides an important window into the most extreme phenomena of the universe, from gamma-ray bursts and black-hole jets to pulsars, supernova remnants and the origins of cosmic rays.
