International

Space Station Paper

Model

July 2000 Version

Flights: 1R

Russian Service Module

Model Design: R. Fortezza

Assembling Manual Drawings: G. De Chiara

Dear Modeler,

t his paper model is the fourth part of the International Space Station Paper Model. It was built from

scratch on the basis of photos published by NASA. Please notify to me any error or discrepancy you

could find during the assembly. My address is: fortezza@marscenter.it

The modifications will be implemented according to your suggestions and you will be kept informed

when the updated version will be made available.

Detailed pictures are available at NASA WEB site at: speceflight.nasa.gov. If you require an high

degree of fidelity in your model, please check these images before the assembly to control the correct

positioning of each part. However, images of Zvezda have been included in this manual at page 12.

This model is free ware, as the previous ones, and the idea is to develop the model 1:100 of the entire

ISS. If you want to support the initiative please joint the supporter group and send 10 US $, or even

more if you like, to the developer at the address indicated at page 12. Your name will be posted in the

Supporter List published on the Paper-ISS page at MARS WEB site and you can download all the

updated version of the ISS with the new Modules that will be launched up to the end of this year 2000.

Quality printed model (Unity+Zarya+Shuttle Endeavour+Zvezda) is available based on un-

compressed files and 1440 dpi ink-jet printer. The cost is US $ 35 or an equivalent value in your cur-

rency. Send the money directly via mail to the address indicated at the last page.. The model is

shipped using ordinary post service. If you want express courier please send an e-mail for a quotation

Enjoy

Zvezda Assembling Guide

Cut out and bend the parts following the line. For best results use a sharp hobby knife and

a metal straight edge. For some parts small scissor (normal and curved) is better. Glue

together the parts using a thin, even coat of ordinary white glue. Print the sheets on a color

printer. The format of this model should be compatible with both A-4 or US Letter sheet

size. Images of real Zvezda have been included at page 12 to help you during mounting.

The Zvezda Paper model is formed by four printed sheets. Two sheets should be printed on

Glossy paper or a paper sheet of about 100-110 gr/m 2 . The numbered parts belonging to

these sheet are identified respectively by the letter G1 and G2 followed by the part number.

The third and fourth sheet should be printed on light card board paper (or EPSON Photo

Paper) (about 160 gr/m 2 ) and the parts are identified by the label C1 and C2 followed by

the part number.

Cut the G1-5 and C1-9 part. These parts

are the main body of Zvezda structure.

Glue them together paying attention to the

alignment of the two elements.

If you prefer as alternative you can roll

and glue first the G1-5 using the G1-1 as

gluing tab and then glue the C1-9 on the

tube obtained.

Roll the two parts on a sharp table edge and,

once the shape is similar to a cylinder, glue the

tab G1-1 and form the Zvezda body.

To improve the model accuracy for this part the gluing tabs from the cylindrical parts

has been eliminated and a new separate one the G1-1 has been included to eliminate the

gap formed when a single part is rolled and glued on itself. See the following sketch to

understand the modification.

Cut the G1-24 part and bend it carefully trying

to follow the shape of the two U shaped struc-

tures. This part is the dish support of the large

antenna located in the aft. Use a straight edge

to bend along each line. Make a small cut at the

end of each line to easy the operation.

Cut the G1-14 part and bend it carefully trying to

form a tube. This part is the arm of the large

antenna located in the aft. Bend the end cap and

glue it on the edge.

Cut the antenna motor assembly G1-11 part and bend it carefully trying

to form a tube with the two end lids. There is an additional lid G1-9 to be

added on the external lid to for a flat cap. On the external surface there is

a circle marking the part where the arm has to be located.

Make an hole in the center of the mark and insert a piece of a toothpick.

Once inserted and glued in place cut two small stripes and roll them around

the toothpick. The part protruding from the tube has to be shorter than the

arm tube. The two stripes rolled around are forming two rings located at the

two end of the toothpick. The radius of the two rings shall allow the insertion

of the antenna arm.

Insert the antenna arm on the toothpick and glue it. The

open end of the tube is shaped to fit the round shaped

motor assembly. Insert the antenna support on the arm. If

it stay in place without glue leave it them without glue it so

that it allow a certain degree of rotation respect to the arm.

If the connection is loose than insert a pin from a side so

that the antenna can be pitch rotated respect to the arm.

Cut the Zvezda aft G1-21.

Cut also the two card-

board discs C1-1 and C1-

2. Glue the three part

together. Cut the three

circle marked with R

from the part.

Insert the antenna arm in the central hole. Cut the two stripes G1-22 and G1-23. Roll the G1-23

Outside and the G1-22 inside and glue them so that the motor arm can be rotated in place but

cannot exit from the hole.

Cut the two re-boost engines G1-19

and G1-20. Cut the two internal noz-

zles G1-17 and G1-18, curve and glue

them to form two coves. Roll the

engines and insert inside the nozzle.

Close the engine caps (they can be

opened and closed in orbit to protect

them) and glue the two engine in the

aft disc with 15° angle toward the

external side.

Cut the four pitch-yaw thrusters cavity indicated on the part G1-5 by

the circled letter R. Remove the same part from the G1-1 that at this

stage should be already glued inside the G1-5. Cut the same part from

the part C2-6 that are used as thick layer. Cut also the pitch-yaw

thrusters C2-6 (the ones with the 6 dots inside). Glue thruster to the

layer and both to the holes located on the G1-5.

Bend all the glue tabs of the Zvezda aft end and

insert in the main body. Check the tabs and try the

insertion before to glue the parts together. Be care-

ful with the glue to avoid that the antenna rotation

system is stacked by glue residual. Another point to

take into account is the part alignment. The antenna

motor located at the area III has to be aligned with

the area III on the main body indicated by the EVA

mark II <- III -> IIII.

Cut the large conical section G1-15 and glue the two ends to form the

cut-cone. Bend all the glue tabs. Glue together the two central structure

large disks. Glue the two disks on the shroud using only half of the tabs

(leaving an unglued tab each two). Once the disk are glued to the cone

bend the other tabs and try the insertion in the main body before to glue

the parts together.

Be careful with the parts alignment.

Rotate the conical section so that the

area III indicated by the EVA mark II

<- III -> IIII is aligned with the same

area on the main body indicated in the

same way. As indication the large win-

dow on the conical section has to be

aligned opposite respect to the large

antenna located on the aft.

Cut the body G1-10 and glue the

tab to form a tube. Remove the red

circles that represent the rotation

joint of the solar panels.

Cut the striped radiator C1-39, C1-40, and C1-41. remove

the central part from the C1-40. Glue the three radiators

on the G1-10. Roll the G1-10 on a sharp edge. Form a

tube by gluing the tab and attaching the two ends.

Prepare all the tabs of the large conical

section. They have to be bend horizon-

tally respect to the table. Try to fit the

small tube with the main body before to

glue them together. Rotate the tube so

that the two small rectangles (where

the C1-35 parts will be glued) are locat-

ed on the top of the tube and are

aligned with the area III (it means that

the large aft antenna is located on the

upper part of Zvezda. Glue the small

tube with the main body.
