Hubble Space Telescope Expert Model Exterior Pattern Pieces: Print this document on 32lb paper Complete assembly directions and more information can be found online at www.hubblesite.org/go/model Completed model (display suggestion) About this model This highly detailed model of the Hubble Space Telescope is intended for experienced model-builders. You have the option of also assembling the internal structure of the telescope, including the mirror and the instrument bay, which fits inside the external shell. The details of this model are based on the telescope s configuration after Servicing Mission 3B in 2002. This project is not appropriate for young children because of the high level of detail and the use of dangerously sharp tools. The estimated completion time is 30 hours.

The parts are in sections color-coded by the part of the telescope they belong to. This document should be printed onto 32-lb (120g) paper, ideally in color. (You may want to have extra printouts handy in case you need them.) The directions (in a separate file) can be printed on regular paper in black-and-white. Pattern scale: This model is designed to be at 1:48 scale relative to the real Hubble Space Telescope. To ensure your model hasn t been resized during printing, measure this scale.
