Dear Modeler,

t hese paper models are part of the International Space Station Paper Model. They were 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 e-mail 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.

Z1 Element should be mounted on the zenit port of Unity, while PMA 3 has to be installed on the nadir

Port. 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 posi-

tioning of each part. However, drawings of ISS elements have been included in this manual .

These models are freeware, 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 in the last page. Your name will be posted in the Sup-

porter list published on the Paper-ISS page at MARS WEB site and you can download all the updated ver-

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

High-quality printed model (Unity+Zarya+Shuttle Endeavour+Zvezda+Soyuz+Progress+Z1 and related

manuals) is available based on un-compressed files and original sheets printed with 1440 dpi ink-jet print-

er. If you are interested please send me a request via e-mail. I’ll provide you the cost and time estimation.

Send the money directly via mail to the address indicated at the last page. The model is shipped using ordi-

nary post service. If you want express courier please specify it in your request.

Enjoy

Z1 & PMA3 Assembling Guide

Cut out and bend the parts following the lines. 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 elements have been included in the guide to help you during mounting. Take the piece

# 4 and remove the four polygonal central parts labelled with the "R" sign. After that cut and

glue the piece # 1 with the pieces # 2 & 3, as illustrated as follows.

Remove the circular inner part from piece # 6. After that glue it with the piece # 5 and glue them

with the 1, 2 & 3 assembly, to have the forward panel of Z1. Fold the two sides of piece # 4 and

glue it with the 1, 2, 3, 5 and 6 assembly, to have the back panel of Z1. In this way we will have

the body box of Z1 element.

Cut the pieces # 7 & 8, you can choose to

remove only the parts labelled with "R" or

to remove all the white parts to increase the

realism. After that glue the part # 7 at top of

Z1 box, and glue the part # 8 in the bottom

of Z1 box. To have the four gyrodynes cut

and glue the pieces # 16 & 17 (phase 1),

after that roll around and glue to them the

piece # 18 (phase 2). Roll and glue the piece

19 (phase 3) and put it inside the gyrodyne

to have the inner shaft (phase 4). Glue the

piece # 20 around the gyrodyne (phase 5),

after that place every single gyrodyne in its

place (located in the four polygonal holes

made in the back face of Z1).

Cut the connector plates

# 10 & #11, fold the two

lateral panels and glue

them on the small gluing

boxes on the part # 4. Cut

the tool boxes #21 and

#22, mount them and glue

them on the large gluing

tabs on the same part #4.

Glue the piece # 45 orthogonally over its base #44 to form the

boom support. Mount the element on the upper side of the

cover plate (piece # 7), this piece will help to fix in its position

the antenna's boom. Glue the pieces # 12 & #13 on the front

panel of Z1. This two pieces will serve as hinges for the foldable

Panel.

Roll on his main axis and glue the following piec-

es: # 28, 27 & 23. After that fold and glue the part

# 24 representing the double gimbal for antenna

pointing . In order to have the Ku antenna

(SGANT dish) and its boom, glue together the

above pieces.

#28

#27

#24

#23

#25

#26

#44

#43

Fix the Ku band antenna's boom over the piece # 44. Cut

and fold the piece # 9 and glue it on the pieces # 12 & 13.

Cut the PMA - 3 (Pressurized Mating Adapter, parts # 34 & 35).

The # 34 is the forward one. Bend carefully each part to form an

octagon (use a metal straight edge to bend each panel). Glue the

white tab to form an octagonal prism.

#34

#35 #36

Bend the yellow tabs at 90 degrees ad glue them to #

34 and #35.

Cut the pieces # 33, roll it and glue the white tabs to

form a small cylinder. Rotate the cylinder until the

harness is aligned. Glue the cylinder to the PMA's

sticking the PMA black tabs inside the inner side of

the cylinder using a pencil. This pieces will form the

docking collar of the PMA-3.

#39 & #40

Cut and Fold the SASA (S-band Antenna

Support Assembly) that is momentary

installed on the starboard lower side of Z1

as indicated in the drawings at page 8.
