ORION SPACECRAFT (paper)

This is a folded paper model of the proposed Lockheed-Martin/Airbus ORION spacecraft. The Orion is a joint USA (NASA)-European (ESA) crew space vehicle first launched in 2016. It is supposed to carry a crew of up to four within earth or low-earth orbit.

It is poorly designed and ill-fitting, but was an interesting introduction to folded paper models. The model is a propaganda handout from L-M from before 2010, and comes printed on four glossy pages of thin card stock.
