Part 9: Quest

11/2006 Version Draft

Flights: ISS - 7A

STS 104

12-24 July. 2001

Model Design: R. Fortezza

Manual Version Draft

11/2006

Dear Modeler,

after a Ðwhile :-)Ð the ISS Paper Model development re-started again. Th model this time is the US

Airlock ÐQuestÐ, an element of the International Space Station Paper Model. It was built from

scratch on the basis of photos published by NASA. The Russian PIRS and the SSRMS will follow

shortly

Please notify me via e-mail any error or discrepancy you could find during the assembly.

My e-mail address is: fortezza@marscenter.it

The modifications will be implemented according to your suggestions. Visit the Marscenter WEB

site to download the updated version.

Detailed pictures are available at NASA WEB site at: spaceflight.nasa.gov. Please check the images

taken during the Shuttle missions to ISS, before the assembly of the different elements to control the

correct positioning of each element.

This model is a shareware, and the idea is to develop the model 1:100 of the entire ISS.

If you want to support the initiative please send me your contribution as indicated in the last page of

this Manual.

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 the assembly phase.

Enjoy

US Airlock "QUEST" 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 a pair of small scissors is better. Glue together the parts using a thin, even

coat of ordinary white glue. Print the sheets on a color printer. The format should be compatible with

both A-4 or US Letter sheet size. I used an EPSON RS600 Color ink-Jet Printer with EPSON Glossy

(light paper) or Photo (cartboard) and a resolution of 1440 dpi with excellent results.

QUEST parts are printed on a single sheet. It should be printed on glossy paper (available for any ink-

jet printer). The numbered parts belonging to this sheet are identified by a number. The parts included

in dotted red lines should be reinforced by gluing them on a cardboard sheet before the cut. The part

indicated with red red oblique hatch should be removed. The part indicated as transparent should be cut

using a transparent sheet (the one used for the overhead projector is good).

Cut the part 1 and the gluing tab 2 carefully. Put the glue on the tab only on one side and glue it to

the main body of Destiny part 1. Take note the of the colored triangles (red and green) to be used

later on for the alignment of the terminal cones (I suggest to mark with a pen the inner part of the

element to identify the zenit (Red) or nadir (Green) point of the module)

Roll the part 1 on a table edge and, once

the shape is similar to a cylinder, glue

the second half of the tab and form the

QUEST body.

Pay attention to the gluing phase. Align the sheet

edges on the tab trying to eliminate any gap between

the two parts. Use a small tube inside the destiny

body to press the part during the drying period. Use

small amount of glue to avoid that it spread out on the

external side of the model.

Cut the reinforcing disk 3 carefully with all the

gluing tabs. Glue the disk 4 on cardboard and cut

it. Glue the disk 3 over the disk 4 and bend at 90

cated in the drawings.

Cut and glue one of the end cone (part 3). The gluing

tab is separated. Pass the element on a sharp edge of a

table several time so that the element assumes the

conical shape naturally. Warning: keep note of the

position of the small green and red triangles located

on the external side of the part to be used for the

alignment of the end cone with respect to the main

body (I suggest to write a small mark on the back side

of the part). Green Triangle is Nadir (down) position,

while Red Triangle is Zenit (up) direction

Cut the elements of the mating ring 5 and 6 and glue them back to back. Leave unglued the opposite

part of the tab, so that it can be glued later between the two layers. Roll the element on a sharp edge of

a table several time so that the element assumes the round shape naturally. At this stage glue the tab

inside the two layer. Slip the ring in the mating ring and glue in position

pleted, you should cut out the protruding small teeth used for the self alignment of the elements

during the mating. Glue this hatch to the starboard hatch of Unity. Refer to the picture for the ori

entation of the Modules. Glue one of the PMA to the port hatch (the one close to the "Unity"

Label). The Nadir port of Unity is used to mate the MPLM and do not need the PMA for this

function. The other PMA is attached to the front port of Destiny .

the shape is similar to a cylinder, glue the

Pay attention to the gluing phase. Align the sheet edges on the tab trying to eliminate any gap between

the two parts. Use a small tube inside the QUEST exit compartment body to press the part during the dry-

ing period. Use small amount of glue to avoid that it spread out on the external side of the model.
