CubeSat paper model

Assemble a paper model of a CubeSat. 

CubeSats are small satellites ranging in size from 1 unit (1U), measuring 10 cm on each side and weighing around 1 kg, to a maximum of 36 units (36U). Once in space, CubeSats are used to test instruments, conduct science experiments, enable commercial applications and support educational projects.
