Just in time for the deployment of the real experimental habitat on board the International Space Station, NASA is offering an origami model of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module, or BEAM. The “origaBEAMi” reproduces the inflatable room in miniature using about two dozen folds of a single sheet of paper and “a good firm puff of air.” The model’s template and Ground Crew Procedures (instructions) can be downloaded from NASA’s website.
