#7 Assembling the ANTENNA

  1. Cut out both forms. Be sure to punch the holes first. (Look for the ⊕.)
  2. Curl and glue the large form onto itself to form a shallow cone. Hold this piece together until the glue starts drying.
  3. Coat the inside of the center of the cone and the back side of the smaller circle with glue. When dry, press the smaller circle into the center of the cone.
  4. Cut a 14-centimeter piece from the remaining dowel rod. Slide the ANTENNA onto one end of the rod. Slip the other end of the rod through the holes in the bottom of the cradle on the OSSE end of the spacecraft.

The NASA Compton Gamma Ray Observatory model is now complete. You can display it by suspending it from the ceiling by a piece of thread or monofilament fishing line or by creating a base for it.
