NASA's plan to expand an experimental inflatable module on board the International Space Station this week has given rise to a new "space-craft."
The space agency has created "origaBEAMi," a print, fold and inflate-it-yourself miniature paper model of the Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM). The real BEAM was launched aboard a SpaceX Dragon capsule in April and is scheduled to be deployed to its full-size Thursday morning (May 26).

Cool and very simple to make. Takes five minutes and works every time.
