Paper Art and Origami

I am a fan of the Japanese art of origami. My favorite thing to do is take origami and turn it into a decorative piece of art. I origami to be a way of sprucing up a room and making it more colorful. I enjoy the way origami is a 3D art that I can shape. Here is my website for my art http://paperandorigami.webs.com/

More Space...in Space

How do you create more space…in space? The Bigelow Expandable Activity Module (BEAM) is one solution to creating additional working space on the International Space Station.

BEAM will be deployed to its full size this Thursday, May 26, and begin its two-year technology demonstration attached to the space station. The astronauts aboard will first enter the habitat on June 2, and re-enter the module several times a year throughout the test period. While inside, they will retrieve sensor data and assess conditions inside the module.

Why Use an Expandable Habitat?

Expandable habitats are designed to take up less room on a spacecraft, but provide greater volume for living and working in space once expanded. This first test of an expandable module will allow investigators to gauge how well it performs and specifically, how well it protects against solar radiation, space debris and the temperature extremes of space.

BEAM launched April 8 aboard a SpaceX Dragon cargo spacecraft, and is an example of our increased commitment to partnering with industry to enable the growth of commercial use of space.

Get Involved!

During expansion, we will provide live updates on NASA Television starting at 5:30 a.m. EDT on Thursday, May 26.

Ahead of the expansion, we will host a Facebook Live Q&A with engineers and team members from NASA and Bigelow Aerospace. Tune in on Tuesday, May 24 at 5 p.m.

We will also host a Reddit Science Q&A on Tuesday at 6 p.m. where we will continue to answer questions about Thursday’s expansion.

Make your own origaBEAMi!

To coincide with the expansion, here is a simple and fun activity called “origaBEAMi” that lets you build your own miniature inflatable BEAM module. Download the “crew procedures” HERE that contain step-by-step instructions on how to print and fold your BEAM module. You can also view a “how to” video HERE.

UPDATE: NASA called off today’s effort to inflate an expandable module attached to the International Space Station after its first attempt fell flat.

After they examine what the data tell them about today’s attempt, ground controllers could restart the inflation process as soon as Friday.

NEW papercut bangles! I made 10 of these limited edition, handmade papercut bangle bracelets and they will be up for sale at 10am eastern time on Friday March 4. :) (shop at www.sarahtrumbauer.etsy.com) Each design is cut by hand from paper using an x-acto knife, and then sealed to a wooden bangle that I stained in 2 different shades. I had so much fun making these and hope you love them! <3
