Assembly Instructions for STS-41D payload

(Discovery’s Maiden Flight)

Building OAST-1 payload

First build the main structure,

the triangular structure with the

numbered areas. Boxes 1, 2 and

3 go in their respective places.

cylinder

This part will cover the hole of

the cylinder. Do not glue

because is a removable piece to

replace the solar panel.

Solar panel is also inserted here.

Rolled part

Cylinder is

glued to box

The parts indicated are

glued to the gray areas in

the main triangular box.

For better results glue this

whole part to extra

cardboard to make it

sturdier. The circular

element which is the

grapple fixture is glued to

the gray little bar. *

Building the Solar Array

Truss

The Solar Array has 3 elements, 2 are the solar array faces and the third

element is the truss that is glued in the middle of one face. The truss is the

tall and thin element is the photo above.

These are both ends of the Solar Array. The left end shows the

“rolled” piece of cardboard that will fit inside the cylinder. Note the

other end.

Building the Syncom-IV satellite

This step is simple and very

straightforward. Make a

cylinder with these 2 parts

and use the circular covers

in sheet 2 to make the

satellite.

Add the engine

nozzle to the

bottom.
