Origami James Webb Space Telescope

High-Level Project Summary

I developed a 3D origami prototype of JWST. For this purpose, I relied on sample designs provided by NASA. I also drew detailed diagram for the process. Firstly I created base using 6 parallelogram cut papers separated by polystyrene cup cutouts. Then I cut 20 same sized hexagons from golden foamic sheet and pasted on a paper. Then I kept on making tiny objects and kept joining them to develop my prototype.The prototype shows how JWST looks like.
