Outside Links:

• Windows to the Universe: An excellent resource, highlighting ACE science from the perspective of the SWICS and SWIMS instruments.
• Space Craft International:

Go to their free model page to download cut-and-paste paper models of NASA satellites. Some are more difficult and time-consuming than others; I recommend the NEAR model for beginners (only four pieces) and the Cassini model for experts.

• Goddard Space Flight Center has some great links to other ACE outreach sites.
