More interesting news regarding 3D printing from NASA. NASA had tested 3D printing in zero-g environments in the past and now they are looking at printing parts for rockets. Images of the launch can be found at jurvetson's flicker page .

In anticipation of a launch new North Korean rocket, I have posted the Unha-3 Space Launch Vehicle , with Kwangmyongsong-3 satellite.

 

 

 

Although the launch was not a complete success, failing to deploy the satellite into a low Earth orbit, South Korea has become the latest country with the capability to launch rockets into space. Models of the Naro launch pad and Korean Space Launch Vehicle are availble individually and as a collection here at T3DS.
