Paper Plane To Launch From Space Station


A team from the University of Tokyo is planning to launch an Origami Plane from the international Space Station. A small prototype of the fragile craft is already undergoing testing in an ultra-high speed wind tunnel near Tokyo, where it is being tested at Mach 7.

Aerospace Engineering professor Shinji Suzuki says no launch date has been set for the paper space plane.
