  • Slip the end of a thin monofilament line down between the photovoltaic panels, through the center of the 3U CubeSat bus, work it past the internal sail-boom wires, and out the other end. Pull enough line through to allow it to be tied to something. Fill the 3U bus with glue to hold fast to the line, and let the glue dry.
  • Pull the line taut, and tie its ends to objects to position the model as desired.
  • That's how this photo on the right was obtained.

Or, you can protect it in a nice case:

  • Here's a source for an appropriate size clear acrylic case. This one has a footprint of 12 x 16 inches.
  • Consider using a space-themed poster on one of the case's sides. The one in the image below is Spitzer Space Telescope's view of the galactic center, available here.
