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.
More to come!
