Did NASA build a ratchet wrench?
The ratchet wrench was designed by Noah Paul-Gin, an engineer at Made In Space Inc., a northern California company that NASA contracted to design, build and operate the printer. Paul-Gin created a 3-D model of the ratchet and made several wrenches, such as the one shown here on an identical printer. Credits: Made In Space

What are the three main parts of the Space Observatory?
This observatory has three major parts: (1) the x-ray telescope, whose mirrors will focus x-rays from celestial objects; (2) science instruments, which record the x-rays so that x-ray images can be produced and analyzed; and (3) the spacecraft, which provides the environment necessary for the telescope and the instruments to work.
