NASA Space Shuttle Discovery model kit

Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of space exploration and technology with this 3D wooden model of the Space Shuttle Discovery! This NASA-owned spacecraft has become legendary, having made the most launches and landings in history with 39 between 1984 and 2011.

The distinction lies not only in its impressive history, but also in the fact that it was on board on April 25, 1990 that the Hubble Space Telescope was launched, revolutionizing our understanding of the Universe.

The Space Shuttle Discovery model is not just a construction set, but a true 3-in-1 engineering masterpiece: an orbiter, a stand and a satellite telescope. It is 1:96 scale, with two cargo bays that open to showcase the Hubble Space Telescope with movable solar panels and doors. The front and rear compartments open independently of each other, allowing you to explore the internal structure of the spacecraft.

You can pull out the telescope and attach it to a robotic stand, which is controlled by a disc. Tensegrity technology was used to create this model, which allows it to stay in the air on a thin line, creating an impressive illusion of free drifting in space.

In addition, the model has several functional elements, such as movable ailerons on the wings, a rudder, retractable landing gear and other details that make it as realistic as possible. A ratchet mechanism on the base allows you to adjust the tilt and roll of the spacecraft.

By assembling the NASA Space Shuttle Discovery model, you can feel like a participant in its incredible mission. This construction has an increased level of complexity, and it will be of interest to an experienced assembler, it can also be a stylish decorative element in any interior.

The NASA Space Shuttle Discovery is not just a model, it is a chance to delve into the world of space and science with a recognized engineering masterpiece.
