NASA 2-in-1 Set

NASA 2-in-1 Set

Introducing the NASA 2-in-1 Set, featuring two wonderful models inspired by iconic space exploration. Perfect for anyone who dreams of distant voyages, space discovery, or advancing scientific knowledge.

The NASA Space Shuttle Discovery is actually a remarkable three-in-one model: an orbiter, stand, and satellite. The Shuttle features two cargo bays that open to reveal the HST model, which includes movable solar panels and an aperture door. Other functional elements include movable ailerons on the orbiter's wings, a movable tail rudder, and retractable landing gear. The Shuttle's stand employs tensegrity (tensional integrity or floating compression), an elegant structural engineering design that allows the model to hover above the stand on thin fishing lines, as if floating free in space. Your Discovery Shuttle comes with an informational plaque, providing key facts about the Discovery mission, with permission from the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.

The NASA Lunar Rover is an incredible model "moon buggy" powered by a spring, capable of traveling up to 3 meters. The wooden mechanical model features rotating and pivoting wheels, a dish antenna, front-mounted camera, and a sophisticated mechanism for folding the rover into a more compact form for rocket transport, just like the original. Engraving on the rover and its wheels represent the electric wires on the original LRVs, while cut-outs and other design touches throughout the model make it lightweight and enhance its realistic look and feel.
