The Space Shuttle Atlantis is one of mankind's greatest creations and has profoundly influenced the history of space exploration. This block model perfectly complements the COBI Historical Collection. The carefully designed set includes a scale model of the shuttle made at 1:100. Excellent reproduction, high-quality prints, movable elements, access to the interior, a figure of an astronaut, and a mini-model of the Hubble Space Telescope combine collector and educational value. You can display the entire model with the included stands with signatures. The assembly of the kit is simple. Intuitive instructions based on clear symbols help you navigate the entire process of satisfying construction with ease. Build a story block by block and create your own collection!
Atlantis (OV-104) is the fourth NASA shuttle to complete a space flight. It was one of the five reusable shuttles used to transport people and equipment into Earth orbit. The maiden flight took place on October 3, 1985. During its 26 years of service, Atlantis completed 33 missions and spent 306 days in orbit around Earth. The shuttle's landing on July 21, 2011, after a successful mission to supply the International Space Station, marked the end of the Space Shuttle era. After being retired, Atlantis was transported to the Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex, where it now serves as a museum.
The Hubble Space Telescope, which orbits in low Earth orbit, is named after the American astronomer Edwin Hubble. The telescope was launched into orbit by the Space Shuttle Discovery on April 24, 1990. Since its launch, it has become one of the most important instruments in the history of astronomy, providing an incredible amount of data. The Atlantis shuttle serviced the Hubble telescope during the STS-125 mission in 2009. During the mission, new instruments were delivered, and necessary repairs were made.
