![]() The LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) set is part of a series of buildable models for adults, offering an escape from everyday life with display pieces to admire. The multiple display stands let you display the space shuttle model and telescope individually or together. The telescope features movable solar panels and an aperture door. The cockpit opens to reveal flight and mid-decks with seats for 5 crew members. Adjust the elevons, engage the landing gear on reentry and deploy the robotic arm. Open the payload bay to deploy the Hubble Telescope on its mission to explore the cosmos. Packed with features, this build marks the amazing accomplishments of Discovery. With 2,354 pieces, this engaging challenge lets you build the Space Shuttle Discovery, plus the Hubble Space Telescope, launched on NASAs STS-31 mission in 1990. ![]() JPL built and manages operations of the Perseverance rover and Ingenuity helicopter.Celebrate the wonders of space with this LEGO NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (10283) model building set for adults. LEGO sets are one of the first toys a child plays with when growing up and this love of the building spans the test of time and age. Great Lakes Science Center is home to the NASA Glenn Visitor Center - one of only 11 visitor centers in the country Exhibits. By Lauren Gray, Don Melanson and Gabrielle Hondorp Published. Scott Hulme, a Mars public engagement specialist at JPL who helped the LEGO team refine the kit, said, “We love sharing the work Perseverance and Ingenuity are doing on Mars, and collaborations like this are another way to make space exploration more fun and accessible to the next generation of explorers.” The NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander model measures over 7 (20 cm) high, 8 (22cm) wide and 7 (20cm) deep.

Today, we’ve successfully landed rovers and even a helicopter on Mars to explore the climate, geology, and possibility of life on the Red Planet,” said JPL Director Laurie Leshin. “Our Mars missions began decades ago with an idea so big, many thought it was impossible. The end result is that technologies developed for the space program can benefit people on Earth and – in this particular case – help educate and excite the public about the space program. These cooperative efforts provide a streamlined way for JPL, one of 10 NASA centers around the country, to do business with the private sector. The latest in a history of NASA-LEGO collaborations, the kit allows builders to explore key features of Perseverance like its mobility system and science instruments, see data returned by the rover, and complete interactive challenges.īy teaming with these technology transfer offices and programs, corporations can form strategic alliances with JPL to either license intellectual property, as was the case with LEGO, or to gain access to JPL’s engineers and scientists to solve a range of technological problems. Build your own Hubble Space Telescope launch with Lego's 2,354-piece NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set. The kit is just one example of how JPL’s Technology Affiliates Program works with industry, in cooperation with the Office of Technology Transfer and Corporate Partnerships at Caltech, which manages JPL for NASA. To create the building set, LEGO designers met with engineers at JPL to learn more about the engineering designs of the spacecraft.
