Ugears NASA Space Shuttle Discovery

Ugears NASA Space Shuttle Discovery – mechanical wooden model in 1:96

Three models in one box! You build the Space Shuttle Discovery – the third of NASA's five reusable space shuttles – in 1:96 scale, a tensegrity stand and the Hubble Space Telescope, which can be deployed from the cargo bay. The stand holds the shuttle hovering in mid-air, so it looks weightless. Pretty cool on the shelf!

And there is plenty to play with: the cargo bay opens in two halves, and Hubble has a robotic arm that folds out, movable solar panels and an opening hatch. Ailerons on the wings and an adjustable rudder let you simulate flight manoeuvres, and the landing gear can be retracted and extended. An info plaque with facts about the Discovery missions and officially NASA-licensed stickers are included.

The parts are laser-cut from wooden sheets and assemble without glue or tools. The instructions are available in eleven languages, and you can get spare parts free of charge on request.
