Space Shuttle & Transport – Academy 12708

NASA started Space Shuttle development in 1972, with the mission to create a reusable spacecraft that would connect Earth to its orbit. Starting with Space Shuttle Columbia in 1981, to its retirement in 2011, a total of 135 Space Shuttle launches were completed. Missions ranged from science experiments in built-in space laboratories to long-lasting contributions to building the International Space Station (ISS) by delivering and installing the space station’s modular components, delivering and repairing space telescopes, and numerous satellite emissions. This kit contains over 75 plastic parts for a faithful recreation of both the Space Shuttle and its Boeing 747 transporter, in 1/288 scale.
