Background information:
The Space Shuttle, developed by NASA, revolutionized space travel with its reusable design. The shuttle system could carry up to 7 astronauts and a payload of 24.5 tons into Earth orbit. Atlantis has been in service on 35 missions since October 3, 1985 and has made a significant contribution to the history of space travel. In 2012, the legendary shuttle program was discontinued after more than 30 successful years. With this kit, you can take a piece of this impressive history into your own hands and recreate it for enthusiasts and fans of space travel.
