The set has been added to the LEGO 2021 checklist. Hubble is definitely the highlight of my career.’ ‘Looking at the model, it was great to reminisce about my experiences in space launching the telescope for the first time. ‘I was thrilled to see the space shuttle in LEGO form, and was very impressed by the amount of intricate detail they have managed to recreate from the module where we used to sleep and eat through to what we called the “milk stalls” on the telescope,’ said former astronaut Dr. This was without a doubt the most challenging part of this model – trying to couple the front and main landing gear without removing any space from the payload bay and without compromising the structure of the model.’ Add functional landing gear and you have a real puzzle. ‘Generally, in a LEGO model we can rely on the size to accommodate the structure that holds the whole set together, but on the Discovery Space Shuttle we needed to create a smooth exterior and an interior capable of holding the payload. In the real vehicle every inch of space is used in ingenious ways,’ said LEGO Model Designer Milan Madge. Now you can mark this grand accomplishment of space exploration by building an incredibly detailed LEGO version of the iconic shuttle, complete with the Hubble. ‘The Space Shuttle is the most complex vehicle ever made, so as you can imagine, translating this into LEGO was an exciting challenge.
It can be stowed in the payload bay ready for builders to recreate its deployment. The set also builds the Hubble Space Telescope, with its hinged mirror housing and new gold foil solar arrays.
Inside there is a crew cabin with the five seats for the astronauts, the flight and robotic arm (Remote Manipulator System) control panels and the space shuttle’s storage lockers.
