I'm a millennial who wasn't even born when the space shuttle first flew, but as a kid of the early 1980s I was lucky enough to follow many of its missions until NASA retired the fleet in 2011.

Naturally, as a Canadian far from the launching pad in Florida, I first watched it fly on television. But I dreamed of seeing one launch (literally, as I recall having a fun dream involving running nearby in a golf cart); I finally got the chance to see three launches in 2009 to 2010 (including Discovery), after graduating from university and securing a part-time job during the last recession that allowed me to travel, albeit counting pennies as I did so. I was lucky because the program retired a decade ago, on July 21, 2011.

So you can imagine my nostalgia when I took a look at Lego's latest set depicting space shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Space Telescope mission, STS-31, that launched on April 24, 1990 – almost exactly 31 years ago. I don't remember that mission, but I do remember many of the astronaut upgrade excursions to the telescope in the decades since; the first mission mainly addressed a flawed mirror that accidentally launched on Hubble and blurred its view, while others replaced and upgraded components.

The shuttle and Hubble were defining pieces of space technology for my generation. The shuttle deployed several satellites and helped to build the International Space Station, while Hubble has charted cosmic expansion and showed us cool scenes ranging from comet pieces slamming into Jupiter to a huge image of the galaxy Andromeda (M31) in high-definition.

An epic build

The NASA Space Shuttle Discovery (opens in new tab) set (MSRP $199.99 USD) releases Thursday (April 1) with 2,354 pieces to put together. It's far from Lego's first shuttle set, and long-time Lego fans probably know that the company released a Hubble-shuttle set for children some years ago.

This set is tailored firmly for the adult, display-only crowd. My build with "frustration-free packaging" (meaning the pieces and stickers were organized in 17 numbered bags and a couple of unlabeled ones) took me nearly 11 hours to complete.

I was moving fairly quickly as I have experience putting together other recent large space sets such as the International Space Station (864 pieces), the Apollo 11 Eagle lander (1,087 pieces) and the Apollo 11 Saturn V rocket (1,969 pieces in honor of its launching year, 1969.) But your mileage may vary. Incredibly adept Lego builders will probably clock well under 10 hours, while first-timers can expect to spend a lot more time. But really, what's the rush? It's a set well worth admiring as you go.

In NASA style, I recorded some "lessons learned" from constructing this set. The first one is to have a very large surface. My available desk space was roughly 3 feet by 2 feet (1 meter by 0.6 meters); I'd recommend a little larger as organizing the pieces, manual and ever-growing shuttle got tougher as the hours continued. I made it in the end, but it was a tight squeeze as the final set is 8.5 inches (21 centimeters) high, 21 inches (54 cm) long and 13.5 inches (34 cm) wide.

Next, pace yourself, as parts of the set require a lot of delicacy to put together and you'll want to be at high energy when those sections come up. One example is the numerous reflective stickers that must paste precisely onto sections of the payload bay doors, which happens at the tail end of a huge bag of pieces where you might be tired anyway. You'll also need to be careful that the base of the shuttle stays together while the top-heavy payload bay is under construction; a piece or two fell out from the bottom during my build, but I easily put it back together.

The diagrams that Lego sends in its gorgeous manual — filled with fun facts about shuttles — are mostly self-explanatory, although I struggled in a couple of spots. To admittedly tired eyes, as I built the set over three long days for this story, it looked like Lego was asking me to build two left wheels at one point. Also, the Canadarm robotic arm has a unique piece in the middle that is easy to mistake for other grey joints, so make sure not to repeat my error of using it in an antenna and scratching my head in utter confusion for 15 minutes until I spotted the wrongly used piece.

These are small quibbles with the otherwise incredible set, however. I got smaller nostalgic flashes when constructing the cockpit, complete with the 1980s-looking computers and the tiny astronaut chairs. The rudder and flaps snapped together easily on the shuttle frame, along with the engines. Lego also was careful to minimize the use of black-and-white pieces in the spots that won't show on the final build. Using yellows, blues, greens and reds made it a lot easier to sail through these sections quickly, because otherwise I would have been hunting for hours for the right piece.

I love how various parts of the shuttle move when you have it put together, although being a klutz, I didn't push the set too far in terms of its flexibility. That said, it appears the wheels fold up into and down from the frame. The rudder and flaps swing back and forth. Best of all, the payload bay doors open and close very smoothly. You can fit your completed Hubble inside this empty space, or stack it inside, or set it aside on a stand; Lego gives you complete freedom to figure out your display preference.

For those who might be introducing themselves to the shuttle, I love how the set embeds a little bit of education into the build. I already mentioned the facts in the manual, but what I also love is just how much the set shows in terms of the shuttle's capabilities. It's obvious from looking at it that it was designed to land somewhat like a plane.

The relative huge size of the payload bay was one of Lego's chief design challenges in making this set work. But it's well worth their effort, as it shows one of the chief functions of shuttle, which was to ferry stuff up and down from space. The shuttle doesn't quite show the real-life capacity of this vehicle, which was typically seven people; however, eight astronauts was possible if you really squeezed them in, STS-61A style. But I can appreciate the relative size of the cockpit made it difficult to fit in all the seating. As a little bonus, I love how you can see some of the seats and computers when you look through the glass windows at the front.

This set will require a lot of money and time on your part to launch successfully, but if you can afford both of these things it is well worth the investment. Shuttle lovers finally have a set that can proudly stand alongside those of the Apollo generation and the ISS, and the little detailed touches make this set a great tribute to remembering Hubble's enduring success.

Почти сорок лет назад, 12 апреля 1981 года, NASA запустила первый «Спейс шаттл». Полагаю, день двадцатилетия полёта Гагарина был выбран не случайно, но речь сейчас не об этом. Специально к сорокалетию первого полёта «Шаттла» LEGO сделала конструктор для взрослых.

Новый продукт LEGO стал довольно детальной копией третьего шаттла NASA — «Дискавери»:

Конструктор состоит из 2354 деталей. И в нём помимо самого орбитального аппарата «Дискавери» есть ещё и телескоп «Хаббл», который прячется в отсек для полезной нагрузки шаттла:

У корабля есть функциональное шасси, элевоны и руль управления:

Командный модуль можно извлечь, чтобы рассмотреть каждую деталь:

Отдельного внимания стоит и телескоп. У него регулируемые солнечные батареи и крышка диафрагмы:

Новый конструктор не первый представитель космической отрасли среди наборов LEGO. Помимо «Дискавери», компания предлагала собирать Международную космическую станцию, ракетно-космическую станцию «Сатурн-V», лунный модуль «Аполлона-11», на котором Нил Армстронг и Базз Олдрин сели на Луну:

Набор LEGO Space Shuttle Discovery в Европе будет продаваться за 199 € (примерно 18 тысяч рублей). Российская цена пока не названа.

A big kit with big fun – the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set is an enjoyable build that is out of this world.

Our Verdict

A beautiful kit that’s not only fun to build, but zenful too. Yes, the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery costs a bit more, but it’s worth it as you technically get not one, but two separate models (hello Hubble Telescope). The only downside is that you’ll have trouble finding a space big enough to display it.

Impressive replica
Interesting and fun build

Against

No minifigs
Lots of shiny stickers can be a bit fiddly
Metallic pieces scratch easily

Average price: $199.99/£169.99

Model number: 10283

Pieces: 2354

Finished item dimensions: 9 x 14 x 22 inches

Recommended age: 18+

The Space Shuttle Discovery is an amazing feat of engineering, and we’re thrilled to say that the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery kit is too! You can tell that a lot of time and care went into designing this kit. The attention to detail will make you giddy, from playing with the retractable landing gear to opening the payload bay and deploying the Hubble Telescope. From start to finish, the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery is a joy to build and will be an impressive display piece for any home.

Part of the advanced Lego Creator Expert series, the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery is aimed at more experienced builders. It’s recommended for those 18 or older, and we can see why as it’s got quite a lot of pieces, but this kit is perfectly suitable for patient older teens who are obsessed with all things space.

So, the really cool thing about this Lego Space Shuttle set is that it actually comes with two models – the Space Shuttle Discovery and the Hubble Telescope too. Not only that, but it comes with multiple display stands so you can choose to show them off individually or together.

But if the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery set is a little out of your budget at $199.99/£169.99, consider the Lego International Space Station (opens in new tab) for $69.99/£59.99 instead – it comes with its own mini Space Shuttle Discovery!

Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery: Build

With over 2,000 pieces, this is a big build that you can really sink your teeth into. The pieces were separated into bags labelled 1 to 17 (technically 18 bags total, as there were two number 2 bags). It took us about a week of evenings to complete (around 8 hours in total), but if you fancied powering through the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery kit, it can be completed over an intense weekend. However, we advise that you treat this build as a marathon rather than a sprint. If you go too quickly, or build for too long, you’ll get tired and make mistakes… and as most of the pieces are white, you’ll want to keep your wits about you.

You start off by building the Hubble Telescope and then move onto the main event. As it’s a mostly symmetrical build, some people might find this a bit boring, but we found that they spaced out the repeated sections in a way that didn’t feel too repetitive – in fact, it felt more mindful than annoying. It was also really interesting putting together the clever mechanisms that make certain parts of the Space Shuttle Discovery move, such as the elevons on the wings.

One of the trickiest parts of the built was actually getting all the shiny, mirrored stickers onto the large, curved white panels. Lining them up can be a bit fiddly, but we found placing one edge of the sticker on the end of the little orange tool (the brick separator tool that comes with all large Lego sets), and then lining this up against the edge of the panel made sticker placement much, much easier. This way if you start laying the sticker down and notice it’s at a bit of an angle, you can pull it back up again using the orange tool and not damage the sticker.

Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery: Design

Just look at it! This is one impressive model and it makes a fantastic display piece. However, the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery isn’t just for show - there are several movable parts to play with. You can pop the landing gear out, deploy the robotic arm, even the split rudder is functional. One of our favorite details is that the cockpit opens up and you can see all the controls inside.

The only real negative thing we have to say about this kit is that there are no minifigures. Due to the size of the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery, we understand that any included minifigs would not have been to scale, but it would have been nice to have a token astronaut anyway – maybe it could have stood next to the information placards that comes with each model.

Overall, the attention to detail is just amazing. For example, did you know that on the starboard side of the Discovery the American flag is actually backwards? This is because regulations require that the American flag must always fly with the stars forward so that the flag looks like it’s trailing in the wind.

That’s a fun tidbit that we gleaned from the instruction booklet, which is just as much a treat as it is building the model. It is packed full of fascinating facts about the Discovery and Hubble Telescope which adds to the building experience. The booklet’s pages have a black background as the majority of the pieces are white, which makes the instructions stand out and easier to see… however, this does mean that fingerprints really show up on these pages which will irritate perfectionists.

Should you buy the Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery?

Yes, yes you definitely should. It’s a satisfying build that will challenge you, but not to the point where you’re tearing your hair out. Plus, it’s one of the most beautiful and recognizable Lego builds out there.

You don’t need to be a super NASA fan to know that this is one cool spaceship – every time you look at your completed Lego NASA Space Shuttle Discovery you’ll be filled with a sense of pride, plus it makes a great talking point. It’ll look good anywhere, once you find the space for it that is – at around 22 inches long, it’s quite a sizable model!

What other Lego space collection kits can you buy?

Relive the Apollo Moon missions with the rather impressive Lego NASA Apollo Saturn V (opens in new tab) ($119.99/£104.99). Those looking for something a bit cheaper will like the Lego NASA Apollo 11 Lunar Lander (opens in new tab) ($99.99/£89.99). And, of course, the best Lego Star Wars sets are always worth a look – fans of The Mandalorian won’t be able to resist the Lego Star Wars Razor Crest model.

Почти 40 лет назад состоялся исторический запуск космического шаттла Space Shuttle, который вывел на орбиту Hubble Space Telescope, и в честь этой даты компания LEGO выпустила новую модель тематического конструктора для взрослых. Набор под названием Space Shuttle Discovery позволит собрать отлично детализированную мини-копию знаменитого космического шаттла и запущенного с его помощью на орбиту космического телескопа «Хаббл» в масштабе 1:70.

В этот набор «ЛЕГО» входят 2354 детали, в том числе и специально сконструированные для него элементы — части отсека полезной нагрузки и ветровых стекол корабля. Элевоны на крыльях шаттла подвижные. Для изменения их положения потребуется повернуть средний двигатель корабля. Также в комплекте с конструктором поставляются две подставки для размещения этих моделей после сборки. Конструктор сложный, поэтому он имеет возрастную пометку 18+. Размеры корабля в собранном виде составляют 21,78 см в высоту, 34,6 см в ширину и 55,46 см в длину.

Модели для этого набора разрабатывались при поддержке инженеров NASA, поэтому конструктор получился особенно реалистичным и красивым. LEGO Space Shuttle Discovery по сравнению с другими подобными конструкторами бренда получил не только очень большое количество элементов, но и улучшенную детализацию.

Например, в передней части крыльев корабля есть даже особые мелкие детальки серого цвета — это ЛЕГО-версия использовавшегося в настоящем шаттле армированного углеродного волокна. А если поднять кабину корабля, то можно увидеть среднюю палубу с находящимися на ней крохотными фигурками экипажа.

Когда конструктор LEGO Space Shuttle Discovery поступит в продажу? В магазинах этот тематический игровой набор начнет появляться с 1 апреля 2021 года. Цена набора составит $200.
